“Art is here for all of us and it's for everyone. If you want to go and make art for the rest of your life, go and make art for the rest of your life.” - Alec Harrison

The Sound Behind the Screen:

Guest Alec Harrison pulls back the curtain on the invisible art that makes films breathe. From a life-changing encounter with armless drummer and speaker Alvin Law to a lifelong career scoring documentaries, global sports broadcasts, and cinematic experiences, Harrison reveals how music becomes the emotional engine behind the films and TV that we love.

He walks through the workflow of a modern composer; studying rough cuts like a detective, decoding temp tracks, collaborating with directors, and shaping sound to story long before audiences ever notice it. The conversation moves from scrappy early gigs to recording orchestras overseas, the secrecy of high-profile projects, the shift to digital studios, and why human storytelling still matters in an AI-saturated world. His story is a journey into how music quietly tells us what to feel, and why the right notes can turn moving images into unforgettable moments
