Epic Soundtracks To Inspire

I always listen to music while I work. I find film music especially inspiring because (with film) the final result combines visual art, word (both written plot and spoken), and music. It’s a clash of creativity (and we all know how much I like that). Film & television blow me away. I’d like to share some of my favorite compositions from soundtracks with you here. I listen to a LOT of music and love most of it, but sometimes there is a track that nearly kills me with inspiration. These soundtracks make me feel like I could rip the world apart. They also make me feel like I could blow away with the wind. I hope they make you feel something too…

Catya Maré: New Age Songwriter, Violinist, and Producer

Catya’s story of how she came to fame is a good one. She found herself tired of the classical music world, got sick with the flu, and randomly decided to write her own music. It turns out that all the people who said, “You can’t make a living playing your own music,” were wrong. Since then, Catya Maré has won the Hollywood Music in Media Award, Billboard World Song Contest, been appointed voting member for the 2011 Grammys, and been featured in multiple movies and TV shows. Nonsense Society welcomes Catya Maré into it’s legions of creatives who stand out where others usually blend in.
