inspiration funny-things film-music
It's a funny thing with the inspiration thing. There's always loads of music around that I absolutely love and films going back to when I started making film music in the mid-80's.
ideas people trying
I'm not very good at sounding like other people. When you're going through your 20's and trying to get a break and that kind of thing, and you're trying to do something that sounds like film music, your idea of what it would be, it never really worked out for me and it's only really when I learned to trust the fact that I could only really sound like me.
people trying stuff
I find that I love so much stuff and respect so many people who work in this industry and music in general. I've kind of learned that I've got to just stick to what I can do and try and do that really.
jobs responsibility lessons
No one's being precious about their music. They want the film to be great. And that was the huge lesson for me along the way to be a filmmaker. And yes, I'm leading the music department kind of thing and that responsibility with the music is with me, but really that job is one of many.
space albums stuff
I like expansive stuff that has a lot of space in it, like some of the early Pink Floyd albums.
editors kind
In the mid-2000s, I kind of accidentally became a music editor.
jobs communication editing
A lot of the music editing job is communication and working out what a director really wants the music to be.
trying way draws
I like taking my leads from what I see rather than trying to impose. I like that way of looking at things and seeing what's on screen and seeing how I can draw music out of it almost.
worry details half
I worry about technical details - did I mix the cello half a decibel too high? Things like that.
guitar perfection renaissance
For me, anything can be music! I can get huge enjoyment and be moved totally by the purity and perfection of some Renaissance polyphony, but equally I can feel emotion in the expectant hum of a big old guitar amp just before the strings are hit.
doors world lines
The realisation that, depending on where we changed from one note to the next in a melodic line, the music could subtly influence the entire meaning of a scene in so many ways was like a door opening to this amazing new world for me.
heart genre euphoria
You can apply the same heart, the same sense of euphoria to any genre.
finals mics
Any take, anything that's recorded while the mic is on, that could be the final take.
lines producers songwriters
The line between producers, songwriters, and remixers is so thin.
