Stephen Gallagher is an award winning composer and music editor based in Wellington, New Zealand. His music is haunting and he’s one of these people that makes it look easy. Of course in reality his life as been one of dedication and hard work. In this episode we talk about the process of writing soundtracks, how Stephen’s career came to be, his work on The Hobbit, The Lovely Bones and Human Traces, his collaborations with Brian Eno, Peter Jackson and Ed Sheeran and how the international hit I See Fire was casually written right in front of him.
