The #1 blog for music that fits in film, games, & shows. Curating cinematic sounds, soundtracks, and more.
Rosemary Schultz came to music late and sideways. The Ohio-born, Nashville-based singer served in the military before she ever wrote a song, picking up a guitar afterwards as a way to sort through what was left in her head. Four years on, that private outlet has turned into a small, growing catalog of indie folk…
Karen Salicath Jamali is a Danish-born, US-based composer-pianist with a long trail of serene solo releases and a clear feel for mood. Her work lives where prayer, lullaby, and étude overlap: simple figures, careful voicings, an ear for how a room blooms around a piano. Angel Trio keeps to that lane and sharpens it. “Angel…
Gianfranco Malorgio comes from the Django school. Years of classical guitar study, Hot Club Roma, work with Dario Pinelli, film soundtrack sessions… he’s one of those Italian players who can move from Manouche swing to screen music without dropping tone. Lately he’s been writing pieces aimed straight at sync, especially ones inspired by 70s detective…
Junifer is an alt-pop/folktronica songwriter out of Chico who’s been threading together electronic feel and storytelling since A Little Late. Their thing is small scenes, not big gestures: domestic stuff, late-night thoughts, the way a house sounds when everyone else is asleep. “Thoughts For The Night” fits right into that lane. The song opens on…
Stevie Hawkins has spent decades inside American roots music — drumming for Albert King and John Lee Hooker, fronting his own bands, producing other people’s records, stacking awards. He’s one of those lifer musicians who can move between blues, soul, jazz, and country without sounding like he’s trying on costumes. So when he picks up…
Bite The Boxer is the project of Dorset producer Matt Park, a guy who clearly sits in his studio asking, “How far can I wreck this sound and still have it be music?” Since 2020 he’s been building this dark, half-film-score, half-industrial world, pulling from trip-hop, post rock, neo-classical, IDM, even a bit of punk…
Toronto pianist Eddy Ruyter has spent most of his career supporting other artists, but his solo work shows he doesn’t need a band to tell a story. Waves (Deluxe) is him on piano first, everything else second. It’s a set of pieces written to hold attention, and it works because he treats the instrument like…
Natalie Farrell calls herself The Cosmic Songbird, and it fits. She started in classical voice at the Royal Northern College of Music, moved into writing and spoken work with her book Light the Way, and now folds both into music. Frances Yonge comes from composition and piano, with a background in writing for theatre, dance,…
Kat Koan writes like someone who’s spent years framing emotion for the camera. Before music, she worked in TV, building scenes and mood, and you can hear that in everything she does. Her projects jump between electroclash, rock, and pop, but the core stays the same: tension, release, intimacy, unease. She’s worked with Grammy-winning producer…
James Laurent comes out of Milwaukee by way of Los Angeles, where he splits his time between building high-end sound for other people and chasing his own. He’s 25, already sitting on an RIAA Gold credit, and has engineered for major rappers and TV shows while designing Dolby Atmos rooms for studios. He’s done technical…
