Additional Information: The three things that feature in a lot of my non film stuff are humour, indeterminacy, metric modulation, jewish music. My film composition is obviously designed to meet the needs of the film, so I use different techniques and approaches, but to me, there is a certain something that connects all the work I do. I work from my own studio except when I need to record ensembles. There is lots of information and musical examples on my website.
