Reply To: Are you a film music missionary?
I haven’t been influenced much by family and friends much, certainly not for film music. My dad wanted me to buy Jean Michel Jarre’s first Oxygene single (he didn’t buy music much). And that got me into his music.
I tried to get family and friends interested when I first got into it but there was little interest. People just thought it a bit weird. That’s why my film music is very personal to me. I listen on headphones, or wait until I have the house to myself. I always listen alone. Which is why I enjoy zoom meeting with fellow film music listeners.
