Greetings! ScoreKeeper here in my post-Halloween stupor skipping the tricks and diving right into the treats.
If you’re not already familiar with the online radio program “On the Score,” hosted by Daniel Schweiger at Film Music Radio, this is a great week to end your abstinence and get down and dirty with your favorite composers.
Every week, Daniel interviews a new film composer straight from Hollywood’s top shelf and this week, he’s featuring one of my all-time favorite composers working today, Thomas Newman. Always an interesting interviewee, Newman transcends the prototypical Hollywood composer in both his personality and his musical expression.
Daniel’s interviews for “On the Score” are complete cross-examinations of each composers’ career where nothing is off limits and nothing taken for granted. He interjects the conversation with great score selections chronicling the musical history of each composer.
Several weeks ago, Daniel posted his now legendary interrogation of James Horner and has also swapped dialogue with other composers including Howard Shore, John Ottman, and Trevor Rabin.
It’s a great time to be a fan of film music and “On the Score” is one of a host of reasons why.
