My approach to composing for film begins with understanding the director’s vision. Through discussions about the work and references that help establish its direction, I begin developing a sonic world that feels connected to the story. Musical themes, instrumentation, and overall tone can grow from individual characters or larger ideas within the film, giving each its own identity as the narrative unfolds. I use these ideas to guide the score, allowing the music to evolve with the emotions and pacing of each scene. Sometimes the sound takes a more prominent role in shaping a moment, while other times it works subtly beneath the visuals. In either case, my goal is to create a cohesive experience where the music and sound design feel like a natural part of the storytelling.
