    I had the best experience working with Juan. Such a talented musician and so easy to work with. I've worked with quite a few musicians and no one has been able to capture what i wanted like Juan did. Truly a gifted composer.

Interview with Juan Ignacio Catalano

  1. Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?

  2. A: That every piece of music I work on is original, custom, done with love and thought.

  3. Q: What do you like most about your job?

  4. A: I love creating. I love expressing myself and helping others do so themselves. I love the deep level of storytelling that you can achieve throughout a musical piece. I love music's sheer beauty and color.

  5. Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

  6. A: Be clear on your ideas, and what you are trying to convey. Work with references. When expressing what you are looking for, provide every last bit of information that you can!

  7. Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?

  8. A: I love working with animators. I love the different styles each animator has, and how they convey it in their art. It is amazing.

  9. Q: What type of music do you usually work on?

  10. A: Cinematic, orchestral, electronic, beats, jazz, pop, corporate or even 8bit as well.

  11. Q: What's your strongest skill?

  12. A: Composition. I am very focused, detail-oriented and I write memorable, beautiful melodies. My production skills are very important as well, since they help me bring the music to life.

  13. Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?

  14. A: I am inspired by authentic and creative music composers. I recently listened to Rob Simonsen's score in "The Whale" and it caught my attention.

  15. Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.

  16. A: Producing, scoring and composing to video! Most of the time recording, mixing and mastering the score as well.

  17. Q: Can you share one music production tip?

  18. A: Give your music some time. Let it rest after working on it for a few hours, get your ears off of it and then listen again. Most times you will notice things you had grown used to over the hours.

  19. Q: How would you describe your style?

  20. A: Melodic, original, memorable. The way in which those qualities are portrayed usually depends on the style of music I feel the piece should have. Sometimes I'll write for orchestra and make it sound more colorful, Neo-classical. Other times it will be darker, deeper, more Romantic. If I feel the mood should be jazzy then it'll be a Jazz piece, or even a Hip-Hop beat if it calls for it. I just try to keep it coherent, and musical.
