Robert Townson at Varese is a huge fan of film music and has really done a lot to educate audiences about film music and scores.
I think the only thing that I really haven't done much in, and I haven't felt too attracted to, is romantic comedies.
I don't really have a preferred genre. It's more up to the individual project itself and if I feel compelled by it.
There's this whole other element of film scoring, which is the social and psychological side of how you're dealing with people... And that is not always in sync with what's right for the picture.
I have to admit that I really don't care for horror movies all that much. I think mainly just because I'm a cheap scare.
I started out coming from more of a concert music background. It just turns out that 20th-century music techniques lend themselves to scary movies and horror movies.
