S. Peace's Answer

Well, I just really wanted to do it and when the opportunities came, I took them. That's really how I got started. I remember back when I scored my first film. It was a black comedy. Quite well done actually. I was friends with the director and offered to help out basically. They were on a tight schedule and I sort of followed them around on the various sets that they shot on during production, because they only had a few days to do post. I remember writing half the score in the same building that they were cutting the film and the other half on one of the sets. I had a my mobile rig setup and brought it with me. It was an interesting project to be part of.

My next projects came in various forms. I was asked to create a sonic ethereal landscape for a dance group and spent one summer working on the music for that, which actually became quite successful and led me to my other projects including dance and some theatre work.

My next significant film was a Japanese horror short film which was a very exhilarating project. Basically a composer-friend of mine couldn't make it so he recommended me to work on it and that was that. It was a really rewarding experience and was the first project that we mixed and dubbed the film at my studio here in Los Angeles. Since then, I've been on a roll working on various projects including trailers and independent films ranging from drama to horror/thriller as well as epic and fantasy.
