"Even though I began my career as a studio musician I never stopped composing...
As a composer I am proud to have won 2 awards in International Film Festivals, which, even in today's very formatted musical environment, makes me feel more energized and motivated to do more and try harder, developping my compositional skills with every new project I take on.
And it may seem as if there isn't too much space for personal creativity and "freedom" of expression when you're composing music in that environment (assuming that's what you're looking for of course), when everything you listen to, everything you hear is based on the same musical culture, using the same tempos, lengths, instrumentations & writing codes; when everything has been created using the same work methods, DAWs, computized music programs & soundbanks, sensible production units & tools. I have nonetheless found that composing for feature films or television series and films or for music libraries vs composing songs for singers, gives me just enough freedom/space to feel good and enthusiastic about sitting down in front of my computer displays or with a guitar on my knee to start a day's work.
