'music that moves you
hearing it the first time
and rewards you
hearing it the next time''
my vision: the goldilocks zone
The zone around a star where the temperature is just right...
A fitting metaphor for my approach to writing film music:
• create a familiar sound and still be completely original
• know how to take directions and still take initiative
• always respect the deadline and still deliver quality
about me
My love for soundtracks started when I was a kid. The lush and rich music in Star Wars, West Side Story, E.T. and Back To The Future drove me to start composing myself.
Recording a big symphony orchestra surely gets my blood pumping. Nothing can beat a live performance. However, for smaller projects I can still make it work; my virtual orchestra will get any job done.
