Sound of Cinema

Available for 29 days

Join Edith Bowman for the ultimate weekly round-up of top-tier film scores and movie soundtracks. This week, Edith will be speaking to composer Danny Elfman about one of his latest projects - Gus Van Sant's Dead Man's Wire - and also about his hugely prolific and eclectic career. We'll also be welcoming back Scottish composer Craig Armstrong, who'll be talking about his score to the 2006 film World Trade Center in this week's Harmonising Hollywood. And British saxophonist and rapper Soweto Kinch chooses his Pick of the Flicks, featuring the music of Terence Blanchard. Plus newly released music from films currently streaming and in UK cinemas, as well as a selection from some classic movie music.
