Conrad was orchestrator for John Williams in the 1990s until the first decade of the 2000s, working on scores such as Jurassic Park, The Lost World, the Star Wars prequel trilogy, the three Williams-scored Harry Potter films and many others. Given this privileged position, he developed a unique insight into Williams’ approach to film scoring and working methods.These are some of the topics we discussed at length in this engaging and fun conversation I hope you will enjoy.
