Milan Records is excited to announce the release of the Presence Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, featuring a score by composer Zack Ryan. The soundtrack is now available on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and other digital platforms. Zack Ryan, the composer behind the score for Steven Soderbergh’s Presence, brings a refreshing approach to the supernatural thriller genre. In a film where the camera represents the point of view of a ghost, Zack’s score steers away from typical genre conventions like jump-scare music and instead focuses on the emotional depth of the story—grief, loss, and familial dysfunction. The film is in theaters now.
Zack Ryan comments, “If you’re given the opportunity to work with David Koepp and Steven Soderbergh, you immediately say yes. And if they ask for a traditional, melodic orchestral score for their modern haunted house story, you say yes again. It was an incredible thrill to contribute to a film that takes such a bold swing at reinventing the genre. I’m very excited for audiences to experience it.”
