On Composing For Couch Cases
While shooting Couch Cases, I was inspired by the emotion behind Amy’s resistance to love and her reluctance to accept what was happening to her when she started falling for Nathan. A rush of music came to me during editing, and I began to write “Go On” for the final scene between Amy and Nathan in the cafe.
Recording the score was great. We opened the scene with a beautiful acoustic guitar (played by Patrick, my partner and co-creator of Couch Cases), and from there, built the emotion by layering more instruments and then finally, the vocals. To me, music intensifies the emotional experience of a story, so it was important that we end Couch Cases on the right note, with emotion that resonated.
