Dramatic underscoring is meant to be an invisible process – felt but not seen. It is the essence of what a film composer does. I used to compare it to taking a highlighter pen through a film bringing certain scenes an emotional undercurrent – drawing attention to a subtext. Here’s a collection of soundtracks already recorded, legally pre-cleared and ready to license in seconds. We hope you find many a great use for these whether it be your indie film, a YouTube video, an ironic spoof at your next birthday party or a campaign ad!
