Pieces Slotting Into Place…

So, here with two weeks to go until the music will be completed and dare I say that things are going smoothly with everything full steam ahead. Its increasingly a real joy to work on this project – now that pieces are really slotting in to place with the overall score. Its always testing, going through the wasteland of the midway point, where you’re hopeful things are gelling and making sense overall, but you simply can’t see the wood for the trees. But as you near the finishing line, themes start to recur, references begin to make sense and for me, the music almost takes on a life of its own.
Tonight in particular, tracks are keeping me up, late here in London – but are a joy to work on. And the more I watch this documentary, the more I love it and love what Melissa has managed to achieve with this film. Its an amazing story, told beautifully and intimately and as a composer, is a dream to work with. I’m thrilled to have worked on this together again, as we did before on the brilliant ‘Share and Share Alike’ and have managed this time to overcome transatlantic communication, which at times hasn’t been easy for either of us. But, true to form for Melissa and so aptly for this particular film about the importance of communication itself, we are on schedule to achieve something really special I think, with a score I am (hopeful to be) proud of…. – Andrea Caro, Composer
