Riding off the dino-hype from the recent release of BBC's 'Walking With Dinosaurs 2', we speak to composer Ben Bartlett who takes us on a journey back 25 years as we discuss the process of creating the music for the original 'Walking With Dinosaurs' series! Come along with us as we chat polytonality, pedals, motivic writing, and how the craft of film scoring has evolved from the beginning of the century to present time...

Some time ago, we sat with Atli Örvarsson who not only is the man behind the BAFTA winning score of Apple TV's hit series 'Silo', but also a composer of album music (including works in collaboration with artists such as Ólafur Arnalds), and formerly a close collaborator with Hans Zimmer at Remote Control Productions. In this episode, we explore the wild and wonderful elements that make the musical world of Silo, alongside numerous nuggets of wisdom such as the beauty of soft-playing and close-micing.

We're also delighted to be joined by our good friend Haukur Karlsson, who guest hosted with us on the episode!

'Arcane', the Netflix phenomenon that not only took the world by storm but which also arguably revolutionised the art of film and TV composing.

From freeing oneself from traditional harmonic principals, intelligently misleading instrumental combinations, to the most brilliant parallel between melody writing and the art of brewing tea - Gary Yershon (Mr Turner, Another Year, The Great Blueness) joins us in one of our most stimulating conversations on the craft of composing for films, theatre, and concert stages yet!

Never in this history of podcasting have we burst into hysterics as much as we did in this episode.

Confused?? Tune in to this episode to find out more...
