a love unreturned

When I write music, put my hands on the guitar to see what happens. After I get two or three notes, I execute what I hear in my head, and follow that thread until completion.

It's hard for me to get away from Gustavo Santaolalla's sound, as his style informs all of my playing at this point. However, my main influence for 'a love unreturned' was the work of composer, Abel Korzeniowski; a Polish composer of theater and film scores.

Korzeniowski most famously composed the music for Tom Ford's Nocturnal Animals. In my opinion, he should have been nominated for an Academy Award in 2016 for that score. The music totally drives the final scene of that movie.
