Rezensionen
"... a comprehensive look into the history and creative process of contemporary film scoring. A must-read for all lovers of movies and movie music."

-Pinar Toprak, Composer of Captain Marvel and Fortnite



" Although there are a few books dealing with music written for films there are none that I know of written by an accomplished composer. Kenneth Lampl's book contains numerous entertaining and instructive insights that are absent from other works in this genre"

- Bruce Beresford, Director, Academy Award-winning Driving Miss Daisy and Breaker Morant





"More than a how-to guide, and more than an overview of the history of film music, composer and industry insider Kenneth Lampl weaves together the best insights from the best in the business to understand why the soundtrack has come of age."

-Dan Golding, Host, ABC Screen Sounds



"Kenneth Lampl is a composer as capable of massive sci-fi epics as an intimately twisted psychological thriller. And you can tell that he's more than well versed in all the shades of soundtracks"

-Daniel Schweiger, The Film Music Institute
