Scoring 'Rain': a contemporary British composer's perspective

journal contribution

My interest in scoring films is a typical composer's perspective: i.e. I am not so interested in the craft of synchronicity and direct mimesis between music and picture, rather I'm interested in the effect of counterpoint and simultaneous unfolding of events in the two media - creating a new poetic form in their combination. I think what I do is indeed 'scoring' a film as opposed to making a soundtrack. Perhaps that sounds old-fashioned, but I think in the modern interest in creating live music to both archive and contemporary silent films there is a really profound interrogation of the value and function (both in social and artistic terms) of the music to picture relationship.
