“…the ominous viola-and-reed-driven music score (by Brian Ralston) accompanying Elliott during these early scenes is more like something out of a Hitchcock suspense film…” - Robert Abele (thewrap.com)
“The majority of the film is really built on the soundtrack with long extended shots only gaining meaning from the way the score ebbs and flows underneath. It utilizes a mixture of traditional instruments and sound effects to create an eerie soundscape that gives it its general air of unease and sense of being another world. Composer Brian Ralston has obviously spent a lot of time considering how best to accompany the mundane imagery of the motel to give it the edge where we don’t quite know what’s happening….It is definitely worth checking out though for the visual beauty of its shots, and the extremely effective score.” - Steve Harcourt (nerdspan.com)
“The biggest assets in building the atmosphere come from the cinematographer (Norbert Shieh) and the composer (Brian Ralston).” - Joanna Konczak (asianmoviepulse.com)
“[The Music] is bold and risking being too much all the time, but somehow it defined a space for us, a vocabulary. In the first third of the film, I thought of Japanese cinema in the era of (Teshigahara's) Woman In The Dunes, to be specific. It became a character in the film that wasn't going to leave. It gave the space weight. It filled Elliot's emptiness while emphasizing it at the same time.” - Jacqueline (Jae) Kim (angryasianman.com)
Biography
2021 Hollywood Media in Music Award winner, composer and conductor Brian Ralston has spent the past 22 years creating compelling, heart-pounding, uplifting, and beautifully melodic tracks that delight and inspire audiences. His creative gifts lend themselves to an extremely rich and beautiful sound that can not only be seen, but felt throughout his works.
A graduate of the USC Scoring for Motion Pictures & Television program from the University of Southern California in 2002, his studies and musical background sparked an extraordinary desire to enhance the heart of a film’s narrative with the language of music.
Ralston is best known for his work on the film score for “Crooked Arrows” (20th Century Fox), the first mainstream Hollywood movie about lacrosse, starring Brandon Routh (“Superman Returns”) and Gil Birmingham (“Wind River”, “Hell or High Water”), directed by Steve Rash (“Buddy Holly Story”, “Can‘t Buy Me Love”). The score reflects richly thematic melodies set against the thrill of victory and the pains of defeat in the action-packed sports drama, which has won him much praise within the film community. Of Brian‘s Crooked Arrows score, Daniel Schweiger of Film Music Magazine says, "It‘s this kind of constantly surprising depth and sense of sports adventure that will hopefully let "Crooked Arrows" fly Ralston straight, and deservedly into the big leagues with his terrific score that‘s seemingly shot out of from nowhere."
More recently, Ralston worked on the intimate western inspired score to the dramatic love story “Being Rose”, starring Cybill Shepherd, James Brolin, and Pam Grier which hit theaters nationwide January 2019. A soundtrack on the Notefornote Music label is available. Brian has also recently scored the Chris Chan Lee directed Sci-Fi drama “Silent River” which premiered at the LA Asian Pacific Film Festival in October 2021 and was released theatrically in October 2022. And Brian's 1989 indie love film about connection titled "About Him & Her" starring Callan McAuliffe and Cristina Spruell was released theatrically in the Los Angeles market December 3, 2021 and is available now on Amazon Prime.
Ralston lives with his wife, Heather and daughter, and makes time to give back to future generations of composers by serving as an instructor of "The Business Of Film Music" course for the UCLA Film Scoring program.
