Episode # 33: Basil Poledouris

In this episode, we explore the career of one of the most striking voices in film music over the last 40 years, who never really got the recognition he deserved while he was alive. The episode is in Norwegian.

Episode # 36: Alan Silvestri in Ghent (11th International Edition)

We had the great pleasure of interviewing the great Alan Silvestri for this latest episode.

http://celluloidtunes.no/celluloid-tune ... l-edition/

PLAYLIST:

Silvestri on electronic music
Critical Condition (1987) – «Main Title»
Silvestri on COSMOS
Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey (2014) – «The Speed of Light»
Silvestri on Zemeckis

Silvestri on BACK TO THE FUTURE
Back to the Future (1985) – «Back to the Future Suite»
Silvestri on next project

Great interview, especially the different question about his experience with electronics. Loved his enthusiasm in answering the questions.

Thanks, T. Newman Fan. My only regret is that when I asked him about THE ABYSS (one of my favourite scores EVER!), the conversation kinda went elsewhere, so I couldn't use it. And then the time eventually ebbed out. But still, it turned out pretty OK.

I agree about Silvestri's electronic music. It's SO underrated, IMO, and it's a shame he's not asked about it more often.

Episode # 37: Giorgio Moroder in Oslo (12th International Edition)

Another favourite composer crossed off the bucket list! Apparently, he told some stories here he hadn't told before, so check it out. It's in English.

http://celluloidtunes.no/celluloid-tune ... l-edition/

PLAYLIST:

Midnight Express (1978) — «The Wheel»
American Gigolo (1980) — «Palm Springs Drive»
Scarface (1983) — «Tony’s Theme»
The Neverending Story (1984) — «Swamp of Sadness»
Electric Dreams (1984) — «The Duel»
Metropolis (1927/1984) — «The Legend of Babel»
Cat People (1982) — «Paul’s Theme»

Another great interview, Thor! Many of today's film score enthusiasts have no interest in Moroder's sound, but his tremendous impact is undeniable.

Donna Summer has always been one of my absolute favorite pop artists, and Moroder's production expertise is owed a large credit for that.

Yeah, the response to this programme from film score enthusiasts has been underwhelming, to say the least. But thanks again for listening, t.newmanfan!

Episode # 38: Star Wars Special!

I get together with composer Eirik Myhr and fellow Williams- and Star Wars-enthusiast Nils Holt Hanssen to speak about the music for all seven films -- and then some. It's in Norwegian.
