#41 Gunnard Doboze: Write As Much Music As Humanly Possible

<p>This week’s guest is the wonderful Gunnard Doboze.</p> <p>Gunnard has scored some of the most challenging type of documentary subject matter that you’re likely to come across as a composer.</p> <p>Projects like:</p> <p><a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0390468/">Septem8er Tapes</a>, about the search for Osama Bin Laden in the wake of 9/11,</p> <p><a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2140371/">Saving Face</a>, about a plastic surgeon helping victims of acid attacks in Pakistan, and</p> <p><a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2004365/">State of Control</a>, where two documentary filmmakers become targets of the Chinese regime.</p> <p>I really wanted to interview Gunnard to find out exactly how he tackles documentaries that have such dramatic and emotional storylines - and I absolutely love how he describes his approach, which you’ll hear in the episode.</p> <p>Gunnard also has some really interesting methods when it comes to his workflow, so this really is a must listen episode if you’re still trying to find your flow, and want to learn how to deeply connect with challenging subject matter.</p> <p>Three things I think you’ll really takeaway from this episode include:</p> <p>1. How to make your music become a character in the documentary</p> <p>2. Working with non-linear timelines and the challenge of last-minute edits</p> <p>3. Mixing as you go to inspire creativity in the composition process</p> <p>If you enjoy listening to the podcast, I would&nbsp;<em>really</em>&nbsp;appreciate it if you left a review to help more people find out about it. I’ll even give you a shoutout in the next episode!</p> <p>Follow <a href="https://twitter.com/gunnarddoboze">Gunnard on Twitter</a>, hear <a href="https://soundcloud.com/gunnarddoboze">his music on SoundCloud</a>, and <a href="//gunnarddoboze.com">visit his website</a> for more.</p>
