Daniel Sieff - My Musical Influences

As I made it known some time ago, I am an aspiring musician, and so mentioned that it may be within my capabilities to compose a short but sweet instrumental on my acoustic guitar which could possibly be played over the end credits and/or montage sequence.

I particularly enjoy and find the works of film score composer Hans Zimmer to be very similar to my playing style.



Perhaps his most famous composition, Thunderbird, is featured in the soundtrack of Thelma and Louise (1991).



Although during the creative process I was heavily influenced by the melancholic melodies of indie/folk band Noah and The Whale.



Their film and album, The First Days of Spring (2009), written and directed by lead vocalist and rhythm guitar player Charlie Fink, exhibits how both film and music go hand-in-hand in the pursuit of effectively eliciting the earnest of emotions from deep within the audience’s hart.



And so I think this collaboration, but more specifically the outro of the piece(approximately a minute and a half long ... give or take a few seconds), would fit quite nicely on top of this feel-good romantic comedy.

Hope you enjoy! :)
