Junkyard (2009)
Silas Hite is an Emmy winning composer and producer living and working in Los Angeles, California. His commercial scores have garnered an Emmy, a Grand Clio, Cyber Gold Lion award from Cannes, a Grand Effie Award and Adweek's Spot of the Year. He has contributed memorable music to some of the top selling video games of the past ten years and contributed music to both blockbuster and independent films. His music can be heard across the proverbially tv dial from popular kids shows to network dramas.

He began his career at Mutato Muzika, Mark Mothersbaugh's music studio, where he served as an in-house composer and musician. After seven years of learning the craft of composing for both mainstream and mutated projects, Silas left to pursue his career as a freelance composer. Now as an in demand composer, producer and songwriter, Silas still creates scores but also carves out time to collaborate with songwriters and bands. He has a large collection of unique instruments and plays many of them on his projects. His studio is packed with drums, guitars, basses, synths, accordions, mandolins, organs and percussion instruments from around the world.
