Film Music Quotes

Film music should have the same relationship to the film drama that somebody's piano playing in my living room has on the book I am reading. Igor Stravinsky
I don't believe in an annual dose of film music for the sake of it being film music. If we program film music, it will be because there is a real artistic reason for doing so. Esa-Pekka Salonen
I actually write film music because I'm classically trained on the piano so as well as songwriting I also write actual film music that could be used for movies like war movies and love movies. Vanessa Brown
Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And don’t bother... Jim Jarmusch
Fear is a problem with film music and films; people want to be conventional, and there's more commercialism today. If you are not daring in your art, you're bankrupt. Alex North
Although I enjoyed writing Film Music it was always a means to an end, in that it enabled me to keep a wife and family and write my classical music, which has always been my passion. Malcolm Arnold
I began to think, now is the time. I found quite a lot of opposition in Hollywood about the idea of doing a film musical and we ended up having to buy the rights back. I'm glad we did because it meant John and I were able to make exactly the movie we wanted. Andrew Lloyd Webber
In most films music is brought in at the end, after the picture is more or less locked, to amplify the emotions the filmmaker wants you to feel. Ken Burns
Vanessa Brown quote: "So film music is something I absolutely wanna get involved in."
So film music is something I absolutely wanna get involved in. Vanessa Brown
Steve Sabol quote: "How about that? You can hear NFL Films music on everything..."
How about that? You can hear NFL Films music on everything from 'SpongeBob SquarePants' to 'Deep Throat.' Steve Sabol
Marc Newson quote: "I've always listened to a lot of film music, actually."
I've always listened to a lot of film music, actually. Marc Newson
I'm not afraid of being thought of as someone who is associated with film music. Why not? If it's a good song, what does it matter? Bryan Adams
Music, to me, is the most beautiful form, and I love film because film is very related to music. It moves by you in its own rhythm. It's not like reading a book or looking at a painting. It gives you its own time frame, like music, so they are very connected for me. But music to me is the biggest inspiration. When I get depressed, or anything, I go "think of all the music I haven't even heard yet!" So, it's the one thing. Imagine the world without music. Man, just hand me a gun, will you? Jim Jarmusch
Roland Joffe quote: "Music is a very integral part of the film, but it will not be..."
Music is a very integral part of the film, but it will not be as full of music as a Bollywood film. Roland Joffe
Film as dream, film as music. No art passes our conscience in the way film does, and goes directly to our feelings, deep down into the dark rooms of our souls. Ingmar Bergman
