Jimmy LaValle (aka @TheAlbumLeafOfficial) didn't expect to ever become a film composer, but the type of music he was writing pushed him into the realm of screen music.

We talk all about Jimmy's unconventional path to becoming a composer, how The Album Leaf concept started, growing up in the 90's music scene of San Diego, his old days of touring with bands like Sigur Rós, his process for composing scores, and we dive into his approach to scoring Something In The Dirt. We also discuss his continued collaboration with directors Aaron Moorhead and Justin Benson.

Jimmy's unique sound palette and voice as a musical storyteller has gained him an incredible following of fans, and his wonderful insight into his process is nothing short of inspiring.
