I have not thought of pairing with somebody for music direction and will continue composing music by myself.

Ankit Tiwari

Composing for concert performance is a somewhat lonely occupation, but composing a film score is highly collaborative.

William P. Perry

I could create music that sounded as strange as any electronic music, because you see, my opinion about electronic music is that the real composer is the guy who invented the instrument. Pressing buttons is not composing. Composing is about creating something.

Glenn Branca

From an outsider's perspective, it's amazing what [Clint Eastwood] does. If he's not directing a film, he's acting in it, or rather he's composing the music for that film. His commitment to what he does is astounding for all of us to witness. It's inspiring, actually.

Leonardo DiCaprio

I would love to compose more fantasy music, whether it's for a film or a game. That genre has so much opportunity for harmonic experimentation, not to mention all the interesting instruments that become available when composing music for alien species and other worlds.

Jason Graves

I am songwriter. I do compose the music of songs that I write in Bengali. But I've never thought of composing for a film. That's a different art altogether.

Arijit Singh

When I composed the first sonic meditation, I realized that I was composing the direction of attention.

Pauline Oliveros

All of a sudden it hit me - if there was such a thing as composing music, there could be such a thing as composing motion. After all, there are melodic figures, why can't there be figures of motion?

Len Lye

I don't believe in an annual dose of film music for the sake of it being film music. If we program film music, it will be because there is a real artistic reason for doing so.

Esa-Pekka Salonen

I was really into the music of Cream after I finished composing the music for 'BTTB.'

Ryuichi Sakamoto

One of the earliest memories I have of feeling the power of film music was watching Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. That was a really clear epiphany for me, when I realized that each film has its own music, and that there was someone out there who wrote this very specific music for just this one film.

Geoff Zanelli

I consider composing music to the sequel of 'Ladies Tailor' which had music by Ilayaraaja as my biggest blessing.

Mani Sharma

There's a thing about film composing and conducting in my family.

David Newman

My best film composing experience was with Elia Kazan.

Alex North

Music is going to go in some direction that is entirely inconceivable now. If someone had been asked twenty years ago what direction they thought music was going in, they wouldn't have said sampling.
