Zitat des Tages über Filmmusik / Film Music:
I'm pretty proud of my film music in general.
Film music has a great history of composers and performers.
Fear is a problem with film music and films; people want to be conventional, and there's more commercialism today. If you are not daring in your art, you're bankrupt.
When you're working on film music, you're only working on 20, 30-minute sections at a time.
Film music should have the same relationship to the film drama that somebody's piano playing in my living room has on the book I am reading.
I'm not afraid of being thought of as someone who is associated with film music. Why not? If it's a good song, what does it matter?
I don't believe in an annual dose of film music for the sake of it being film music. If we program film music, it will be because there is a real artistic reason for doing so.
Does film music really matter to the average moviegoer? A great score, after all, can't save a bad film, and a bad score - so it's said - can't sink a good one.
Although I enjoyed writing Film Music it was always a means to an end, in that it enabled me to keep a wife and family and write my classical music, which has always been my passion.
I've always listened to a lot of film music, actually.
I actually write film music because I'm classically trained on the piano so as well as songwriting I also write actual film music that could be used for movies like war movies and love movies.
So film music is something I absolutely wanna get involved in.
When I visited Africa to make my film 'Music by Prudence,' I was struck by how intensely religious and socially conservative Africans were. There was literally a church on every corner.
I want to do television, film, music and designing. I want to do it all!
With film music, endings are often more difficult than beginnings, because a beginning is an underline, a way of exciting a moment, and then you have to find a way to dissipate that.
I always said when I was younger, I wanted to write film music, and I think that's what my ultimate dream is.
I don't listen to Bollywood music much. But yes, I listen to Indian music quite often, and other non- film music.
