Abstract

Film and theatre music evolve like DNA spirals. They distance and approach each other constantly, in a fluid and graceful concealing, permanently chained to one another. For the one who composes both, the artistry builds itself on learning the rules of time, extremely precise and terrifically vague at the same... time. From aesthetics to style and afterwards to studio technique, film and theatre music follow the same path of minimum resistance like the one from mountain towards the fields or, on the contrary, they stubbornly choose the hardest path, even though they root from the same creative river.
