Steve Nolan : Breathe

Irish composer and electronic musician Steve Nolan knows how to build mood and intrigue when it comes to his scores. He combines the dramatic heft with carefully built swells of strings and synth, while layering beautifully haunting piano over top. The result is often emotionally complex with just the right amount of dread to keep […]

Thom Yorke : Confidenza

Thom Yorke has proven himself to be far more than just the singer of Radiohead. Not only is he the singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist in one of the most important rock bands to arrive from the early 90s alternative rock scene, but Yorke has released highly regarded solo albums, collaborations with the likes of Flying Lotus and Four […]

She Comes, We Talk : Wojciech Golczewski’s ‘Tonight She Comes’

So what’s my favorite horror film score to a horror film I’ve yet to see? Well I try to do my best to see the films that I buy scores for, just for posterity’s sake. It just feels like part of the whole process: see the film and enjoy the score. Or if I buy […]

“Truly What This Band Was Meant To Do” : Voyag3R Talks Scoring ‘New York Ninja’

Detroit trio and synth/rock/prog titans Voyag3r have been putting out forward-thinking synth-heavy rock and roll for a few years now. Steve Greene(synthesizers, piano, saxophone), Greg Mastin(drums and percussion), and Aaron Greene(guitars) have built a discography that is both a solid collection of standalone heavy electronic rock albums, but also imagined worlds of both sci-fi, dystopian, […]

The Unseen : The Goatman

The latest release from Tom McDowell’s Library Of The Occult label is a “lost soundtrack” of sorts, this time from the band The Unseen(Klaus Morlock). Locking into a mixture of late 60s psychedelia, Gothic ambient, and just enough of those things that go bump in the night, The Goatman sounds otherworldly and aged like a […]

Steve Moore : VFW Soundtrack

Ever since I heard Steve Moore’s score for The Guest I firmly believe that he is the secret ingredient to a truly great cinematic experience. Moore won me over of course as synth/bass wizard in the horror prog duo Zombi, but when I first saw The Guest and became enamored with that score it felt […]

Premiere : Listen To Dream Division’s “The Power Of Light”; New Album Arrives July 3rd

Tom Mcdowell, aka Dream Division, makes electronic music that sinks into your brain slowly. He works in the world of analog synthesizers and creates sonic worlds that seem to have time traveled from the 70s and early 80s. Taking his cue from darker realms and inspired by the likes of Rizatti, Frizzi, and Carpenter, Dream […]

What’s The Score? Volume II : Jeff Russo and ‘Legion’

I wasn’t that familiar with the Legion comic book series from Marvel when the FX series was announced. In fact I knew nothing about the character David Haller, aka Legion, but after hearing that Noah Hawley was the showrunner I was in no matter what. Hawley is the brains behind the amazing Fargo series and […]

Dream Division : Escape From Planet Sauvage

Dream Division is the kind of analog-slathered electronic project that tickles the fancy of the most ardent sci fi/horror soundtrack aficionado. For fours years now Dream Division has been releasing woozy, hypnotic full lengths and EPs that defy both decade and time/space. One of the premier heavy synth acts to appear out of the ether, […]

Steve Moore : Bliss Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

Steve Moore elicits so much dread and grandeur in the film scores he creates. His work in the independent horror/sci fi/thriller film world can’t really be touched. Along side composers like Wojciech Golczewski, Kreng, Ben Lovett, and Theodore Shapirio to name a few, Moore has the magic touch that can make a low budget film […]
