The CD highlights Larson's fantastic body of work from Boys Don't Cry, High Art, Storytelling, and many other groundbreaking independent films and was released as part of Commotion's "Film Music Series."

Former CBS/Sony honcho Walter Yetnikoff and veteran music supervisor Tracy McKnight launched Commotion Records in 2003 to develop, produce and strategically market soundtrack albums for specialty and independent films.

BMI represents more than 500,000 songwriters, composers, and publishers with more than 7.5 million works.
