Music contributes to the emotional lifeline of a film.  Contemporary film music is a fully emancipated art form and can run a broad gamut of expression: it can completely caricature the action on screen, gently support or grate against it, even diametrically oppose it.  Finding the right point of balance on this broad scale is the delicate task of the modern film composer.

JWM film scores don’t only ride the desired emotional thread of a film, they also stand alone as coherent and independent musical statements, more than just supporting underscore.
