“I once asked Eric if he could write a piece of music that sounded like the feeling you get right after it rains - a sort of hopeful serenity. Half a day later he delivered the score to my film, Seattle In Color, leaving my co-director and I in awe as his beautiful piano melody filled our senses with the smell of early morning dew. I’ve worked with Eric several times since and have yet to work with anyone else with such a natural ability for musical interpretation no matter how challenging the genre or compressed the timeline.”

“I can’t write enough or put into words how valuable a collaborator Eric is. If you choose to work with him he will take your work to levels you never imagined. What I love about Eric is everything he does is with purpose and passion. Nothing is ever ‘phoned in’. He puts his soul into his work and believe me, you dream of partnering with an artist like him.”

“Eric Goetz scored my first film , and that score won awards. We hired him again, because the secret to success is to surround yourself with people smarter and more talented than you are! That is Eric in a nutshell.

Eric is an inventive perfectionist who goes above and beyond on his projects, consistently over-delivering jaw-dropping results. Film composing has no road-map; it’s the sonic pulse, the emotional resonance, and yet needs to know when to shine and when to recede.

Eric connects deeply with the material, which I believe is integral to the sensitivity inherent in his compositions. Technically, he is highly skilled and a multi-instrumentalist. On the latest film project, he also hired and supervised the recording of live musicians, and even taught himself the programing language Python to create some unusual effects he wanted. The result was stunning.

You should absolutely hire Eric to score your next project, if you’re lucky enough to get a break in his schedule! ;)”

“Eric has an uncanny ability to tune into both the film and the director. I am impressed by his musical range and the breadth of his scoring knowledge. He has a sixth sense for the nuances of film, and is easily able to create a variety of moods. As a hands-on director, I can also say that Eric is very comfortable with the give and take of collaboration. He is a pleasure to work with.”

“If you were to make a movie you would start off with an idea, a stone that holds your story down from day one. After you found your make of marble and chose your preference in texture, the script would start to develop. You could start to see fluid lines of expression; these would be your points of impact. During production and post you would chisel miles of marble away to mold form and recognition, you could transform your stone into a magnificent sculpture, an icon... If you were lucky you could take your representation to Eric Goetz, there he would give your likeness life.
Eric Goetz paints moving pictures with his music, but most importantly he makes the viewer move with his music, he is a composer of films and a conductor of emotion.”

“In a fraction of a second, Eric Goetz can capture the most subtle of moments with artful precision. After placing Eric’s final mixes into The Descendants Project, tears flooded my eyes during those scenes I had watched hundreds of times in editing. With a challenging set of parameters and time lines, Eric spared no detail in delivering with integrity, both in his immaculate score and in his business practices.”

“[Eric’s music] gave new meaning to my own emotions in the film ... I am in awe of Eric’s ability to tune into an emotional moment so clearly, letting notes filter into his mind, through his fingertips, to create such beautiful music.”
