Isaac Jones is a Lexington, KY–based composer, multi-instrumentalist, music director, and educator whose work sits at the intersection of theater and games. A graduate of the University of Kentucky School of Music, he spent nearly a decade teaching chorus and guitar in Fayette County Public Schools and continues to support local programs as an accompanist and vocal coach. He has music-directed numerous productions across Central Kentucky, returned to the stage as an actor in 2025, and serves as a long-time section leader at Beaumont Presbyterian Church.
​
In the game-dev arena, Isaac is active in the KY Game Developers community—particularly with Louisville Makes Games—where he collaborates on jams and contributes to community events. His video-game-inspired writing was featured onstage in the recently published original play Moon Logic, and he continues to compose for games and multimedia projects.
​​
Isaac specializes in thematic, ambient, and event-driven music shaped by orchestral, world, and video-game influences. With more than a decade of experience leading choirs and orchestras for concerts and musical theater, he brings a storyteller’s ear for pacing, motif, and emotion to interactive media. He produces loopable ambient tracks and adaptive cues in modern DAWs and is expanding his interactive-audio toolkit through ongoing studies in Wwise to build immersive, responsive soundscapes for play and performance alike.
​
Whether supporting musicians and playwrights with custom atmospheres or partnering with tabletop and video-game teams on full scores, Isaac focuses on musical narrative—clear themes, elegant textures, and memorable moments that serve the project first. He welcomes collaborations across theater, games, and multimedia.​
