‘The most important thing is to feel you are writing the best music you possibly can. But it’s nice to be busy (but not too busy), to be valued by your peers, and to be appreciated by your audience too.’
Matias Piegari, composer
One special challenge of film music is understanding that each score is completely different from another. Every director will have a different point of view of what they want, so the process of figuring out what is it that they need will always be different. Filmmakers very rarely speak in musical terms. They communicate with feelings and emotions, so it is my job to figure out how to put those emotions into musical sounds to meet their vision.
