An Interview with Frédéric Yonnet [The Film Scorer Podcast - Audio Only]
Joining The Film Scorer is harmonicist extraordinaire Frédéric Yonnet. Fred has toured and performed with an incredible slate of legendary musicians, like Stevie Wonder, Prince, John Mayer, Ed Sheeran, Erykah Badu, John Legend, The Roots, Usher, Talib Kweli, Yasiin Bey (f/k/a Mos Def), De La Soul, and A Tribe Called Quest, among many others. Even if you haven't heard of Fred before, you've definitely heard his harmonica. With all that said, why is he chatting with The Film Scorer? It's because his work doesn't end there.
Fred has lent his virtuosic harmonica playing to various film projects, including the Robbie Robertson composed scores for The Irishman (where his harmonica channels death) and, most recently, the Golden Globe nominated Killers of the Flower Moon (where his harmonica channels greed). As such, while we start off talking about his love of the harmonica and performing with various music legends, our conversation ultimately leads to Robbie Robertson, The Irishman, Killers of the Flower Moon, and Fred's playful run-in with Scorsese at Cannes.

Roadkill - Opening Credits - Harry Escott
Переглядів 6619 годин тому
This is the opening credit sequence from the BBC One series Roadkill, with music from Harry Escott (for which he won a BAFTA). This cue is the "Roadkill Title Theme", track 18 on the score release, and really encapsulates the sound and style of the series' score. Often a show's title cue or song has some shared DNA with the rest of the score, but is distinct. With Roadkill, in contrast, the mai...
Shadow Hunters (1983) - Opening Credits - Composed by Koji Ishikawa and Totaro Hayashi
Переглядів 749День тому
Here's the opening credits sequence from the 1983 made for tv samurai film Shadow Hunters. The most notable aspect is the music from Koji Ishikawa and Totaro Hayashi (who I believe are the composers, there's minimal information available and the end credits aren't translated). It feels very much like the music to a western from decades past, and this general sonic direction is repeated througho...

Pulitzer Prize winning composer Michael Abels (Get Out, Nope) joins the show to round out 2023! Not surprisingly, Michael and I spend a fair amount of time talking about his work with Jordan Peele on the films Get Out, Us, and Nope, including a broad look at their working relationship and how it fulfilled Michael's long-time dream of working in film. But Michael also scored a couple films this ...

As 2023 starts to close, and the awards season begins to heat up, I'm joined by the composer for what's being widely hailed as one of the best film scores of the year: Jerskin Fendrix. Jerskin's latest score is for the film Poor Things, directed by Yorgos Lanthimos. But not only is Poor Things Jerskin's latest score, it's also his first. And it just landed him a Golden Globe nomination. Unsurpr...

Experimental composer Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe (Candyman) joins The Film Scorer podcast in the midst of the year-end blitz. Rob's latest score is for the vérité-style documentary Grasshopper Republic. As such, we spend much of the conversation talking about, and around, Rob's score, which is certainly among the most overlooked of the year. Along the way we talk about Rob's general style and appr...
Laura Karpman Talks The Marvels, American Fiction [The Film Scorer Podcast - Audio Only]

I'm getting closer and closer to having conducted one hundred composer interviews, and yet I don't think I've ever covered a Marvel score in one (let alone any superhero score). With Laura Karpman (Ms. Marvel, What If...?) joining the show, that all changes. Laura is fresh off of scoring the latest MCU film, The Marvels, starring Brie Larson (Captain Marvel), Iman Vellani (Ms. Marvel), and Teyo...
Hands of Steel - Claudio Simonetti - Paco's Introduction/Atomic Cyborg
Переглядів 783 місяці тому
In the introduction of Paco Querak in 1986's Hands of Steel, we hear what will effectively be Paco's theme/the main action motif that composer Claudio Simonetti will utilize heavily throughout the film. It's a quick little moment but immediately sets Paco up as someone not to be messed with... In the score release, you'll first hear this motif in the cue Atomic Cyborg.
An Interview with Yair Elazar Glotman [Audio Only]
Переглядів 463 місяці тому
I've been familiar with Yair Elazar Glotman ever since I heard his score for Last and First Men, which he co-composed with the great Jóhann Jóhannsson. As such, it's great to finally have him on the show! Yair and I primarily talk about his score for the new Netflix crime thriller Reptile, for which Yair has composed a fairly dense, abstract, and textural score. The score - and the film overall...

As season 4 of The Film Scorer podcast draws to a close, I'm joined by someone all of you should know: Viggo Mortensen (The Lord of the Rings, The Road)! One thing you might not know about Viggo - it was certainly news to me - is that he's also a musician, making a number of albums with famed guitarist Buckethead and even scoring a couple films, including his latest directorial effort The Dead ...

In this somewhat Halloween-flavored episode, Rostam Batmanglij (Rostam) (ex-Vampire Weekend, The OA) joins the show! Taking a little detour from his solo and collab music, and writing and producing for other artists like Haim, Charli XCX, and Frank, Ocean, Rostam and I primarily talk about his new score for the film The Persian Version. Rostam's score is quite subtle and restrained, marrying an...

To keep the newly-launched season 4 momentum rolling, I'm joined by composer Christopher Willis! Chris is actually responsible for some of my favorite scores in recent years, like The Death of Stalin and The Personal History of David Copperfield, as well as the excellent series Veep (among other things). However, I managed to keep the fan side of me at bay until the very end of our chat. Instea...
