Lost: Music from the Island for Solo Piano is an album of music from Lost rearranged and played on the piano by composer Christopher Ryan.
Background[]
On May 23, 2010, the day that the series finale aired, Christopher Ryan uploaded a video to YouTube featuring twelve minutes of piano music based on the musical score to Lost.[1] Composer Michael Giacchino viewed the video and was impressed by it:
"Chris had created remarkable solo piano arrangements," said Giacchino, "which captured the characters and emotions of all the major themes I had written for the show."[2] Wanting to share Ryan's work with Lost fans, Giacchino contacted Ryan about producing a professional recording.
The two recorded the album together at Warner Brothers Eastwood Scoring Stage.[3]
Reception[]
The album reached number 5 on Billboard's New Age album chart.[4] Damon Lindelof called the album "beautiful," telling his Twitter followers, "GET READY TO CRY!"[5]
