2m1 Records is very pleased to announce the score of Nickel Children by Rich Ragsdale, which is a post-rock inspired record that mixes dark and orchestral ambience with beautiful melodic cues.  Originally released in 2005, Nickel Children focuses on a poignant theme of runaways resorting to child prostitution in order to survive.  Because the viewer struggles to watch the harsh realities of forced adulthood conflict with retaining innocence and humanity, Rich defines this struggle through variable guitar and piano motifs.  Combining these melodies while adding a lushly dark and foreboding soundscape takes the listener on an emotional roller coaster that is the defining experience of each character in the film.  Recorded, performed, and composed by Rich in a small and tiny studio gave him the ability to fine-tune and tweak every element of the performance.  As a result, Nickel Children is a fantastic example of his perfectionism and his eclectic talent of composing in an entirely different genre than the standard classical style.  Produced in conjunction with Andrew P. Alderete and KNR Productions, 2m1 Records is very excited to release this album.
