Story-driven music for indie filmmakers.
Built by an award-winning indie filmmaker and composer who has been on both sides of the problem — in the edit bay and in the composition session.
The tempo at which people process, confess, and change.
Establishing shots. Transitions. The moment after something lands. The decision settling. The grief arriving.
Every track composed with a scene function in mind.
You are not looking for "jazz, mid-tempo."
You are looking for the music that opens this world, or holds this moment, or lets this truth land without rushing past it.
That is not how most libraries are organized. So we built this one differently.
Music organized by scene function.
Music that opens a world. Sets the time, the place, the texture of where we are. Quietly defines what kind of story we are about to enter.
Music that carries us between moments without hurrying the audience. Lets one beat finish settling before the next arrives.
The moment after something lands. The decision settling. The grief arriving. Music that lets the audience feel what just happened.
Music for the moment a character finally says the thing. Quiet enough to disappear. Specific enough to hold the room.
Music for change. The character decides. The world shifts. The story is no longer what it was a minute ago.
Music that earns the credits roll. Releases what the film has been holding. Sends the audience back into their lives changed.
A few examples of what music with intent sounds like.
Three pieces, three different scene functions. Each composed with a moment in mind.
Less is more. Unhurried.
Composed for a feature in development. This clip shows the exodus of Sephardic Jews crossing the border from Spain into Portugal in August 1492. This is evocative music that breathes.
The Bus — Quit Laughing God.
In the award-winning film, Quit Laughing God, Chris is talking about her adventures taking an old rickety bus across rural China. The music was purposefully written to capture the spirit of China while sounding old, unrefined, and a bit off-kilter (to represent the bumpiness of the ride).
Argos.
A fun, surprise music video gift I made for my son to enjoy while walking his dog, Argos. It gives a different flavor of the range of music Michael writes.
