Larkin's most notable work, the Hollow Knight soundtrack, is characterized as conveying "dark elegance and melancholy." The soundtrack is largely orchestral and employs recurring leitmotifs throughout different tracks, each often corresponding to a location or character. He draws inspiration from classical composers such as Debussy as well as visual-media composers such as James Newton, Joe Hisaishi and Koji Kondo. In his music, Larkin integrates elements of his classical training with a diverse range of musical styles. He often collaborates with visual artists including Ari Gibson of Team Cherry with whom he has collaborated prior to the hit indie title Hollow Knight. He now works as a professional composer and sound designer for visual media such as Film, TV and Video games. Larkin began composing music at a young age, and collaborated with filmmaking students while he attended Elder Conservatory for music. Larkin studied composition at Brighton Secondary School, then at the Elder Conservatorium of Music in Adelaide. Some of his other works include Pac-Man 256, Outfolded, TOHU, and Hacknet. Christopher Larkin is a composer for video games, film, and television, best known for his work on Hollow Knight and the upcoming sequel Hollow Knight: Silksong.
