Interview: Ryan Amon (Elyisum)

Composer Ryan Amon, composer of the original score for ELYSIUM, dives deeper into the incredible story of how this project all started with an email from director Neil Blomkamp, the unique amount of creative freedom given to him to write and his experience in recording at Abbey Road Studios.
