Zitat des Tages von David Newman:
I had no interest or intention of ever writing music. I was a professional violinist in my 20s. I was obsessed with conducting, and I was conducting as much as I could, and I was studying as much as I could. I went to USC; I got an undergrad degree in violin and a master's degree in conducting.
Film music has a great history of composers and performers.
I actually played violin on 'E.T.' I used to be a violinist.
To this day, I adore classical music, and I'm very interested in opera, which I found out later my father was also extremely fond of.
I think there has never ever been a career like John Williams'. That whole 'Jaws' phenomenon - there's nobody that knows how to use music like Spielberg, and John is just the perfect analog to Spielberg.
I'm not very interested in pops concerts. I'm interested in special events.
I want to write theater pieces, opera, or some kind of amalgamation where there is singing, music and theater.
