Answers & Questions
How do I define film music ...
“Film music flows with the film. The music asks questions and gives answers. It adds suspense and helps the film move forward. Film music tells the story behind the story. It provides insight into what is happening behind the obvious. It shows the soul of the film and its characters.”
Cooperation director and film composer
"Just a few questions that film music asks for itself: Where does the film's character come from? What moves him? Is he searching for something? From this, a core task of the film composer becomes clear: Understand and internalize the director's vision. A close and good cooperation is therefore of inestimable value.”
Cooperation Editor and film composer
“Each film has its own pace. Another core task of the film composer is the constant exchange with the editor, since timing is just as important in film as it is in music.”
Customer-oriented work
“Film music is part of a larger whole. It's teamwork and mutual support with the goal in mind to create something big.”
