Quick Facts Born, Genres ...

On creating music, Canham stated that he wanted to deliver emotion through a "sound palette" of combinations of sounds, textures, and ensembles of instruments, then letting loose with melodies and motifs.[8] For I Care A Lot, Canham claims to have created the score from the script, as opposed to the film.[5]
