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!
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.

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! 🦇🎺

Michael, Lolita and I thoroughly enjoyed spending time with the wonderful Randall Larson, chatting about our careers, life, collaboration, mentoring, and supporting one another throughout the years as we collectively and individually pursue our passions. Link in replies

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!
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

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

Happy 33rd Anniversary of the premiere of #BatmanTheAnimatedSeries! (Sep 5, 1992) I was still at the University of North Texas and it was essential watching in my dorm… the concept of having a career in Hollywood was a distant “some day/what if.” 🧵1/4

Big thanks to Randall Larson for including my score to #HowlAtTheDead in his most recent #Soundtrax article. It also has a great feature interview with Freddie Wiedmann about his epic #PrimitiveWar score—link below

#FBF Playfest 2013 in Úbeda 🇪🇸w/Michael & Lolita. We shared the program with dear colleagues including the fabulous Akira Yamaoka (“Silent Hill”), who performed the guitar solos on my “Batman Beyond” suite for the concert. Akira and I met again at the BMI Awards this year!

One of my favorite movies Miyazaki’s #SpiritedAway was released on Jul 20, 2001. While pondering where 24 years have gone by all too quickly, please enjoy Joe Hisaishi‘s beautiful theme “One Summer’s Day"

Memory of working at the DreamWorks Animation 20th anniversary concert w/Zimmer, Gregson-Williams, Powell &the HollywoodBowlOrchestra. My computer generated the beats/clicks for the entire show to play along with the film clips. No clicks…the show stops! But no pressure, right??? 😅 Jul 19, 2014

These photos are from a song recording day with the voice cast of WB’s “Wacky Races”. Voice artists are hysterically funny and gathering a group in a room together is hilarity verging on dangerous! 🤣🤣🤣
