How'd you write music

you know you can write music
for sitting in front of for piano and.

Your fingers were
run across the case

and usually what happened assists they fall
into certain patterns of my muscle memory.

So the way i riotous acted
up in my room in the morning

and if i dunno what the Tunis.

I do love this i sit on my hands until i
have an idea and i don't let them straight

to the keyboard because i
know what's gonna happen

as is going to be muscle
memory it just going to be.

The thing i did

last week or whatever

so

the bus impossible part
is not to touch the kiva

because it's so tempting to count touched
the keyboard and play a load of crap

and

and

you know they often you
can play a load of crap and

people are really happy with
it but at the end of the day.

And

it

that there has to be a
sense of adventure in

it for me otherwise
you know it gets boring

so there has to be at

a sense of the new and we've
never tried this before and if it means

setting a piano on
fire are you know

going to Africa and.

Going into

you know a township and
brushing with and African choir that.

You know none of us speak
the same language are.

Going to Slovakia and.

Meeting some
extraordinary musicians

so be it.

I think writer's block.

Comes from forms
of many different

places but i think
one of them as

you don't know what you're doing yet you
don't know what the story as you want to

tell all you feel you haven't
done your research yet

i mean

that's one form of right
to block the other one

assist you been working
too much the of burned out

enjoying it any more

but

quite honestly

i never have that because.

I love what i do
and i get excited by it

but.

I cant right and

until i know what what i'm
writing about and that isn't.

That's a little
harder to explain

because weirdly it's not

in the script and
it's not on the screen

at some

weird

strange

version which is
my version of the film

my little bit on the

left-hand side of

the called off the screen that something
going on that nobody pays attention to and

it becomes really
important to me

and that's the story i want to tell
of that's the part i can contribute

so once i know
what i can contribute.

I know what to write about

and up until that moment

i just sit there.

And.

You know total panic like a
deer in front of the headlights.

Budgets

because this is what people are
always want to know about it always think

the the the they always
think that were either

completely rolling
and it and it's just like

gazillion dollars.

Our.

What every film composer tells you
that isn't enough money and of course

none of it is true.

At the end of the day.

I've done some of the most.

Fun things

on

movies were had no budget and.

You know did the most of the.

Boring things were had.

Cause of a bit too much money.

On

a budget but you know

the budget shouldn't affect the creative
process the creative process takes.

A

takes place in your head and.

The

every day it becomes easier

to figure out out a
way of creating things.

As long as the as
long as you have ideas

ideas are not limited by budget
yeah okay if your idea is that it needs

the biggest symphony orchestra

and that's the only way you can do it
it's actually not a budget problem it's a

it's the

you are limited by your imagination
because you can didn't figure out

that you can probably

save the same thing
with for grade class.

Of for not so great players even

but

do.

So

unique you need to you know you

you need to have enough
to make it sound good but

there's always enough to make it sound good
and a funny way i mean budget should not

affect the creativity
budget should know not

really affect the
outcome at the same time

be belt go up to the

telling me you're going to add something
to that movie that they won't get otherwise

and so certain
don't be shy about it

you know

music is important
music is worth something

you know it's not it's.

His a mistake people
make just because we

play music and be like
the process of playing

doesn't mean
we're giving it away

and

and

unique

that needs to be an
appropriate budget to do

to to.

Help fulfill division that is not just your
vision but as the director sufficient so

to

the to have a you have you are
working together on something

and.

Sometimes it's important
to remind the director that

that isn't endless time and
endless budget and endless

amounts of

recording sessions with very expensive August
the us and we might have to resort to a

rubber band on a
cardboard box to get this

one done

but

that one bucks to.

Rather than going for
the most expensive score

that you could possibly
do i was trying to

figure out to show something

where.

A big budget movie

could actually
benefit from using

really modest instrumentation

and

just a bit of quirkiness
and a bit of inventiveness.

Because.

Here's a lot of

what i noticed when
people come in from music

school in the common
in touch with us etc

somehow they have this
idea because they learned

about the orchestra and
they spend a lot of time

at university of music school or the
academy or whatever learning about this

that the first movie that could unleash this
hundred and two piece symphony orchestra

when really but
it's getting to be

if you're going to unleash

some plugin on an iPad

and you've gotta go

bake a great score out of it because
that is the budget that going to give you

and

that's all right

and

and

and what you have
to do as you just

in yourself you just
have to him imagine

how you're going to make that
sound like that hundred and two piece

symphony orchestra

that you thought

music school or the
academy had promised you.

He.

Stopped writing can
look at the end of the day.

Ea cheap piano sound

it's all that

right

eighty eight keys

it's all there you know

and

and at the end of the
day the job is to go and

and figure out the notes
and figure out all these sinks

and then you can
go and put all us

your

simultaneously all
these colors that going on

i mean

i keep.

I keep being in two minds about this
conversation i mean i picture looked

very much sort of on purpose.

For the purposes
of our conversation

because.

It's the score anybody could do

you could do the score

one microphone.

You know on a laptop

you know.

So

and i'm not saying

i'm not saying that to
show off i'm not saying

that in any other
way other than to say.

I don't accept the fact

that you can't.

Write

create a great Hollywood
blockbuster all but however

whatever the score as.

Depending on money or
depending on resources etc

anybody's got access to something
that they can go and make a great scholar.

You know as
opposed to sitting here

me showing you.

The thing that

took a huge symphony
orchestra to do

you know

and and and and a funny way

the the ma.

Money you have
available the less

of a

achievement it becomes to
make an impressive sound

i think the

i think.

You don't need all the west bank
sounds you you don't need the.

Computer you don't need anything
you can composing your head you can

us on the piano you can
compose on anything.

Yeah.

Actually i think it might
have been on Sherlock were.

Anne Marie Simpson was.

Sending me.

Violin tracks that she
recalled it on iPhone

and he sounded great
yeah it's like here's an idea of

and and that the there's a
quality to it and you can either go

oh by god that's not technically correct or
you can go wow that's really into trusting

so just

you know

if you just open
yourself up to the

possibility that that could be really
interesting and that we can manipulated.

It's not a problem it's a

huge advantage

to to work with a

the bare minimum of available

things you know
what you know this is.

A bottom violin one
base been timber alarm

and then you know yes
and then i went crazy and i

went off to Slovakia and
recorded all the tips this

but that's it.

Different thing
you know it it's.

The the resources exist to go

and.

Do great things

about of our engineers who.

Think he worked on this

you know i certainly back to

quite a few other

movies i didn't

chop called stiefel epsom

and

and

he was here the other day and.

Just working with some amazing Austin i
said oh this guy's a real genius and he said

yeah yeah yeah i worked
with a lot of Jeannie

my life and he truly has

is that

they all have one
thing in common.

They roll up their sleeves

they work until they drop they
never go home and then percent are

presented as.

You know

oh

it was easy

you know you're supposed
to make it sound easy

and Sherlock.

It's easy.

If you're if you listened
to the score it's trivial as

trivia it's just like you
know it's simple tunes in it

and and you can't.

Tell

that a lot of work went into it.

You know and i'm
not saying that in a.

Oh dear me i
didn't get any sleep

yeah

oh dear me i didn't
get any sleep that's the

truth but i didn't get
any sleep because.

It was fun it was great it was

you know we will we were at

passionately

and everybody.

Is added passionately

i mean those are the sort of the
situations you want to be involved in

and.

It's your job as a composer
to help to create us.
