“I have had the pleasure of working with Chris Hajian twice now. In addition to being a supreme talent, he is one of the most inclusive and versatile composers I’ve worked with.”
“His compositions both support and enrich the story, whilst taking us on a musical journey that is in itself a representation of the narrative. I loved working with Chris Hajian…”
“Chris is very adept with a whole variety of musical genres, and he really knows how to make music work with comedy. He is also a pleasure to collaborate with, although he can sometimes be a little tight-fisted when tipping strippers.”
“I really enjoyed working with Chris on Knights of Prosperity. He is a nice guy, a hard worker, and very talented. I’ve always found it rare to get all three!”
“Chris Hajian’s sprit of collaboration is only exceeded by his great talent as a composer!”
“Chris’ Score really elevated the canvas of the entire picture. He was asked to compose a lot of music and he delivered with grace and class. Chris is passionate, talented and a true collaborator.”
“Irrespective of genre, Chris has the remarkable talent to cut straight to the heart and soul of a film. His deep understanding of narrative combined with a fierce intuition and sense of humour make Chris one of the best Composers working today.”
“Film scores are a voice, as much as any other in the drama, meant to probe the psychological subtext of the moment and have it sing to an audience. This artistry is the measure of a great film composer, and Chris Hajian is a master of it.”
“Chris Hajian is a phenomenal talent and even a better person. He delivers time and time again and goes above his duties as a composer. His can do attitude and beautiful music is something every film should be fortunate enough to experience, as he really takes the film to another level.”
“Without exception, at every screening, I have been asked who composed the music for my film. I gave Chris a challenge most composers wouldn’t touch because of its unforgiving deadlines–and he never failed… He is a true artist; I can’t imagine working with any other composer–now or in the future.”
“Chris is a master when he is called upon to either deepen an emotional moment, heighten a comedic bit or help drive an action sequence…”
“Chris is a world class musical storyteller whose compositions continually elevate the films he’s worked on…”
“Chris is an immensely talented composer and is a terrific collaborator. He instinctively goes to the core of a scene and uses music to fill beats that aren’t already there. He’s always subtle and his music is always moving…I depend on him dearly.”
“Your score for the Take is so inspiring…a true artists score. It moves me, makes me feel alive and makes me want to cry. The world hasn’t seen anything yet when it comes to your gift of music. I am honored you scored this film.”
I’m happy to announce that I just signed on to compose the score for the documentary Men of the Cloth, directed by Vicki Vasilopoulos. The film tells the story of three Italian master tailors who share their pride and devotion …
