If you're like me, you love to listen to soundtrack music while you try to edit something, whether it be a piece of a fan-art or poetry. It helps cancel out your family complaining about whatever stupid thing Donald Trump said or your dog barking at the pug down the street and lets you focus on your work. Here are some amazingly talented soundtrack composers that I love to listen to and will suggest. I'll also have some samples of some of their work after I tell you a little bit about them! I love to share my taste in music with others and I'd love to hears yours as well, if you'd be up to sharing it with me!

1. Ramin Djawadi

Ramin Djawadi is a biracial native-born German who had composed music for a variety of mediums, from films to TV to video games. By far, his most notable work has been on the worldwide HBO sensation, "Game of Thrones," as well as on the hit CBS drama "Person of Interest" that starred some of the cast from acclaimed series "Lost". Djawadi has also worked on several famous action film franchises such as the Japanese-inspired "Pacific Rim" and Marvel’s wildly popular series, "Iron Man".

His style tends to incorporate guitar, electronica with some traditional orchestra instruments like violin, percussion and piano. Depending on the subject, he'll incorporate more vocals or none at all. For example, he's used some vocals to accompany his tracks on "Game of Thrones," but not so much on some of his other major projects. This is most likely because of the fantasy medieval setting of "Game of Thrones".

Here are some of Djawadi’s tracks from “Game of Thrones”: "Main Title," "Winds of Winter" and "Daenerys Targaryen's Theme"

Here’s some from “Person of Interest," "The Samaritan's Theme," "Root's Theme," and "Finale".

Here’s some from “Iron Man," "Driving With The Top Down," "Trinkets to Kill a Prince," and "Fireman".

2. Dario Marianelli

Dario Marianelli was born in the scenic, rolling, wine-producing hills of Tuscany. The vast majority of his work has only been in film, unlike his predecessor on this list, but it has been critically acclaimed nonetheless. Most of said cinematic work has been on dramas-themed films that oftentimes take risks with their themes and subject matter.

Marianelli worked on the infamously controversial "V for Vendetta," the most recent cinema adaptations of the classic literary masterpieces such as "Jane Eyre" and "Anna Karenina," and the highly-acclaimed drama "the Soloist" about a mentally troubled musician living on the streets despite having an ivy-league education.

Given Marianelli's focus on dramas, most of his soundtracks have a more sober, slow tone with a tad bit of slice-of-life feel. He relies mostly on traditional instruments and tends to try to shy away from using electronica in his pieces unlike Djawadi. He tends to include more vocals in his pieces than Djawadi as well.

Here are some samples from the famous movie "the Soloist," "This is my Apartment", "Four Billion Years", and "Nathaniel Breaks Down".

Here’s some from "Jane Eyre," "A Thorough Education," "White Skin Like the Moon," "A Game of Badminton" and also from "Anna Karenina," "Overture," "The Girl and the Birch" and "Unavoidable".

Here are a few pieces from "V for Vendetta," "England Prevails" and "The Dominoes Fall".

3. Dewa Yoshiaki

Dewa Yoshiaki is not only a composer, but also has been a part of a pop band as well. This often reflects in the soft-hearted beats of much of his work on various critically-acclaimed animes such as P.A. Work’s "Nagi no Asukara" (“A lull in the sea” in English) and "Flying Witch". However, Yoshikai's pieces often rely heavily on piano, flute, violin and acoustic guitar as well as some electronica and/or vocals sometimes thrown in on occasion if the scene calls for it. The combination creates a simplistic tone that tugs at the heartstrings in every scene they're in.

Here are some samples from "Nagi no Asukara," "Cry for the Moon," "Soshite ai," "Fonte".

Here are some from "Flying Witch," "Haru no yama," "Kujira, sorawotobu" and "Makoto Kowata".

4. Ingo Frenzel

Ingo Frenzel is a composer who I happened to come across while watching the 2007 holocaust short film "Toyland" with my eighth grade German class in the Southside Works theatre. I remember holding my paraprofessional’s hand the entire time with tears in my eyes. One thing I do remember nine years later is the eerie background music that played throughout the fourteen minutes that set the tone of the movie perfectly.

Here’s the theme to Toyland, "Theme".

Hopefully, his talent will start to make it's way more into the mainstream West.

5. Nathan Barr

Nathan Barr has worked on several wildly popular American dramas such as "True Blood" and "The Americans". He’s also worked with Hans Zimmer on the acclaimed animated film that retells the Biblical story of Moses, "The Prince of Egypt".

Most of his pieces have to have some string instrument.

Samples from "True Blood": "Take Me Home," "Bill's Entrance" and "Eric's Grief / The Bleeds".

Samples from "The Americans" and "Hostel": "It Must be Done," "Mr. Serious American," and "Village".

6. Rachel Portman

Finally, last but definitely not least, is Rachel Portman. It’s difficult to find information on female composers and they tend to not get as much attention as their male counterparts. Born on English soil, Portman has worked on a variety of international films, TV shows and documentaries.

Let me tell you, she has quite the resume, dating back to the 1980s with her earliest work being on TV mini-series and documentaries. She’s worked on well-beloved films such as "Chocolat," "The Duchess," and "Because of Winn-Dixie".

Samples from "Chocolat": "Taste of Chocolate," "Caravan" and "The Story of Grandmere"

Samples from "Because of Winn-Dixie": "Ten Things," "Opal's Theme," and "Tree of Wrongs".

Samples from "The Duchess": "I Think of You All The Time," "Mistake of Your Life" and "Six Years Later"
