Interview with Caleb J. Both
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: Helping filmmakers tell their stories!
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: A lot of people tend to think "orchestra music" is limited to "classical" music. Far from it! The music I write maintains a sense of the familiar, melodically driven music of the time, but approaches it in a much more modern way.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I write original music for films, short films, and multi-media, and I also offer orchestration services.
