Cinematic music generally refers to the type of instrumental tracks you’d hear in a Hollywood movie, dramatic TV series, or high-end commercial.

Cinematic music tracks are emotionally potent and designed to make the viewer feel a certain way.

The problem with the majority of cinematic music you’ll find on the internet is that it’s a little too over-the-top for the projects most people work on everyday.

Lens Distortions creates tasteful cinematic scores ideal for the type of projects most indie filmmakers, freelance video producers, and high-end creators work on.

Cinematic music consists of the type of tracks you’d generally hear in a movie, dramatic TV series, or conceptual commercial.
