I was in a bit of a quandary wondering how I would take charge of my morning before I had to go out and do errands. I had this appetite to clean the fridge. Believe you me that doesn’t happen often. Anyhows, I had the above Spanish movie (Europa Channel) on in the background and I just kept hearing this stupendous music which made cleaning the fridge feel heavenly. So I took a ‘time-out’ to search the movie and the music composer. Eventually I found it and it took a bit of searching mind you. So here it is: Sin Fin (Not The End) by Sergio de la Puente. I’ve been listening to it all day.
It’s a marvellous composition for a special movie in at least the few scenes I saw. If you want just a glimpse into how good this music works with the movie then view this movie trailer. The combination of the soundtrack and photography felt magic. I listen to these pieces and I get goosebumps. There are few moments in life when music just captures your soul in the most unlikely contexts upon first listen and Wham! This is what it felt like to me – a blessing in disguise; like the angels have appeared from nowhere.
At what point did you (Sergio de la Puente) discover that you wanted to become a composer for the audiovisual media?
I knew it all my life, practically. My father came from the world of the image, he was a filmmaker and he loved orchestral music. My mother had worked in classical music as an amateur. The first time I heard “Star Wars” in my house with 5 years… from that moment I said “this is my thing”. I started playing that kind of melodies with the piano. I started studying at the conservatory at the age of 12 and over time it became clear to me that I either dedicated myself to film or to music, so film music united those two passions.
Below are three pieces from the movie which made me take time out from cleaning to search what the heck I was listening to. I’m glad I did. I hope you like them.

Really cool. Drew out some unexpected feelings…..I like that.
That’s what it did for me too. It just hit my sweet spot and his sounds were so prevalent in the movie – they overawed it. The tunes posted here are just a smidgen of what he did in that movie. I was so impressed.
