  • Great interviews

    As a composer some might think I like sitting around and listening to other composers talk about their process...

Jeremiah Fraites (The Lumineers, The Long Walk, Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere)
Q: What is the difference between writing an original song for a film and writing an original score for a film?

Jeremiah Fraites (The Lumineers, The Long Walk, Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere)
Q: What influence does that landscape have in the score?

Q: How do you decide on the instrumentation and sound when scoring a show?
