ComingSoon takes us behind the scenes of the score to 'The Wolf of Snow Hollow' by Ben Lovett. On a score like this the aim is to be referential without being derivative, to celebrate the influences instead of trying to hide them. I like folding a love letter into what I’m doing but try to keep from getting too caught up in that, ultimately I’m just chasing an instinct about a sound and feel that hopefully expands on the personality and character of the film, says Lovett. https://www.comingsoon.net//1152916-exclusive-take-a-deep-
