Although the calendar says January 2025, our monthly score countdown is stuck in April 2024. Lucky for us, this happens to be home for some of the best scores of the year, including Nick Cave and Warren Ellis’s Back to […]
In a quick 1-2 punch after talking with Daniel Blumberg (The Brutalist), Bryce Dessner (The National, The Revenant, The Two Popes) joins The Film Scorer podcast! Bryce released two scores last year, for the films Sing Sing and We Live […]
Much to my dismay, The Brutalist is not an industrial grindcore band. Nonetheless, I feel compelled to talk about it. As such, composer Daniel Blumberg joins the show! It should be no surprise, then, that we spend much of our […]
