When you're artistic director of a program, you present the music you want to present.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A lot of the music editing job is communication and working out what a director really wants the music to be.
Music runs through everything I do - I even think musically; even when I was acting, but, especially, when I am directing. Directing is very musical.
I write music visually.
As an artist, program directors always want to put you in a little box.
I always have music playing in my studio when I design. It really gets me in the mood and allows me to focus.
You make your music, then you try to find whatever audience is out there for it.
You program music with an image and then people are desensitized.
I don't use composers. I research music the way I research the photographs or the facts in my scripts.
The director's job should give you a sense of music without drawing attention to itself.
One of the major aspects of film composing is that it's not so much a musical thing as it is communicating your ideas with the director, who often does not come from a musical background.
