Introduction Since I was a teenager I’ve been making short films. Some have been successful – a few have won awards. I always loved making them but there was something very special about taking the footage into a quiet editing room then placing one image against another. That’s when the magic happened. And most magical of all was when I brought MUSIC into these films. Instantly I could see what a profound and powerful effect music had. Though I always had an excellent feel using it in my films for many reasons it would be years before I would compose and bring my own music into them. But when I did it was as if a door was flung open and wondrous, eclectic, glorious music stormed in.
