Recently Brian has began to explore the realm of film scoring. The Music listed above are some sample clips of music for ’potential’ film. "2 Minute Film Demo" is a compilation of 6 different styles/moods of music designed to peak the interest of any up-and-coming film directors and animators. Many of the samples can be heard in full in the later tracks.
