I have had the pleasure of working for Sean Johnson for the last couple of years. He writes music of transcendent beauty and sweep, at the same time maintaining a high level of craft, discipline, and sensibility. His recent score to the movie "Sight" is a case in point. In it, he effortlessly blends music of both Western and Eastern traditions and it all adds up to an incredibly beautiful and moving experience.
