I view music mostly as communication, so when I record, I'm communicating to the listener in the future.
Music is a very physical experience, and I need to understand things physically to be able to create the narrative for them.
A lot of my music is kind of contemplative, and somehow that always tends to tilt on the darker side. My inner conversation is apparently quite dark.
Joker' is, of course, a character of my generation grew up with, and it's a character you know really well and have strong opinions about. He's been a larger-than-life character in fiction. He's one of these rare characters that have had such strong performances.
Chase scenes normally just have to be exciting and, you know, not a lot of emotion you need to go through. It's just about getting from A to B with as much excitement as you can.
I don't really like to work with a large team and assistants, because then I lose so much time explaining things, which I don't like.
It's like an electroacoustic, surround-sound cello gamba. It embodies everything that fascinates me the most - acoustics, playing instruments, digital processing, movement of sound. Somehow, everything is combined in Ómar.
I think as you have a more diverse group of people working in the industry, you automatically have more diverse storytelling. That's definitely to be celebrated for sure.
My mother was an opera singer and my father is a clarinet player, composer and conductor.
There are a lot of classical musicians in my family, so I grew up with that being kind of normal.
Because in both TV and film every story under the sun is being told, and so music shouldn't be restricted to have to follow, like, the John Williams template or something. I love John Williams, but that sound doesn't suit every story.
