I joined the project at a very early stage during the filming process which really helped me soak in the story, the characters, the environment and most importantly the director’s vision. Being this my first cinematic adventure I started out having extended talks with my friend and director Adolfo Kolmerer about our cinematographic and musical taste, about the plot, the different storylines, the spectrum of emotions he wanted to convey and how the music should help tell the story.
With the music we mostly aimed to convey the different emotions from the point of view of the characters instead of constantly telling the audience how to feel about this or that situation. We ended up with a concept that worked out but I wasn’t nearly finished with the score and so we decided to move my studio into the offices of Lopta Films where the movie was being cut so we could have better and more efficient communication. Between the months of February and March 2016 and with all the creative juices flowing between the cutting room, the director and the room where I built my temporary studio, I managed to finish writing and arranging the score. After that I moved back to my studio and recorded most of the guitars properly through my amps, recorded cellis and basses, rendered the stems of all cues and prepared the Pro Tools session for the cinema mix. This was for me the most exciting, creative experience of my life so far. It was like going to school but better. I met amazing friends along the way and it feels like it’s just the beginning of something unique. I really had no idea what kind of project I was getting into but I am happy I did and I would do it all over again a million times.
