Cal Scott composes music for film and television. A master of many styles, his specialty is scoring to picture: creating the right music to tell the story. In addition to his dramatic orchestrations, he has developed a feel for folk music of many cultures, helping a film establish a sense of place and time.

He has scored over thirty documentaries and specials for PBS, fifteen films in permanent installations in national parks and museums, and commercials for Kelloggs, Apple, and Sony among others.

He has provided complete sound design and music for ten animated theater trailers and supervised the surround 5.1 theater mix.  These trailers play all over North and South America.

He writes and performs with The Trail Band, an 8 piece folk ensemble, and has co-produced a number of CDs for himself, The Trail Band, and other artists.  He also performs and records with world renown Irish fiddler, Kevin Burke.  Their 2007 CD, Across the Black River, was called “...one of the top twelve notable world music releases of the year,” by the New York Times.
