Sam Watts: 'Thinking in Sound' with LBB Online

Composer Sam Watts speaks about his many influences and audio heroes, frequent collaborations with Russel T Davies, and work on ‘The Traitors’, as part of the Thinking In Sound- interview series with LBB online. 

"When you’re composing music for a scene, you’re in collaboration with the actors. Your dialogue must support theirs. Your actions must reflect theirs. And the director of photography has a huge influence on the score for me. The way a project is lit makes a massive difference to the sound of the score.

Collaboration is really my thing. The more I worked in the industry, the more I realised that working with other people to spark ideas and achieve our goals is the thing that excites me. And it doesn’t really matter in what capacity – be it another musician, a music supervisor, or a director."
