SHANGGENG LI

Shanggeng Li is an Edinburgh-based composer for film, games and media. His work is driven by story, place and world-building, creating distinctive musical identities through acoustic, orchestral, and electronic sound worlds.

He spent three years as a game designer at Tencent. That experience continues to shape how he approaches interactive media, from pacing and player perspective to the relationship between music, movement and world design. He later studied composition for screen and games at the University of Edinburgh.

He is particularly drawn to projects in which music can deepen the audience’s connection to a story and the world it inhabits, creating work that is emotionally engaging, immersive and distinctive in character.
