Do Me A Solid

We are so delighted to have Composer Lyle Workman on the show this week. Workman has composed some of the more legendary comedies of the 2000's so far. This includes: Superbad, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and 40 Year Old Virgin. He Also does a wide array of TV work, and is an accomplished musician. Listen as Jake and Lyle get to know one another, and discuss his illustrious career!

We speak to Jonathan Kawchuk about his latest album, NORTH, and his work as a Film/TV Composer.

Today we bring you the story of Jogi Tautz, his father, and Brillant Music. Together, Jogi and his father created a wildly successful music catalogue, and they didn't really mean to! Today you can hear their music adorn "Always Sunny in Philadelphia" as it's main theme, but the tale of how this all came about is so much larger. Have a listen and enjoy this story of family & great music!

Well, HBO has done it again. They have put out an amazing piece of work, based on a true story, filled with great actors, from a great Director, and of course, scored by an amazing Composer. That film is "My Dinner with Hervé," and that Composer is David Norland. He is the focus of this week's Artist Spotlight!

Our host was lucky enough to sit down with prolific song-writer and producer Robbie Nevil. Robbie has written with many of the greats, and has had an absurd amount of success placing music in Film/TV. Jake and Robbie discuss his illustrious career which included Billboard hits, as well as writing the music for Hannah Montana. Nevil gives great insight into the business that should be considered invaluable for aspiring musicians.

We are incredibly excited to be joined by Emmy-Nominated Composer, Michael D. Simon. Michael earned his Emmy nom composing the ABC series, Once Upon a Time, and has been working along side Cindy O'Connor & Mark Isham on the show basically since its inception. Jake and Michael discuss Once, and much more. Have a listen!

Today we sit down with Sound Designer Joseph Fraioli. He recently did his thang on the Film, "Kin" Starring Myles Truitt, James Franco, Zoë Kravitz, and Dennis Quaid. This movie is a Sci-Fi, futuristic thriller, so it goes without saying, sound design played a huge role in the film. We get into the inner-workings of the design on "Kin" and much more! Also up-top we talk to Devin Gati once again as he allows me to yell at him about today's hip-hop.....once again. Enjoy!

Today's guest is one of the hottest young composers in the business right now. Jacob Shea worked under Hans Zimmer for years honing his craft, until eventually becoming the lead guy at Bleeding Fingers Custom Music Shop. He has composed Blue Planet II as well as Planet Earth II and a plethora of others. Jake and Jacob chat about his beginnings, working under Hans, and the projects he has scored recently.
