The #1 blog for music that fits in film, games, & shows. Curating cinematic sounds, soundtracks, and more.
Misteriseparli make electronic music that feels like it started with a film scene first and the chords second. The duo’s work has always leaned toward mood over genre rules, and Mondo Exotico pushes that even further, treating each of its six tracks like a short, self-contained story. “Big Tail” opens on seagulls and shoreline noise…
A.D.A.M. Music Project build songs the way some studios build game worlds. The collective, led by Adam DeGraide with long-time collaborator Dameon Aranda, writes rock tracks around characters and settings pulled from classic and modern video games. Different singers step in depending on the story. On “They Are Here,” that role belongs to Lacy Saunders,…
OLI is a London-based artist who grew up between New Jersey and the UK. Her music moves between pop and film-score territory, built from piano, strings, and quiet emotion. She’s performed at festivals like Isle of Wight, but this debut album is where her sound fully takes shape. The record opens with soft piano and…
Gianfranco Malorgio has spent decades moving between jazz, film, and classical guitar. Based in Rome, he’s played with figures from the Gypsy Jazz world like Dorado Schmitt and Angelo Debarre, and his background shows in the precision of his writing. Lately, Malorgio has turned toward composition for film, creating pieces meant to live between sound…
Christchurch-based composer and pianist Mark Sutton builds his music around tone, balance, and atmosphere. Odyssey opens with a soft piano figure that sets the scene in a quiet, open space. As strings rise around it, the sound widens and deepens. A low choir moves in slowly, adding weight and dimension without overpowering the piano. Sutton…
Nikita Noebel records under the name Walilamdzi, a project rooted in Berlin but drawn to landscapes that stretch far beyond the city. The music sits in that space between instrumental songwriting and film score: guitar-driven, slow-burning, shaped as much by atmosphere as by melody. Noebel calls each set of songs a “chapter,” small arcs that…
Katy Jarzebowski has spent the last decade scoring everything from documentaries to ballets, and her debut album FEATHERS pulls directly from that experience. Originally written for a pandemic-era ballet, the six tracks now stand alone as a kind of experimental suite—one that blends orchestral tools with sound design tricks and a willingness to let weird…
Waves is post rock that swaps power chords for clean piano and soft electronics. Inuuro are three longtime friends from Stavanger who still play like one mind. A simple piano figure sets the pace, pads lift the ceiling, and the drums keep a steady spine. The mood points upward, hopeful without tipping into sugar. Midway…
