Emer Landers is an Irish composer who has written music for film, television, and video games.

Inspired by thematic film scores and her love of musical theatre, she writes melodically driven scores ranging in scale from solo piano up to a full orchestra- occasionally infusing them with synth elements. Her recent score for Jason Branagan’s “Forever Hold Your Peace” gained a nomination for Best Score at the Underground Film Awards 2022 and at the Dublin International Short Film and Music Festival 2023, and she worked with a team of BAFTA Crew alumni on “Bach is Blue” which premiered at Latitude Festival in 2021.

She won 3rd Prize at the International Pannonia Film Music Competition in 2020, and has had her music performed at the National Portrait Gallery in London. She has contributed to a number of production music albums for West One Music Group, JW Media Music, Little Wren Music, Felt Production Music and Atomica Music, resulting in placements on channels such as Disney +, ESPN, NBC Sports, Sky, NFL, Great American Family and France 3. She scored a number of video game titles including “Universal Monsters Online”, “Dark Orbit”, and “Uridium Wars” for Bigpoint Inc. and “Forge” by Dark Vale Games. She has also written original songs for animation with Wildbrain Spark.

Emer continues to expand on her professional career internationally and is passionate about collaborating on projects across all genres. She sits on the Board of Directors for the Screen Composers Guild of Ireland and is a member of IFTA. She works as a tutor with Thinkspace Education and holds an MMus in Composition for Screen from the Royal College of Music alongside a BA in Music from Trinity College Dublin.
