Kyle Preston writes string-forward, emotionally patient neoclassical and ambient music for film, television, games, and advertising. His work has scored the Apple iPad Award–winning, TIME Magazine Game of the Year Prune, and Annapurna Interactive's Apple Design Award finalist Hindsight, alongside campaigns for Onewheel, Oculus, Eva Green's Typewriter series, the Cool Worlds YouTube channel and Red — A Thousand Suns.

His music has been described as "otherworldly" by the Los Angeles Times and "minimalist in instrumentation but maximal in tension and emotion" by The New Yorker. His ambient works have been featured on KEXP’s Pacific Notions sunday morning show hosted by DJ Alex. He’s based in Seattle, with a background in astronomy and astrophysics that informs a compositional style rooted in scale, patience, and scientific realism.

He also writes organic, nature-based ambient as Harbor Rift, cinematic orchestral music as Rubric, and darkly elegant ambient as The Soft Empire.
