Christophe Beck (born Jean-Christophe Beck, 1968/1969) is a Canadian television and film score composer. He is a brother of the noted pianist Chilly Gonzales.
Careers are built on relationships. Even if it's a bad movie, even if I know it's a bad movie, even if it's a team of filmmakers that I know are going to be difficult, that I know are going to really make me work extra hard, it's fundamentally the same process.
I was just trying to fit in to the stereotype American dream, exactly what my parents and everyone expected of me, i met someone who's -- who's awesome, you know, we got along good.
Sometimes the personality or just the particular process of a director can really affect your quality of life as a composer in terms of how much time you spend away from your family or the amount of time you spend doing the type of work that you maybe don't consider as fun to do as other type of work.
Notes are part of life for any composer for hire. There's no way around it. I think anyone who has done even a small number of films as a professional composer gets used to that idea pretty quickly.
Each film does bring a new set of personalities and it can turn out great or it can turn out not great.
