The queen of documentary film scoring takes some time to chat about her career and her approach to documentary scoring. Miriam has scored great documentaries like the Emmy winning Ghosts Of Abu Ghraib and Emmy nominated Thin. This interview features a heavy focus on doc scoring and it's a very enlightening chat. Miriam shares how she got in the industry and her love for ethnic music. She talks about how easy it is to become so emotionally invested in documentaries that you work on and how that reflects in her music. Miriam also gives some tips to any young female composers trying to break into this still very male dominated industry.
