about

All of the songs on this album were created for various film projects I've worked on over the last 15 years.

All are available for commercial license via www.farmthegarden.com

The production quality from song to song might vary, as I recorded some of these in my old bedroom 'studio' long, long ago. Each of these songs were chosen for this album, though, because they hold a significant emotional meaning for me. Working in commercial music for my day job, I can get pretty locked into short-form composing, and a 15 second track just can't travel the same places that a longer track can. Also, narrative and documentary films allow music to integrate into a deeper level of detail - I find film scoring to be so much more subtle and nuanced than short-form commercial music. Then again, the song Anticipate was composed for a Boys and Girls Club commercial, so who am I to put constraints on this stuff! :)

Anyway - hope you enjoy the album. Please email me at sam@sambillen.com with any questions.
