beatles danced full home house living main music player record rolling
My house was full of music. My main memories are of the record player at home: it was all Beatles and Rolling Stones, and we danced around the living room; that started me off on instruments, and I've done nothing else ever since.
along composers felt filmmakers great music rather worked
The great composers I worked with along the way, I always felt they were filmmakers more than composers. They would talk about the story rather than the music.
doors world lines
The realisation that, depending on where we changed from one note to the next in a melodic line, the music could subtly influence the entire meaning of a scene in so many ways was like a door opening to this amazing new world for me.
worry details half
I worry about technical details - did I mix the cello half a decibel too high? Things like that.
trying way draws
I like taking my leads from what I see rather than trying to impose. I like that way of looking at things and seeing what's on screen and seeing how I can draw music out of it almost.
editors kind
In the mid-2000s, I kind of accidentally became a music editor.
space albums stuff
I like expansive stuff that has a lot of space in it, like some of the early Pink Floyd albums.
use texture records
I tend to work in layers. There's a huge orchestra in the film, but I also record a lot things with very intimate groups, and I like to be able to use the textures of those intimate groups.
