I am never quite sure what to think when listeners describe my music using the term ‘filmic.’ Are they referring to a certain sense of space that is, perhaps, similar in both electroacoustic music and film…? Or perhaps it is a sense of dramaturgy or narrative that they find similar…? I am not sure. But whatever the case, my very first piece was described as ‘filmic,’ and such comparisons continue to this day.

Between Pictures is the first of my pieces that is intentionally filmic. It was my attempt to think through filmic connections in my music, and electroacoustic music more generally. It was also an opportunity for me to explore certain sounds that I previously recorded and composed for film but, sadly, never used.
