Commissioning a Film Score
I don’t really call myself a “film composer”—I’m a “composer”. Period.
However, I very much enjoy writing music for film, and I’m sensitive to the unique demands of writing music to synchronize with and enhance on-screen drama.
As a “composer” (rather than merely a “film composer”), I prefer to work with real life, flesh and blood musicians—even if it means working with a small chamber ensemble to fit within budget.
With a real, live ensemble, you’re capable of getting a much greater range of musical expression and depth of emotion than with the typical “canned” or “sampled” music you hear these days.
If you prefer your music to be played by actual flesh-and-blood musicians, and you feel it would work well for your project, then I invite you to contact me to discuss your project. I’d be more than happy to work with your budget, provided I have the time.
The examples below are from a couple of film projects I did years ago as a student…
