We first spoke to Jeff Goldsmith in June 2021; it was great to catch up with him today. After taking some time off to focus on scoring films and videos, Jeff made it his mission to release an album in 2024. This Beast is the result. The music is an ambient blend of soundscapes, synth, more traditional instruments, such as piano and magical post-production that turns everyday sounds into something both unrecognizable and familiar. It’s music that’s soothing and challenging. It can set or break a mood depending on your need for the day.
Big thanks to folks who sent us requests and recommendations for scary Halloween songs.
