Through screenwriting I've gained a deep understanding of the structures of stories and it helps to bring my music to life. I approach the music of film much like I tackle a screenplay and a story.
In music I'm intrigued by primitive elements, tradional instruments play a large role in my sound scape. The strong tones of ethnic instruments are too often forgotten in the modren world and they bring a freshness and air into a world of raw and artificial sounds. And there lies the most interesting ground, the combining of the modern and the tradional. That it the world I draw the largest elements into my music. There is so much age old power in ethnic instruments that they bring more kick and depth to familiar sound scapes that I feel it's a shame not to use it.
I feel that the music in a film needs to highlight those things that are essential to the story and strengthen them. I never approach a project with the same palette of thoughts and goals but rather they shape along with the story and how it's told. Every story is it's own and every storyteller brigns his own perspective to it, which is what the composer has to reach.
I always find my own visions for every project, which I'm more than happy to work with, but I feel that the strongest works a born when the storyteller and the composer find the middle ground together, when there's a mixture of thoughts from both. Strong communication and respect between both sides is an important aspect of my composing process. "
