Selected Works

I see music and sound as part of the same narrative language. By starting compositions during the writing stage and remaining involved through shooting and post-production, I can shape a unified sonic world where score and sound design naturally coexist.

Musical Identity

Here is a selection of tracks that represent my musical style, which I would define as melancholic, dramatic and dreamlike.
My music is a blend of Electronic, Minimalism, Experimental & Neo-Classical.

About

Norman
Cooper

Melancholy is a twilight. Suffering melts into a dark joy. Melancholy is the happiness of being sad.
Victor Hugo

For me, melancholy is a complex sensation that can contain nuanced and poetic emotions such as nostalgia, regret, hope and sorrow.

All these facets bring depth and versatility to the music.

Growing up, I was immersed in my parents’ musical influences, and I was particularly influenced by Mike Oldfield’s albums. My father used to put his vinyl records on at weekends, and hearing his creations gave me a very singular vision of music.

Hearing the sounds of telephones and motorcycles in these tracks opened my eyes to the infinite and unusual possibilities of musical creation.

I now consider the processes of creating music and sound design to be identical, and naturally mix the two.

When I write music for a film, I’m not writing a solo album, and I’m not writing a personal piece. I’m part of a team of artists. So I think like a filmmaker more than a composer.
