Paul Baraka

Welcome to the realm of sound
Welcome to the realm of sound, where music is not just heard—it is felt, lived, and channelled from something far greater than ourselves. I am Paul Baraka, composer, sound designer, and vessel of a gift that has guided my journey.
The name Baraka means blessing, and I do not take it lightly. It is a mark of purpose, a divine calling that has shaped my path and allowed me to turn silence into resonance, vibrations into meaning. This gift is why I create—not just to entertain, but to reveal, to transport, to awaken something deeper in the soul.
But creation is also about exploration. Just as sound itself evolves, so too do the tools we use to shape it. AI has been given a bad reputation, but I see it as a partner—an extension of the creative process, a way to push beyond limitations and refine the raw inspiration I receive. It does not replace the artist; it serves the artist, helping me polish, complete, and manifest ideas that might otherwise remain unfinished.
I do not merely compose—I sculpt sonic landscapes that transcend time and space, bridging the natural and the technological, the known and the unknown. Whether through film, games, or pure composition, my work is an act of creation, infused with mystery, wonder, and the unexpected.
This is my purpose. This is my covenant with the gift I have been given—to craft music that stirs the soul, unlocks hidden doors, and brings light to places long forgotten.
Join me on this journey where sound becomes revelation, where rhythm carries meaning, and where music is a bridge between the seen and the unseen. Let us uncover the mysteries that have always been there, waiting for those who dare to listen.

Lost Civilisations
Music Video
Lost Civilization" is a captivating journey into the mysteries of ancient worlds, blending historical insight with stunning visual storytelling. Having surpassed 900,000 views, this video, with all music and visuals created by Paul Baraka, delves into forgotten cultures, ancient technologies, and the secrets they left behind, offering a thought-provoking exploration of human history through an imaginative and immersive lens.
Sedna, Empress of The Sea
Musical Animated Feature Film
Role: Composer, Sound Design, Editing, SFX and VFX.
A powerful reimagining of the legendary tale, Sedna, Empress of the Sea is a deeply symbolic musical that intertwines myth, history, and heartfelt storytelling. Created in collaboration with Jerry Thevenet and JerryCo Animations, this film brings the Inuit legend of Sedna to life through a moving lens—told by Jerry’s grandmother as she shares her stories with him.
More than just a retelling, Sedna explores profound themes, drawing unexpected yet meaningful connections to the experiences of residential school survivors. Through my work in composition, sound design, and visual effects, I sought to infuse every note and sonic detail with layers of symbolism—where music and sound become an emotional guide, amplifying the echoes of loss, resilience, and the enduring power of storytelling.
This is not just a musical—it is a bridge between past and present, myth and reality, weaving history and legend into an experience that resonates deeply with the heart and spirit.https://www.sednafilm.com/

BEST ORIGINAL MUSIC
The Dreamcatcher won "Best Original Music" Paul Baraka is a musical and sound genius. His work on the Dreamcatchers soundtrack has earned him widespread acclaim, and it's easy to see why. Paul's music is the perfect complement to the show, enhancing the mood and setting the scene for each episode. It's clear that Paul puts a lot of thought and passion into his work, and it really shows. The Dreamcatchers soundtrack is truly one of a kind, and Paul Baraka is rightfully the mastermind behind it all.
Excerpts of my work on The Dreamcatchers
Music is a powerful tool that can convey emotion, whether it be joy or sadness. I used this concept in my score for the animated series "The Dreamcatchers."
There are many ways you could go about scoring an episode of any given show, but when working on these types of projects, oftentimes there isn't much direction as to what should sound like, so they let our imagination run wild with ideas - which makes things exciting!
Except of DC EP15
In this episode, I had to compose music that changes styles from rock and roll (in the style of) and Polka. The timing was really tight; there are already animations locked so you can't slip up! Also did all the sound design and mix
Rise Of the Hero
When the battle is almost over and you think you are losing your power the hero within you will rise.
Epic track composed and produced by Paul Baraka.
About
PAUL BARAKA

(COMPOSER | SOUND DESIGNER | VISUAL ARTIST)
I was drawn to compose and perform music some 25 years ago. Sound effects and mixing were added to the repertoire along the way, as was voice coaching for animation work that included the musical composition of over 150 original songs in multiple languages.

I have more than 300 projects under my belt, and new challenges beckon me still. My passion is driven by forces that defy description and explanation. I have often said that music is like math; you don’t create it, you discover it.

I am dyslexic. Yet, I pore over scientific and historical materials that feed my hunger for knowledge. Musical notation is foreign to me. Yet, I mastered the piano as a teenager, and I create music that will stir your soul. I’ve heard all the labels: show-off, weirdo, genius. Several years ago, I was mentored by a musicologist from the Sorbonne in Paris. He encouraged me to defy convention and to make my own way. I haven’t looked back.

I have composed music for television, documentary films, advertising, performers, live shows and more. I have been nominated for many awards.
These awards are for my work in music, sound design and even visual design. I have been working in the music and sound industry for over 25 years and have gained a lot of experience and knowledge in that time. I am very passionate about what I do, and I believe that this comes through in my work. I am always striving to create the best possible audio experiences for my clients and their audiences. I am very proud of the awards that I have won, and I believe they are a testament to the high quality of my work. I look forward to continuing to make great music and sound design in the future!

I am a proud geek. I keep abreast of audio and visual technologies, and I have been known to influence their design. As much as they may inform my art, they exist to serve it, not to define it. “Gesamtkunstwerk” is the German word for “total work of art.” This is what I embrace in almost every project I take on.

My world is one where ideas become reality via teamwork and via the gifts that I am privileged to have. These gifts and the creation they bring forth may be unstructured and unbounded, but a deadline is a deadline. I am there for you at every turn. I look forward to hearing from you.
