William Ryan Fritch - Settled Scores: Music for Film Vol. I (2015)

Settled Scores and Lost Tribe Sound present this stunning collection of film works from the prolific composer and multi-instrumentalist William Ryan Fritch. For the first time, Fritch's most sought after film compositions are made available to the public.

Music for Film Volume I features select works of William Ryan Fritch’s own fiercely self-sufficient, acoustic, and rustic brand of modern classical music from soundtracks, commissions, and multi-media works composed in 2014. Whether it be the humid thicket of cellos for “Skunk” (from the Cannes award winning short film “Skunk”) or the piercing drama and sincerity of “Processional” ( a piece Fritch wrote for his own wedding), this collection seamlessly integrates sounds culled from widely varied visual worlds into an immersive and hypnotic narrative of it’s own. There is a good chance you have heard his work before in a film (smarturl.it/wrfclips), a television show, a commercial, or in a number of GoPro videos (smarturl.it/wrfgopro), but with Settled Scores’ ongoing series you can hear the best of Fritch’s film music presented as satisfying and cohesive stand alone records.

Settled Scores is a small boutique licensing company, founded by Fritch and visual artist/record label owner Ryan Keane (LTS), that specializes in artful, organic, and painstakingly crafted music. Drawing from a select group of gifted contemporary composers, sound artists, producers and recording artists (e.g. Matthew Collings, Field Rotation, Aaron Martin, and Benoit Pioulard), Settled Scores not only offers gorgeous libraries of pre-existing works, but also serves as an integrative hub for commissioning custom works from dozens of unique artists, each with their own distinctive compositional voice.
