The talent of Granada
-What have you enjoyed the most with the Music Creation Course?
-This workshop revolves around the figure of the 21st century composer linked to technology, which I think we should embrace so as not to become obsolete. There is a lot of talent in Granada and I wanted the students to have the tools to make music of the highest level that would lead them to do projects. I am very grateful for the technological deployment and the organizers of the course. Wonders can be done in Granada Music and Dance FestivalThey always bring the best. I think this course is going to change the lives of the students. Returning to Spain to teach what I have learned is a privilege.
”I think this course is going to change the lives of the students”
What do you think is the most important thing to learn?
-I always put a lot of emphasis on music for audiovisuals, but I never discriminate between its different functions. I think they should learn how to work as a team and what the correct attitudes are.
-How did you realize that you wanted to dedicate yourself to composing soundtracks?
-I grew up in Granada and music was always a game for me, I liked to play Bach, for example, and touch it happy and then sad. He changed the melodies and provoked emotions and sensations in people and that seemed hilarious and exciting to me. I discovered that this was a job and started doing it non-stop. I went from improviser to soundtrack creator. I had studied classical composition, but I wasn’t excited about it until I moved on to soundtracks and saw that you can take it to a really fun level of depth.
-Your career is fast-paced, what would you highlight about your career?
-I think that the most important thing is that all the decisions you make are for love and passion. At the age of 17 I went to the boston school with a scholarship and from that moment I began to work with great composers, Oscar winners, nominees for grammys. We are people who make projects of all kinds of the classical, I think that you are always part of the orchestra, a synthesizer is just as emotional. I like to make music that people want to hear.
“This year I am making my first film as a composer, ‘Argentina 1985′”
-You have participated in numerous projects, what is coming?
–Klaus It was my first big project and from then on everything was shot, with a lot of work. This year I am making my first film as a composer, Argentina 1985. It’s my first soundtrack as main composer, the director is from Santiago Miter and the producer is Victor Alonsothis being a great honor.
