the music of Robert Summers Potterton III


"For my first short film after leaving film school I chose Robert from a field of applicants, including composers as far away as Spain. Robert easily composes the classical scores that I like and his debut piece for my film, “Forgive and Forget” was a hit with everyone. He is fueled and powered first by his love of his craft. Driven by the liberty and unrestricted indulgence given to him to compose my scores, I suffer the same fate with each film. Will he come up with a score I like? Gallons of boiling adrenaline later, I am always satisfied. Robert is easy to work with, a rare and indeed special quality in this industry. Both he and I are Leos and one would think this clash of egos would spell disaster for our artistic relationship. What ego? Robert is down to earth, is eager to consider your input and would like to know if he meets your expectation. Which egotist has those qualities? After working on three short films together, I trust his judgment, applaud his creativity and envy his professionalism. I see my creative relationship with him as a long term arrangement as I get ready to make my first feature film."

and created music to our objectives and beyond our expectations. This recording
has been used successfully by thousands of pregnant women in association with the
American College of Nurse-
