I’m generally not listening to other soundtracks when searching for inspiration for my own work, just on the lookout for things that grab my attention, it can be a cool rhythm, a new instrument, even in genres of music I wouldn’t normally choose to listen to. One can often end up in YouTube/Spotify black holes but you find some interesting things along the way. I often start with an artist I like and then just see where the algorithm takes me. YouTube - Related Videos, and Spotify - Related Artists! These two features alone are incredibly useful for finding inspiration. Where do you find your inspiration? Can you share any particular music or artists that influence you? It was from that point I started building the groundwork necessary to being a composer, doing as many projects as I could whether it be library music, commercials, games or films. I then worked and travelled for 3 years, teaching English in Japan before going to the University of Southern California’s film scoring program in 2009. At the time they had a Media and Applied Music course (which has since been amalgamated into the composition program) that I studied on for 4 years. The idea of music as a career wasn’t something I thought about until it was recommended to me by a teacher at school that I apply to music university - the Royal Academy of Music being where I ended up. Can you share your musical journey with us? When did you first start scoring to picture? ![]()
