Hi! I’m Kristopher & I compose music. You most likely would know my work for WB animated superheroes but I am passionate about creating music to tell all kinds of stories. I’m also a pilot, a DJ, & spend way too much time thinking how to improve my coffee brewing. Please say hi–so nice to meet you!

I’m honored to contribute to this series joining Jeff Cardoni, Jojo Draven and the metal hand-washing madness of Mark Smythe in addition to 7 mini-gems by Helix co-founder Phil Popham. My piece for DJ decks and chamber ensemble premiered 5 years ago today on Oct. 27, 2020. (2/3)

Exactly how long is 20 sec to wash your hands? The fabulous musicians of the @helixcollective.bsky.social brilliantly answered this question in 2020 with a series of 20-second-long pieces to listen to while following the anti-covid health guidelines.

My solution: transform the piece into 7/4 (which has an even number of sub beats) and emphasize the regular strong kick drum beats while the syncopated melody floats over the top. The listener doesn’t even realize they are dancing to music not in the typical 4 beats per bar! 4/5

Hans’ original theme is in 7/8 meter, which creates a jumping, syncopated rhythm with an odd number of sub beats. The challenge of arranging this piece in a dance music style was presenting his theme in a way that features a steady, regular pulse expected in the genre 3/5

Happy #WonderWoman Day! (read more info about the music below👇) On Oct 21, 1941, Diana made her comic debut in All Star Comics no. 8, created by writer William Moulton Marston and artist Harry G. Peter. The music in this video is my EDM remix of #IsSheWithYou 🧵1/5

Memories of “Return of the Caped Crusaders” (an animated version of the classic ‘66 Batman TV show w/Adam West, Burt Ward & Julie Newmar providing voices!) in 2016. Lolita, Mike & I recorded the Neil Hefti-inspired score at the legendary Capitol Records with a killer band of LA’s finest! 🦇🎺

25 years!!?! Thanks so much James Harvey for sharing the soundtrack release anniversary of my first big solo feature credit in LA. Grateful to Bruce Timm, Paul Dini & all at WBAnimation, Lolita, Mike & Larry for orchestration, all the talented musicians, and Rhino Records for releasing the CD!

James Harvey @ The World's Finest @worldsfinest.bsky.social · 11d

The "Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker" soundtrack was released on this day (Oct. 17) in 2000. Released by Rhino Records, Kristopher Carter's blending of orchestral tunes and techno beats created one of the best (and coolest) Batman animated movie scores to date! #BatmanBeyond #Batman #Soundtrack

This was my first job on BTAS! Shirley asked me to orchestrate the full score from her composer sketches as my audition to later write music for the show. She composed the most perfect demented sitcom theme for Baby-Doll 🤩 & tragic emotional finale. Thanks @worldsfinest.bsky.social for the post 🙏

How does coffee fit into being a film composer? For Coffee Day 2025, I’m sharing the answer with my video for Spitfire Audio’s Composer Day. Cheers! ☕️🤩 #FilmComposer #Composer #Coffee #CoffeeDay

Throwback—Every two years, the FAA requires a review to demonstrate I can fly the plane safely…and return it to the ground in no more than one piece 😂 Happy biennial flight review to my pilot friends also due for their BFR! Photos from Sep 28, 2021

I recorded the piano in my home studio in Los Angeles and collaborated over the internet with the fabulous musicians of the FAMES orchestra, located in Skopje, Macedonia, and conducted by Maestro Oleg Kondratenko for the remainder of the orchestra parts. 3/5

Initially composed during the 2020 pandemic and recorded remotely to capture the isolation many felt during the lockdowns, this movement illustrates pondering the inevitable changes ahead and the uncertainty they may bring. 2/5

It’s the time of year when a noticeable chill sets in the air, the leaves change colors and the Earth prepares for Winter. I'd like to invite you to listen to "Autumn Ruminations," the first movement of my Four Episodes for Piano and Orchestra based on the Four Seasons. 🧵1/5

Warner Bros. used to have retail stores, and among the WB swag they had framed animation cels. By chance I found a cel from “Catwalk,” the first episode of BTAS I scored completely on my own. 3/4

I had no idea in less than 2 years I would arrive here in LA to begin my career and even less idea whether or not the move would be permanent! It all has to start with a dream—don’t be afraid to chase that dream and make it an intention! 2/4
