  • 55 - Daniel Pemberton - Film Composer
    2022/07/21
    This time my guest is film composer Daniel Pemberton. Before I go any further I just want to take a moment to thank my friend and colleagues John Lyons for connecting me with Daniel. Initially we spoke several months ago, but as you might imagine, Daniel has been busy.

    Some Daniel facts for you:

    At the age of 16 he released his first album, which got quite a bit of attention.
    He then worked for several years creating scores for television including the cherished Peep Show. Daniel has composed for directors Ridley Scott, Aaron Sorkin, Guy Richie, Danny Boyle, Edward Norton and many more. He’s in high demand and is always working! He’s regularly been cited as one of the most exciting and original new voices working in modern film scoring today.


    We finally managed to arrange a day for me to join him at his home in London. In fact, because Daniel wanted to get out of the house/studio, we did the interview in a local park. But I did get to visit the genius's lair. Strewn with instruments, synths, LPs and CDs Daniel really does has a love for his craft. His enthusiasm as he played me part of one of his new scores is clearly evident.

    You’ll hear the sounds of London as we chat, including some dogs fighting, a chinook helicopter going over and the general atmos of a London park at lunch time.

    This episode I have a returning guest, Jon Spira who directed Elstree 1976 and Hollywood Bulldogs is back to talk about his new series streaming on Britbox, namely Reel Britannia.
    Jon has written and directed this himself and it’s a blast. I’m fortunate enough to have watched the first three episodes before I spoke to Jon. The fourth episode is just being finished up as I speak.

    I hope you enjoy our conversation.

  • 36 - Sean Barton - Editor of Return of the Jedi, Quadrophenia, Jagged Edge
    2021/10/15
    So for this episode, I went out into the wide world and actually did an in-person interview. I reached out to editor Sean Barton via IMDB Pro. Actually my first time using the site. So that’s a 1 for 1 hit rate so far. As a hater of Zoom, Sean was very gracious in inviting me to his house on the other side of London. Both of us are double vaccinated and LFT’s were done beforehand just to be sure. So I rocked up with two Zoom H2 mics (one purchased the day before because my spare was failing to work) a mic-stand and a list of general topics that I wanted to talk about. Actually I only looked at the list for the first question and the rest of the conversation flowed rather nicely. He really is such a nice man and so easy to talk with.If you don’t know him by name, you’ll certainly know him by his work. Sean edited the seminal cult film Quadraphina for Frank Roddam, he then teamed up with Richard Marquand for Birth of the Beatles, Eye of the Needle and in 1981 they both began work on the last film in the Star Wars trilogy. A little independent film called Return of the Jedi. You may have heard of it.Both Richard and Sean worked together again on the psychological thriller Jagged Edge, starring Glenn Close and Jeff Bridges. I re-watched all of the above in preparation for the chat and I was surprised to find how fresh Jagged Edge felt. Of it’s time for sure, but it still works. It was clearly the proto erotic-psycological thriller that lead to a slew of them in the 90s. Despite the fact there isn’t much eroticism in Jagged edge. Enjoy.
