Soundtrack for Short Films — Cinematic Ambient & Emotional Scores

Vincent Bastille composes cinematic, ambient and emotional soundtracks for short films, indie projects and experimental visuals. His music blends atmospheric textures, minimal piano, trip-hop shadows and liquid drum & bass influences.

Ready-to-use albums for short films

You can start by exploring existing soundtracks and albums, then decide whether to license existing cues or request a custom score.

What kind of films does this music fit?

  • Psychological dramas and intimate character studies.
  • Experimental films exploring time, memory, doubles and perception.
  • Slow-burn thrillers where tension grows under the surface.
  • Arthouse and festival shorts that need an atmospheric signature.
  • Student films looking for a professional, cohesive sound on a reasonable budget.

How to choose the right soundtrack for your short film

A simple method to avoid spending weeks on YouTube or stock libraries:

  1. Define the emotional spine of your film in one or two words: tension, nostalgia, obsession, loss, tenderness, etc.
  2. Decide the role of music: should it lead the scene, support it quietly, or disappear most of the time and come back only at key moments?
  3. List the key scenes where music is essential: opening, turning point, climax, end credits, etc.
  4. Listen to full albums (not only isolated tracks) to feel how a musical universe can support your film from start to finish.
  5. Reach out early if you think a custom theme or specific cue might be needed.

Custom score vs. licensing existing tracks

You can either:

  • License existing tracks from Mystic, Le Lac or other releases.
  • Ask Vincent to compose a custom score (full soundtrack, a few original cues, or a hybrid solution using both).

In both cases, the goal is to keep the process simple, human and transparent.
