In the last decade, I had a short stint as a composer. I’ve always held the likes of Hans Zimmer, John Murphy and the like in high regard as I’ve likewise felt that music makes or breaks a movie – whether we know it or not.

I quickly realized the limitations of the platform but didn’t have the resources to go to truly professional music creation software. The licensees / Terms of Service also changed on me after the fourth ‘album’ (more like groupings of songs). These things combined with the lack of a classically trained singer to go where I wanted to take my music, caused it to slide into the shadows.
So what do I call it? I like the term ‘Atmospheric Meditation’ music, or AM.
