Listen to Soundtracks for Horror Films, a film score by yours truly – Eric’s Music

I've been lax in giving the world the music I've been creating over the last year or two, especially since there has been some stuff I'm proud of that exists in silence, so here is a film score composed by yours truly: Soundtracks for Horror Films: Music Inspired by the Wash.
