Interview with Roger Magrià

  1. Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?

  2. A: I composed and produced the full score for a short film where music was central to the narrative. It was my first full cinematic project, and it confirmed my passion for storytelling through sound.

  3. Q: What are you working on at the moment?

  4. A: I’m currently working on the soundtrack for a documentary and developing a series of cinematic cues for my trailer music portfolio.

  5. Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?

  6. A: Not at the moment, but I’m open to collaborating with trusted professionals I discover through the platform.

  7. Q: Analog or digital and why?

  8. A: Digital — it offers speed, flexibility, and access to world-class libraries and tools that allow cinematic quality from a home studio.

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

  10. A: I will deliver original, high-quality music tailored to your story — on time, and with full commitment to your vision.

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

  12. A: Bringing stories to life through music and creating emotional moments that elevate the visuals.

  13. Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

  14. A: “How long will it take?” My answer: It depends on the scope — usually between 5 to 10 days for a fully produced piece.

  15. Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?

  16. A: That music is quick to make. Quality composition, production, and mixing take time and care to serve the story properly.

  17. Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

  18. A: I ask about the emotional goals, references, timing, project format, and if they need real instruments or just digital production.

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

  20. A: Be clear about your project’s emotional tone and deadline. The more you share upfront, the better and faster I can tailor the music to your needs.

  21. Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?

  22. A: My PC, Antelope Zen Go, my MIDI keyboard, Spitfire Symphonic Strings, and a good pair of headphones.

  23. Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?

  24. A: I studied music production and sound engineering, and have been working professionally for over a year. I’ve been composing and honing my sound for over five.

  25. Q: How would you describe your style?

  26. A: Cinematic, emotional, textural, and dynamic. I blend orchestral elements with synths and modern sound design to create immersive scores.

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

  28. A: I'd love to work with visual directors like Makoto Shinkai or Denis Villeneuve, whose visual storytelling deeply connects with my musical sensibility.

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

  30. A: Don’t overproduce in early stages — focus on musical intent first. A good idea in a simple arrangement beats a polished mix with no purpose.

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

  32. A: Epic, emotional, and modern hybrid orchestral music — often combining strings, brass, and synths to create modern cinematic soundtracks.

  33. Q: What's your strongest skill?

  34. A: My ability to translate a story into music that feels emotionally connected and musically professional, while handling every stage of the production process.

  35. Q: What do you bring to a song?

  36. A: I bring cinematic emotion, clarity, and narrative focus — combining orchestral depth with modern textures to support and enhance the visual experience.

  37. Q: What's your typical work process?

  38. A: I start by discussing the emotional and narrative goals of the project, then compose a first sketch. Once approved, I produce, record real instruments if needed, mix, and master the final score.

  39. Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

  40. A: I work in a treated home studio equipped with an Antelope Zen Go interface, Shure SM7B microphone, and Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro headphones. My system runs on a high-performance PC with an Intel i9-13900K, 64GB of RAM, and an NVIDIA RTX 4090 — allowing me to handle large orchestral sessions smoothly. I use top-tier sample libraries like Spitfire, Audio Imperia, Modern Scoring, and more for professional, cinematic results.

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

  42. A: I’m inspired by composers like Alan Silvestri, Joe Hisaishi, Hans Zimmer, and Ludwig Göransson for their emotional storytelling, texture, and bold musical choices.

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

  44. A: I compose original, fully produced music for visual media — mainly for trailers, films, documentaries, and video games — delivering complete sync scores.
