(July 10, 2012) – Award-winning composer Bill Brown (CSI: NY, The Devil’s Tomb, Captain America: Super Soldier) releases his hauntingly beautiful score for the independent drama feature Brother’s Keeper, starring Travis Tritt (My Cousin Vinny), Alex Miller (Desperate Housewives), Graham Miller (Ghost Whisperer), MacKenzie Mauzy (Bones), Robyn Lively (Nip/Tuck), Daniel Samonas (Entourage), Noel Coet (Cowgirls n' Angels), W. Earl Brown (Vanilla Sky) and Michael Rooker (The Replacement Killers) on all digital platforms (including iTunes, Amazon and Spotify) on July 10, 2012.

Set in the 1950's in the south, Brother’s Keeper is about two brothers and their journey together, and about how the courage to forgive can transform lives. In a cruel twist of fate-orchestrated by the town's most powerful family, their lives are forever altered. It encompasses the unbreakable bond between brothers as they battle for justice, freedom and retribution. The composer said, ”Brother's Keeper is just an incredible musical opportunity. The direction, sets, costumes, cinematography, editing, acting and more have all combined to create something honest and poetic.”

Bill Brown’s enthusiasm clearly shows in the musical score for the film, which is written for orchestra with elements of subtle electronic sound design and solo instruments such as cello, performed by the acclaimed Tina Guo who contributed stylistic elements to the score underlining the film’s setting. ”We were able to create a classic ’old west’ vibe in a contemporary musical setting using glissando cello lines which mimicked that raw ’fiddle’ sound you've heard in westerns so many times, but with a darker, bigger emotion to them,” said Bill Brown.

Directors Josh Mills and TJ Amato commented: ”Brother's Keeper was an emotional journey for our team at Desert Wind. We needed a beautiful score that could capture the essence of the story, using it as an emotional catalyst, stimulating each scene to it's fullest potential. If you can close your eyes, losing the visual stimulation but still experience the story through the music, you know you've got a winning composition. We were very fortunate to have worked with Bill Brown”.
