I had a wonderful conversation with writer Sandra Ebejer for the Creative Reverberations and publication, discussing my approach to composing for documentary film and television.
We covered a lot of ground, from my early years learning violin in South London, to how I found my way into composition at Goldsmiths, and the role that technology has always played in my creative process. We also talked in depth about some recent projects, including Tucci in Italy for National Geographic and BBC Studios, and Flight 149: Hostage of War, which had just premiered at SXSW.
One of the themes Sandra was curious about was how I approach heavy subject matter — how do you score a story from inside someone’s head, rather than simply following the action? It’s something I find endlessly fascinating, and we had a great time getting into the detail of it.
