Angela Tisner is a music composer for film and a cellist, with a unique emphasis on ethnomusicology.

She graduated with honours from La Sorbonne University in Art History and Film, and later earned an MA in Contemporary Culture and Ethnomusicology. Her thesis focused on the Alan Lomax early recordings: "Hard Hitting Songs For Hard-Hit People: How Music Shapes Survival."

In 2021, she received the globally distinguished Fulbright Scholarship and relocated to Los Angeles, California, where she specialised in Film Scoring.

Angela has composed music for prominent artistic and audiovisual projects, including Feel the Sound (Barbican Centre, London), Island in the Sound (Gagosian and the Old Carpet Factory), and A Century of Sounds (Pitt Rivers Oxford's Anthropology Museum).

Her work has been programmed at the Netherlands Film Festival, Espinho Film Fest, the Regards Croisés Residency, the International Music & Cinema Marseille, and Soundtrack Cologne, among others. She is a former member of the MSCN European Academy.

As a composer, she has collaborated on multiple productions with acclaimed directors, including two-time Emmy Award winner Varda Bar-Kar and GIFF Best First Feature winner Alex Noppel.

Her work weaves together film scoring, sound art, and the preservation of endangered musical traditions around the world.
