Sometimes the “scariest” thing we do isn’t facing ghosts, it’s facing ourselves.
Maybe it was scoring your first film, sharing your original music, or trying a completely new style.
What’s the scariest creative risk you’ve ever taken that helped you grow?

Every time one faces the blank sheet of manuscript paper or a new file in your DAW....

The scariest situation was when we suddenly got Peter Jackson's King Kong dropped in our laps at James Newton Howard's studio. 4 weeks to write and record a 3 hour film. Cue the 2 AM meltdown I had in the parking lot basically sounding like Bill Paxton's character from Aliens.
Creatively I've had to wear so many hats over the years. The hardest stuff for me to adapt to was animation.

Till now, the scariest risk was to contact a professional film composer to get his feedbacks on my work. I asked him to give me a sharp answer : either it's unworthy, or it's way far from good and need much work, or it's pro and I should keep on doing it. Guess what, I'm still here, I had the best answer ever but I was ready to give up everything if his answer was negative.
