VOYAGELA - Life & Work with Kristine Bernabe
"As a film composer and music producer, my work draws from the various genres that have influenced me throughout my life. From film composers like Hans Zimmer, Ramin Djawadi, and Ludwig Göransson to classical composers and rock bands like The Beatles, I love finding new ways to combine different techniques and create new sounds. One way these artists have influenced me is in how they blend genres and push the boundaries of music. I always think about the experimental music production techniques they’d do on Beatles records, for example, and it inspires me to take creative risks of my own." Read More
