Music for films

Julian Wass first came to prominence with his score for Katie Aselton's The Freebie, which premiered at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival. Subsequent scores include the Rudy-influenced brass score for Mark and Jay Duplass' The Do-Deca-Pentathlon,[2] the marimba inflected Hit and Run, directed by Dax Shepard,[3] and the "gauzy" analog synthesizer score for his wife Jenée LaMarque's feature debut The Pretty One.[4]

Television writing and directing

While working as the composer on the HBO series Room 104, Wass began to write and direct episodes of the series, the first being a musical episode co-written with Mark Duplass and starring Brian Tyree Henry.[5]

Production work

Wass co-produced all three Fol Chen albums, and in 2011, collaborated with bandmate Adam Samuel Goldman to co-produce Los Angeles based singer-songwriter Simone White's fourth album, Silver Silver.[6] That same year, he produced three tracks for the Main Attrakionz mixtape Blackberry Ku$h; Wass would later co-produce, along with .L.W.H., their critically acclaimed album Chandelier in its entirety.[7]

In 2013, Wass collaborated with Lefse Records to release the compilation MITSUDA, a tribute to the Japanese video game music composer Yasunori Mitsuda, which featured beats from Ryan Hemsworth, and Friendzone among others, all based on samples from Mitsuda's soundtracks.[8]
