Lilliana Villines

If you're looking for someone to score a film/short film, or make queue's for a YouTube video essay, skit, advertisement, or any other video content, I am offering my services as a composer.

I am available to work from home and take notes remotely or at in person meetings.
A songwriter and producer, I am passionate about bringing a vision to life. Composing for the visual medium is for me, the ultimate gratification.

I love to blend the textures of real, mic'd and recorded instruments with electronica elements like midi synths and drum programming. I have an affinity for unconventional percussion, field recording, and found sounds as a means of building a soundscape.

I have a home studio and use Ableton to score. My rate is $60/hour or a flat rate of $400, depending on what the timeline of the project looks like, and I am open to negotiation on a case by case basis.

I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California where I started writing songs in middle school. I studied voice and jazz performance at Los Angeles County High School for the Arts and went on to principle in vocal studies and songwriting ay Berklee College of Music. I was awarded the Eunice & Hal David ASCAP Award in 2013 and 2014 for Songwriting & Jazz Voice.

I write and perform my own music as a solo act and in the bands Euphio, and Sink Lines. I also compose for short films and other visual media, including the forthcoming short film Poor Boy A Long Way From Home by Blake Wagner.

My primary passion and focus currently is writing songs and composing instrumental music, both for my own artist discography and for others. I compose queues and scores on Ableton 11 in my home studio and am an avid home recording producer.

The way I compose for people varies from project to project.
I am a fan of collaboration so I enjoy receiving clips, vision boards, and/or spec playlists for inspiration for a queue or scoring project.

Specific ideas such as; which instruments to use, what genres or styles to draw from, what films or TV shows to watch for reference, are encouraged but not mandatory.

After receiving the initial materials, I go through a first draft of scoring and send the work back for review. I implement the notes I receive and edit a second draft. After notes have been addressed and the client is pleased, I have the score mixed and mastered and send in the final version.
