unique music telling your story
First and foremost film music should enhance the storytelling and serve the picture. Besides this, it's always fun and exciting to create a unique world of sound for every project I do. Music is about telling a story with sound. I believe good film music should be serviceable, simple, understandable and memorable all at the same time.
