“One of the earliest memories I have of feeling the power of film music was watching Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. That was a really clear epiphany for me, when I realized that each film has its own music, and that there was someone out there who wrote this very specific music for just this one film.” FeelingsFilmMemoriesClearI RealizedChocolateFactoriesEpiphanyFilm Music Author:Geoff Zanelli
“I prefer live musicians whenever possible. And I tailor the ensemble to what is appropriate for the film and the score I'm writing.” WritingFilmMusicianScoreAppropriateEnsembleTailors Author:Geoff Zanelli
“I'm also always thinking about the score as a recording, as opposed to a performance that can be recreated in a live environment. Some of what I write could of course be played in a concert hall, but for the needs of a film I don't consider that.” ThinkingNeedsWritingFilmCoursesEnvironmentPerformancesScoreHallsConcertsAlways Thinking Author:Geoff Zanelli
