Ghostlight Records's recording of that the debut album from composer Ryan Scott Oliver, 35MM: A Musical Exhibition (Original Cast Recording), is available for purchase in stores beginning today.

Boasting an entirely original score by Ryan Scott Oliver, inspired by the photography of Matthew Murphy, 35MM: A Musical Exhibition (Original Cast Recording) is born from a collaboration between two emerging talents of different mediums. Oliver explains, "In 35MM, photos inspire songs. Sometimes the songs tell the stories of the photographs; other times the feeling, mood, or tone was captured; and in still others, the photographs are doorways into worlds by which a song comes to life. The collaboration was seamless and we hope it creates a new kind of link between music and image for all who hear it."

35MM features twenty-two original songs, including "On Monday," "The Party Goes With You," "Leave Luanne," "Why, Must We Tell Them Why?" "Cut You A Piece," and "The Ballad Of Sara Berry," performed by a cast of five rising stars, including Alex Brightman (Wicked), Ben Crawford (Shrek), Jay Armstrong Johnson (Hands on a Hard Body, Hair), Lindsay Mendez (Dogfight), and Betsy Wolfe (The Mystery of Edwin Drood, Everyday Rapture).
