31 year old film music enthusiast from Denmark. Currently I'm doing a Ph.D. on Norse Greenland after finishing my studies in Medieval Archaeology in 2005.

I've been listening to film music since 1989, where I bought my first score: Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Generally, I'm one of the many who have to credit the great John Williams for getting me into film music in the first place. Even before 1989, I tried to get a hold of the Indiana Jones-scores to no avail. From 1989 I had yet to wait 8 years before I finally got my hands on Williams' score from Raiders of the Lost Ark which to this day I still consider to be the finest film score ever composed.

Up through the 1990's, I listened primarily to Williams, Horner, Zimmer, Goldsmith and Shore, but after the rise of the almighty internet, my tastes have broadened. Not the least due to my joining the board of the now late Scorereviews. During my time there, my taste in and knowledge of film music greatly expanded - a fact which is to be credited to the many enlightening discussions on Scorereviews, and which are now continuing here on Maintitles. I'm particularly endebted to the posts of Martijn, Alan (FalkirkBairn), Demetris and Tom as well as other Scorereviews usual suspects such as Steven, Bregt, Erik, Nightfall - and many others.

Today I still enjoy Williams and Horner, but I only seriously got into Goldsmith while on Scorereviews, and the same goes for Shore, Goldenthal as well as newer composers such as Beltrami and Giacchino. Scorereviews also opened my ears to Golden and Silver Age composers such as Rozsa and Herrmann, although my collection is still woefully inadequate when it comes to the Golden and Silver Ages.

The morale here, I guess, is that we never stop growing in our appreciation of music - new as well as old. And for that, I'm tremendously grateful that Bregt took up the legacy from Scorereviews and allowed all of us to migrate here to continue our discussions.
