“That's always attractive to me, to work with music whose form is a big question mark. Even many of my favorite bands growing up, when I was just a kid learning to play drums and guitar and everything, were bands like Pink Floyd, where the arrangement, the number of bars in each section is unconventional and often lopsided, and there will be small little instrumental interludes and that sort of thing. So those odd forms, as well as dark content, are the things that I think are continuous through all the type of projects that I've been attracted to.” ThinkingWellsLittlesPlayBigsKidsFormDarkNumbersGrowing UpGrowingTypeBandProjectsMarkGuitarMy FavoriteBarsOddAttractiveArrangementsSectionsBig QuestionsUnconventionalQuestion MarkFavorite Bands Author:Charlie Clouser

“The bigger problem still is that it determines in many ways what movies get made in the first place. Because as sources of finance are considering a project, they ask themselves, "Does this lend itself to a simplistic marketing approach which will guarantee a big opening weekend?" As a movie-goer, I think that's tragic, because when you look back at those movies that made us fall in love with movies in the first place, most of them were not high-concept, and most of them would not have "won their weekend."” ThinkingWayFirstsLooksDoeMadeStillsProblemBigsFallAsksSourceProjectsApproachConceptsBiggerFalling In LoveMarketingDetermineOpeningFinanceGuaranteesTragicWeekendConsideringBigger Problems Author:Curtis Hanson
