## Questions and answers

### Who is Kateryna Voroniuk?

A Ukrainian music composer and sound designer based in Odesa, holding a master's degree in composition from the A.V. Nezhdanova Odesa National Academy of Music. More than seven years of original music for short films, trailers, advertisements, video games and VR applications, and a Grand Prix from the I. Karabits Competition of Composers in Kyiv.

### Do you work remotely?

Yes — remote is how I work by default. Briefs, reference calls, revisions and final delivery all happen online, so where the project is based makes no difference to the workflow.

### Are you available for clients in Europe?

Yes. I take commissions from anywhere in Europe and worldwide. Working from Odesa, Ukraine (EET, UTC+2/+3) means my day overlaps the full working hours of Berlin, Warsaw, Paris, Stockholm and London.

### What kind of music do you write?

Ambient, cinematic, minimalist, epic, modern folk, mystical and contemporary — plus electronic and chamber writing. In practice that ranges from a solo piano cue to a full orchestral trailer bed, and from tense sci-fi textures to Ukrainian folk arrangement.

### What do you need to start a project?

A brief and a deadline, plus whatever picture exists — a rough cut, animatic or gameplay capture — and any reference tracks or mood notes. Delivery specs (format, sample rate, stems) are useful up front but can follow.

### What do you deliver, and in what formats?

Final mixes and stems as WAV or AIFF at your session's sample rate, adaptive loops and layers for games and VR, MIDI where a session is needed, and orchestral scores and parts as PDF.

### How long does a score take?

It depends on length, instrumentation and how many revision rounds the picture needs. Put the deadline in the brief and you'll get a straight answer about whether it's workable before anything is committed.

### How are credits and rights handled?

Agreed per project, in writing, before work starts — scope, usage, territory and credit line all settled up front rather than after delivery.

### Which languages do you work in?

English, Ukrainian and Russian.

### Which tools do you use?

Studio One as the DAW, Sibelius and Finale for notation, and Kontakt, Spitfire Audio, EastWest, Vienna Symphonic Library, Output, Heavyocity and Soundiron Aeon for sample libraries, with iZotope and IK Multimedia for processing.
