Ray had the privilege to compose the orchestral score for the documentary:
The Stones are Speaking
The Stones Are Speaking tells the amazing story of how a long-looted piece of land in Texas turned out to be one of the most significant archaeological sites in the Western Hemisphere. Archaeologist Mike Collins and his team discovered evidence of people living in Central Texas up to 20,000 years ago - thousands of years before many scientists thought humans first ventured into the New World. That makes this place, now known as The Gault Archaeological Site, located 45 miles northwest of Austin, a game changer in the long and fierce debate about when and how people lived in the Americas during the last ice age. It challenges a theory that the first people, dubbed the Clovis culture, arrived only 13,500 years ago. Collins and his team found stone tools that were Older than Clovis by thousands of years, the largest collection of Clovis artifacts ever found in one location, and an array of intriguing, incised stones that may be some of the earliest Art in the Americas.
The Stones are Speaking is written and directed by the talented Olive Talley.

Ray Sharp is a film composer and music director whose work has been heard in theaters across the United States and on screens worldwide. Known for emotionally resonant themes and modern orchestral scale, he writes music that deepens story and expands cinematic atmosphere.
His recent feature Matter of Time, starring Sean Astin, marks Sharp’s continued ascent in long-form storytelling, following his award-winning score for The Stones Are Speaking, which earned Best Music at the Archaeological Channel International Film Festival.
Sharp has recorded with the renowned FAMES Studio Orchestra in Macedonia and composed for films, television, national campaigns, and immersive media. His music balances melodic clarity with textural sophistication — supporting directors with scores that are both narratively intuitive and sonically distinctive.
In parallel with his scoring career, Sharp serves as Music Director and principal pianist for Four Day Weekend, one of America’s longest-running improv comedy companies. Years of live performance have refined his instinct for emotional timing, collaboration, and audience psychology — strengths that translate directly into his film work.
A composer since adolescence, Sharp’s early orchestral writing quickly evolved into an international career spanning multiple genres and formats. Today, he is focused on feature films and cinematic storytelling, partnering with filmmakers to shape the emotional architecture of their projects.
Ray is currently booking scoring projects for 2026.
Ray believes music is at its most powerful when it transforms emotion in real time.
Early in his career, he was asked to play piano for a funeral honoring a man known for his humor. Sensing what words could not express, Ray gently wove “Jingle Bells” into the closing moments — a tribute to the man’s favorite prank. The response was immediate: laughter through tears.
It remains a defining reminder that the right music, at the right moment, can help people heal, connect, and feel seen.
This instinct continues to guide Ray’s approach to film scoring today.
