It turned out that my gift for composing is limited to the cinema. I don't know what kind of feelings I should evoke in audiences in concert halls." (Michał Lorenc)
"You don't compose music for a film but for SOMEBODY. The same film, if made by a different man, would have a completely different music." (Michał Lorenc)[ 6]
