As both a cinefile and an audiofile, I naturally gravitate towards film scores as form of escape. From the time I was 9, I collected film scores on CD, and have included some of my favorites on this playlist. As I lay or sit listening to these sublime scores, I don’t even need the television on… I can just watch the film in my head and get lost.
