Jml film music
Music to picture has always fascinated me, the way music works in conjunction with dialogue and image. It's also interesting how film music establish the mood and tone of a movie, regardless of genre. Strong visual images in combination with dialog, effects and music can have great impact on our emotions, even if we're not always aware of it. These are some of the reasons I studied film music. If you make film, give us a call or contact us, we'll be pleased to be part of your film project, or even just hear about it.
