Writing in the style of other composers is a brilliant way to improve your skills. I still encourage you to watch some movies/TV series WITHOUT focusing on the music though 😉

Definitely is one of the most amazing scores. It’s one of those scores that manages to be completely immersive (which often means it doesn’t stand out in the movie) and yet so iconic (often meaning the opposite!) at the same time. Really creates an entire world.

If i like a composer i pay attention to 1)structure 2)chord progression 3)instrumentation 4)arrangement. Then i give myself a task to write something in the style of this composer. It is very good practice. I started doing it because before writing music for various projects i am often given some music reference links i need to listen. It is not copying but borrowing some elements and creating something new
