In this episode, we discuss articles about the nature of film music today. In addition, we have Part I of our interview with film scoring legend: Bruce Broughton! We finish with a comparison of Goldsmith’s Star Trek V and Britten’s Sea Interludes.

Streamers and Punches looks at Spotify, new commissions for film composers, an article about composer tech talk, and a current trend in scoring we call the “Running Strings.”

We discuss the growth of loop and sample technology as a driving force in music for film and television, as well as two summer superhero scores, Green Lantern by James Newton Howard, and Thor by Patrick Doyle.
