"MUSIC IS THERE FOR EVERYBODY. IT'S A RIVER WE CAN ALL PUT OUR CUPS INTO, AND DRINK IT, AND BE SUSTAINED BY IT." - JOHN WILLIAMS

“I chose Christy to compose for The Long Goodbye because of her ability to create incredibly delicate and emotional music that matches up with what's on screen so beautifully that it soaks into your soul. But what I didn't know when I chose her, was just how much passion, talent, hustle and professionalism she would bring to the entire creative process. She listened carefully to notes, made thoughtful (and brilliant) adjustments, and found ways to make even the most fragile moments come to life. She's also incredibly humble, and stands by her word - two traits that I find exceptionally valuable.” - Karl Stelter, Director of The Long Goodbye

My custom main title theme for the Curiosity Stream show, "Deep Time History"

Official "America the Beautiful" arrangement I did through 5 Alarm Music for The Purge, The Purge: Anarchy and The Purge: Election Year. It was used as part of the main title for The Purge: Anarchy and also used in all three advertising campaigns worldwide. This track has also been featured on America's Got Talent.

Here is another example of my 5 Alarm Music arrangement of America The Beautiful in The Purge: Anarchy advertising campaign. Creepy and effective!

Thanks to Cavendish Music in the UK for this great BBC use of my music! from 5 Alarm's BRANDED CD!

Experienced, Versatile Composer

"After collaborating with Christy Carew on both narrative and documentary films, I can say that she is a talented film composer with an uncanny understanding of story, whether it is fictional or true. She can take a simple idea about character, story or concept, and turn it into music that lifts the film to a whole new experience."

- Filmmaker Mikiko Sasaki, "January", "8 AM", "Story of A Businesswoman"
