Michael Peaslee interview

Pasi Pitkänen
Featured, Sound Designers
Listen to everything around you and memorize the sounds of the physical world. Always have a recorder and camera with you. Think about how and why things behave the way they do. And you better really like putting in long hours, because you're going to be putting in some really fucking long hours if you want to make sound and music for a living.

Paul Anthony Romero interview

Pasi Pitkänen
Composers
I really try to do my best every time I am creating a piece of music. I try not to just be quick or sloppy. I want my music to have a high quality of construction and to have the power to move a listener. This is my ultimate desire.

Mirko Rizzello interview

Pasi Pitkänen
Composers
Music is a gift, let the others know about it. Release it in the web and don't be afraid of it. If the music is good, the rest comes naturally. But you have to be patient and work continuously.

Frank D’Angelo interview

Pasi Pitkänen
Sound Designers
Be passionate, persistent, and never give up. No matter how much you get knocked down, you just have to get up and try even harder. Networking is also extremely important, and you should do it as much as possible.

Tom Cusack interview

Zdravko Djordjevic
Composers
Things will be easy, and at other times things will be hard. Sometimes a director will say “I hate it!”. You can’t get personal and let emotion get in the way. The hardest part of the job is getting knocked down and picking yourself up. There’s no one other than you who can do that.

Walid Feghali interview

Zdravko Djordjevic
Composers
Well, I don’t claim to have the true wisdoms of life, but seriously… Do what you want to do. Don’t let anything or anyone tell you otherwise. If music is what you really want to work, then keep writing it and never stop. Same goes for everything else, really. I study engineering, write music for pay and do concept art. I do all of these, yet I don’t really give a crap of what will be of me in 5 years – I live now, and so do you.

Emmett Cooke Interview

Zdravko Djordjevic
Composers
Keep going, and don't stop. There are SO many talented people out there and I see so many of them give up over time. No matter what it is, composing, running, flying - keep doing it and you will eventually succeed. That is literally the only one thing that you need in order to succeed - just perseverance.

Agus Gonzalez Lancharro interview

Zdravko Djordjevic
Composers
Don´t ever give up and take it seriously if you really want to be successful on this. Networking is a really important but do not act like a jerk. I already know cases of people that are trying to start in the business but their names are already in the “black list” of fellow composers and professionals of the industry.
