Trips to the movie theater were always some of the most exciting experiences as a kid. However, it was not the movies themselves that I found myself excited about. It was the trailers that came beforehand. There was something about the combination of dramatic music blasting through strategically-placed speakers and the action on screen that captivated every bit of attention I had to offer. It was this type of music that inspired me to begin composing. There was only so much that the footage could convey without music; the music had the final say in how exactly the audience would be made to feel. I wrote "Venture" as a way to commemorate those movie-theater experiences and the journey-- or "venture"-- that they took me on.
