Way back in the day I was a huge film music fan, I started out with Jimmy Horner, I instantly fell in love with his sound, his late 80s, early 90s sound that is... Aliens was the one that converted me. He remains one of my favourite composers though his recent output is no longer of the same quality, I cannot ignore the tears of joy and sadness this man has given me through the form of music. Braveheart is his magnum opus for me. I just cannot imagine my life without having discovered this gem of a soundtrack. Whenever I watch the movie this score moves me beyond explanation.

Other composers that occupy a special place in my heart: John Williams, Jerry Goldsmith, Alan Silvestri, Hans Zimmer, Michael Giacchino and James Newton Howard.

There's no denying the genious of Williams and Goldsmith, they have popularised singlehandedly the world of soundtracks, without them this world be a far worse place. Silvestri's classic action music (Predator, Back to the Future Trilogy, Judge Dredd) remains the stuff of legend to this day. Zimmer wrote his share of powerful soundtracks, among them favourites Gladiator, Crimson Tide, Broken Arrow, Backdraft, The Prince of Egypt and more) that I can just get a kick out off. Giacchino I discovered way back when when he was 'just' scoring videogames, but what scores they are. His introduction in the movie business was logical and totally justified, may he become the inspiration for many more composers of his generation. I like James Newton Howard for the bombastic Waterworld, and for the intimate Snow Falling on Cedars. And many more of course...

Of course there are tons more composers out there that I like, but I don't collect that many scores by them. And I do have a good selection of video game music, that is of very high quality, more and more orchestral game music is coming out these days so that's awesome! I tend to enjoy them even more than current film music, weird eh?

So what do I like beside film music, well I'm just a guy who likes to keep to his own, keeping myself occupied with my films, videogames, and music (not only film-related stuff), hanging out with my brother, going to the movie theater (the real one or the one at home), and working in shifts (morning, afternoon and night shifts). I do like the variety of the different shifts, however the change in employer this past year is not as smooth as I would have hoped. But hey, you can't have everything right. I do not go out much, in fact hardly at all, but I'm trying to lead the life I want, even if that means I don't want to overcomplicate it. Well, maybe there will be some unforeseen change in direction one day that makes me enjoy life more for what it's supposed to be, but now I'm just trying to find my way.

So thanks for your interest and have a good one! Cheers.
