Hi, my name is Karim Elmahmoudi, I am a Los Angeles based composer, orchestrator, arranger and musician. I have worked on music for Spiderman, Star Wars video games for Lucasarts and Disney, Disneyland Kinnect, and many indie titles, including Pyschonauts 2, Grim Fandango, Broken Age 1 and 2, Return to Monkey Island, and much else.
I was one of a handful of composers selected in November 2015 as an American Prize in Composition Special Citation Recipient celebrating the variety and vitality of American Composers of Works for Orchestra. My specialty is in orchestral music but I work in all genres. I also play the bass trombone and have played in symphony orchestras for years.
My music also accompanied the Space Shuttle Endeavour exhibit at the California Science Center for four years where it was heard by about four million visitors!
My hobbies include cooking, reading, biking, yoga, writing and am a Coast Guard Auxiliary certified skipper, a licensed private pilot, and avid astrophotographer.

Welcome to the community, Karim Elmahmoudi. Impressive bio! Music is huge in games, just like in movies and TV.
Here's a great blog that'll help you navigate Stage 32 for your best experience (www.stage32.com/blog/navigating-stage-32-for-your-best-experience-3095).
And I suggest adding a profile picture. People will feel more comfortable networking and collaborating with you if they know what you look like. And if you have a picture, your profile will show up when someone searches for you.
