About this listen
How can a film score make you cheer, shiver, cry or punch the air in exhilaration? How do directors communicate their musical vision to composers? And when does a soundtrack take on a life of its own? Award-winning film critic Mark Kermode and radio producer Jenny Nelson embark on a full-throttle trip down the glorious rabbit hole of film composition to answer these questions and more.
Celebrating the emotional connection that audiences form with film music, discovering composers’ varied creative working methods and exploring how what we hear has an impact on what we see, Mark talks to his favourite composers about the scores that have been most influential in their careers, and delves into the music he has appreciated with a passion.
Including interviews with extraordinary talents from Radiohead’s Jonny Greenwood to Oscar-winning composer Anne Dudley, telling the stories behind iconic soundtracks such as Rachel Portman’s Never Let Me Go and Vangelis’s Blade Runner, and ranging from classics to blockbusters to horrors, Mark Kermode’s Surround Sound is a thrilling take on how great scores are brought to life on the silver screen.
