Danny Elfman hears संगीत in everyday things (like a car driving by). Elfman likes it when आप don’t recognize his संगीत because he wants all of संगीत to be different.

Pee Wee’s Big Adventure was Danny Elfman’s first full orchestra film it was also the start of the partnership of Elfman and director Tim Burton. Elfman and बर्टन don’t have to talk about the संगीत a lot because they agree on the music. Elfman worked on every बर्टन movie except for Ed Wood and Sweeny Todd. Danny Elfman keeps making संगीत that’s powerful, clever, sad, and just plain beautiful.
