To kick-off the new year, Catherine Joy joins The Film Scorer Podcast! We discuss a number of her projects, as well as (among other things) the Joy Music House, her work with the Alliance for Women Film Composers, and the […]
After my first listen to Ariel Marx’s score to Shiva Baby, I felt sick. Its constant onslaught was almost too much to bear, with its short runtime saving me. Ordinarily, this would be the mark of truly terrible music. But […]
2021’s Dune has birthed three Hans Zimmer music releases: The Dune Sketchbook, Dune, and The Art and Soul of Dune. The Sketchbook consisted of a series of concepts, experimentations, and ideas that Zimmer and his team created for the film, […]
Pleased to have Harry Gregson-Williams (Shrek, Mulan, The Chronicles of Narnia) join me for a quick chat. We primarily focus on his scores for the two new Ridley Scott films The Last Duel and House of Gucci, as well as […]

In his second collaboration with French phenom director Julia Ducournau, composer Jim Williams’ score for Titane is surprisingly restrained. In Titane, serial killer Alexia’s emotional and physical love of cars leads to a very unexpected pregnancy, forcing her to engage […]
Acclaimed cellist and composer Peter Gregson joins The Film Scorer Podcast! Peter and I talk about his Recomposed Bach Cello Suites (in which Peter re-examined some of Bach’s great cello works), taking me far out of my musical knowledge depth […]
