About

The JOSIAH BRYAN studio writes and produces music in a wide variety of genres, including cinematic orchestral pieces, internationally-themed soundtracks, electronic dance music, introspective piano solos, and lighthearted background music. Josiah Bryan has had the opportunity to work with film directors on multiple projects, both from scoring and technical perspectives, and he loves how music and film combine to convey thoughts and emotions. It’s partly because of this love that he licenses music for multimedia purposes on AudioJungle.net under the name “PathFollower,” in addition to directing his own videos on occasion.

We’re located in Columbia, Missouri, in the middle of the state, which is centrally located in the heart of the U.S., making us easy to reach. And if you don’t live close by, we can collaborate from around the world through the internet. Our services include custom music composition and sound design for film production, and we have a growing library of music available for licensing. If one of our tracks is not available on AudioJungle, feel free to contact us to discuss licensing options. And even if you’re not currently working on a project that requires music or sound design (or just a spare hand), we enjoy connecting with directors, composers, music producers, and artists. So whether you have an audio project that you want to collaborate on, a musical talent you’d like to share with us, a similar passion you want to bring to our team, an idea, a suggestion, or a critical ear to help us improve – don’t hesitate to contact Josiah at josiah@josiahbryan.net.

WHO IS JOSIAH BRYAN?

I write and produce epic trailer soundtracks, cinematic hybrid orchestral pieces, and dramatic underscores.  I’ve been playing piano for more than 24 years, including classical, jazz, Latin, and worship styles, and I have been writing and producing music for more than 5 years, publishing two independent albums and licensing my tracks dozens of times.  I played in jazz bands from junior high until graduate school and served for five years as a contemporary worship pianist.  I’ve played at numerous weddings and public events as a soloist, in small ensembles, and in big bands. In college I took classes in jazz improvisation and jazz harmony & arranging. I love soundtracks and combining music with film, and I now compose and produce film-style music, emulating composers such as Hans Zimmer, John Powell, James Horner, Harry Gregson-Williams, and musical styles from around the world..

WHAT SOFTWARE DO YOU USE?

Our studio primarily uses software synthesizers from EastWest/SoundsOnline and Native Instruments, with a variety of sounds from 8Dio, Audio Imperia, Sonokinetic, and elsewhere. Our DAW of choice has been Cakewalk (which is now free!), so we make use of a number of their effects.
