When you combine moving images with music the storytelling potential is massive. When your visual media project (film, TV, documentary, promotional, game, etc.) has a well-crafted, thoughtfully-placed score that is aligned to the heart and arc of your story, matched to its mood and aesthetic, and formed out of a trusting relationship defined by integrity and clear communication, the results can be remarkable.

 

Results like these are my goal as a film composer. And to accomplish that goal, I believe three points of focus must be present. Just as a three-legged stool's stability depends on the integrity of its three legs, so a film score will fail to meet its potential if any of these elements are weak or absent.
