The story obiviously. And lot of talk with director

I’m Subin Karkani, a self-taught composer specializing in film scoring, television, games, animation, and music for visual media. I’m looking to connect with filmmakers, directors, producers, animators, game developers, and other creative professionals who are interested in collaborating on...

Yeah, most of the time. I carry my phone everywhere..even to the toilet 😅. Whenever a melody comes to my head, I just hum it into the voice recorder. Sometimes it’s just a small idea or a motif, and then I try to expand it and improvise around it. But that’s not the only way I compose. Sometimes...

Actually, I have my own little trick. I don't know what established composers do, but when I have complete creative freedom, I imagine myself as a bystander an uninvolved character in the story or scene. I just watch what's happening and listen. Then I listen for the sounds and tunes I hear in...

Well, the director gave me complete creative freedom. It really depends on the director we’re working with. Sometimes, we have to work within certain constraints like no flute sounds, no mallets, no strings, etc. So, as a composer, you have to adapt your approach to fit the director’s vision...

Hi, I’m an indie music composer currently working on the soundtrack for an independent animated film from Portugal. Interestingly, I don’t speak Portuguese or understand the language. The work includes the complete soundtrack as well as the end-credit song. More information about the project...

I would suggest approaching an indie composer or an early career composer. There are thousands of incredibly talented composers out there who are not in the limelight simply because they haven’t been given enough opportunities to establish themselves. To be honest, one of the biggest challenges...

In my opinion, one be a little cautious about relying too heavily on music library websites (No argument about the quality of the music as it is written by a talented musician) just because the tracks are advertised as “free.” The real issue is not finding a track. it is finding one that...

Thank you for your kind words.. The first thing I do is talk to the director, second, I read the script or aask explain the director about the story, where it happening, whether the story has a pleasent end, or its bad, or it ends with a question.. Talking to the director is the important part...

Hello @Cinema Doktor . Thank you! Yes, I am looking for projects that I can compose remotely. Type of film: short, long, animation... doesn't matter. I just want to write some music and tell the story on the screen with my sound pallet.
