This week we give the listener a second view into the mind of Rolfe Kent, composer of films like Sideways, Wedding Crashers, Up In the Air, About Schmidt, Theory of Flight, Gun Shy, Thank You for Smoking, Reign Over Me, and Ghosts of Girlfriends Past. Mr. Kent has made himself and integral team member of directors like Alexander Payne, Jason Bateman, and Jason Reitman since 1989, making his resume one of the most robust in the film scoring world. His work shows a range of musical style that helps give the final step in dark comedies that are much more complex than they seem. At the same time, he is able to fluidly move between traditional rock, jazz, and American classical, orchestral arrangements to include all manner of instrumentation from all over the world. Even with all of these techniques, his film scores are always a fantastic listen. He is a chameleon that perfectly adapts to the films needs and gives depth to funny, yet complicated characters. If you have not taken the time to hear some of Rolfe Kents work outside of his films, you owe it to yourself to do so. Take some time to hear what drives him in his work, and why he loves what he does so much. It certainly shows in the end result. This is part two of Mr. Kents interview he was gracious enough to give Alex and OMPS. Be sure to check out part one from last week, and stay tuned for our own retrospective for part three. Sit back, relax, get some popcorn, and listen to Original Motion Picture Soundtrack.
