Curtis Lysander Dodds SR. - Film Scoring

I have studied classical piano from the age of 8 until now. I can admit that I truly developed my own sound while studying classical piano at Howard University. One day in my private class, my professor asked why I was playing so angrily. My response was... "That's just how I am feeling at the moment and isn't that what music is supposed to be all about?" He responded that I was going to get an "F" grade if I did not play the music just as it was written. I knoew then and there that I needed to compose music of my own. I decided to learn to play as many instruments as I could. My studies and competitions have taken me all over the world. My classical and formal training background allows me to create sounds that are 100% real, mixed with the highest level of professionalism. One of the most difficult “atmospheres to create” are orchestral and choral sounds. Having grown up listening to real orchestras and rehearsing in the middle of them, I am extremely comfortable creating unique orchestral and choral atmospheres. As a producer I am extremely detail-oriented. During production and post-production of recording sessions, I will make sure that all the details of the sound/soundtrack of your video/film are delivered to the highest standard

I know how to work with deadlines and, depending on the project, I generally offer two or more different ‘final versions’ of your soundtrack.

Like I always say, “the best film scoring enhances the film, it doesn’t take it over."

Fees depend on each individual project.
