Albums that have inspired me and made me the film composer I am? Probably not what you'd think. #trumpet #musician #jazz #jazzmusic #jazzmusician #markisham #music #composer #filmcomposer #musiceducation #filmscore #musicscore

Conducting as the film composer. I personally don't often and these are my personal reasons why. #conducting #conductor #composer #filmcomposer #synths #synthesizers #electronicmusic #trumpet #musician #jazz #jazzmusic #jazzmusician #markisham #music #musiceducation #filmscore

Possibly the most important thing in film composing... #synths #synthesizers #electronicmusic #trumpet #musician #jazz #jazzmusic #jazzmusician #markisham #music #composer #filmcomposer #musiceducation #filmscore #musicscore #pianoscore #dogs

One of my favorite scores I've written that basically no one knows of. #composer #filmcomposer #synths #synthesizers #electronicmusic #trumpet #musician #jazz #jazzmusic #jazzmusician #markisham #music #musiceducation #filmscore #musicscore

A crucial thing for film composers to learn outside of the art of composing: communicating and working with a group! #composer #filmcomposer #filmspotting #synths #synthesizers #electronicmusic #trumpet #musician #jazz #jazzmusic #jazzmusician #markisham #music #filmscore

How I start composing a film. I have two approaches and it really depends on the project and what it's going to need musically. #composer #filmcomposer #musiceducation #synths #synthesizers #electronicmusic #trumpet #musician #jazz #jazzmusic #jazzmusician #markisham #music

WRITERS BLOCK - the nefarious inner demon. I think being a jazz musician where improvising is so much of the skill set helps me a lot with this one. It forces you to stop thinking and just DO IT! #writersblock #creativeblock #composer #filmcomposer #musiceducation #filmscore

The synthesizer I don't have that I really wish I did! #synths #synthesizers #electronicmusic #trumpet #musician #jazz #jazzmusic #jazzmusician #markisham #music #composer #filmcomposer #musiceducation #filmscore #musicscore #rossum #rossumelectromusic #daverossum

A tip for composers! All the choices you make, beginning to end, have to be based on what emotionally serves the story. #composer #filmcomposer #synths #synthesizers #electronicmusic #trumpet #musician #jazz #jazzmusic #jazzmusician #markisham #music #filmscore #musicscore

How I wrote the theme for 42. Proof that inspiration can come from anywhere, you just have to sit there and start playing something. #trumpet #musician #jazz #jazzmusic #jazzmusician #markisham #music #composer #filmcomposer #musiceducation #42movie #filmscore #musicscore

Which is my favorite trumpet??? Oh I could never choose! It would simply be unfair to the rest. #trumpet #musician #jazz #jazzmusic #jazzmusician #markisham #music #composer #filmcomposer
