    Bute Island Radio Unaired Episode 2 - Adventure Films

    Bute Island Radio Unaired Episode 2 - Adventure Films

    Today I present to you the second episode of my new show for BUTE ISLAND RADIO. When I was producing the show, I had no idea what was going on behind the scenes and really had no idea that once I finished the show, it wouldn't be aired. Well, lucky for you. Here is that unaired episode.


    If you are unaware of what transpired with Bute Island Radio, I suggest you read my announcement post HERE and then read my resignation post HERE.


    For this second episode, which was to air on Wednesday, August 30th, I wanted to present music from INDIANA JONES AND THE DAIL OF DESTINY, which debuted on digital that very day! In addition, I wanted to play some music from other adventure scores.


    So, on the program today you'll hear selections from INDIANA JONES AND THE DIAL OF DESTINY (Williams), THE ADVENTURES OF DON JUAN (Steiner), KING SOLOMON'S MINES (Goldsmith), ASTÉRIX AUX JEUX OLYMPIQUES (Talgorn) and MICKEY, DONALD, GOOFY: THE THREE MUSKETEERS (Broughton).

    Talking Soundtracks: Interview with Leigh Phillips - Part Two

    Talking Soundtracks: Interview with Leigh Phillips - Part Two

    Leigh Phillips is a composer, orchestrator, and producer with experience in creating unique compositions and orchestrations for media, concert performances, and CD recordings.


    In May 2023 for TALKING SOUNDTRACKS ON THE CINEMATIC SOUND PODCAST, Jason Drury had the pleasure of talking to Leigh Phillips from his home in Prague.


    In part one of our two-part conversation Leigh discussed his musical roots, how he got into orchestration work and score reconstruction, and how he began his association with James Fitzpatrick and Tadlow Records.


    Part two discusses his work on Goldsmith re-recordings such as BLACK PATCH and GENERAL ELECTRIC THEATRE, his thoughts on film music today, and his fears about the employment of artificial intelligence in future film soundtracks.


    As with part one, you will hear music that Leigh Phillips has orchestrated or composed just for these events to highlight his immense talent.

    Bute Island Radio Premiere Episode - Spy Films

    Bute Island Radio Premiere Episode - Spy Films

    Before I left Bute Island Radio, I produced two complete episodes, with one other episode still in the planning stages. One episode made it to air; the others did not. This was the episode that made it to air. This was the premiere episode of CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO for Bute Island Radio.


    If you are unaware of what transpired with Bute Island Radio, I suggest you read my announcement post HERE and then read my resignation post HERE.


    For my first episode on Bute Island Radio, I thought I'd take advantage of the popularity of MISSION IMPOSSIBLE and the recent release of MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - DEAD RECKONING PART ONE, and play music from Spy Films. On the program I played selections from MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE (Elfman), MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - DEAD RECKONING PART ONE (Balfe), MUNICH (Williams), NOTORIOUS (Webb), THE IPCRESS FILE (Barry), THE TAILOR OF PANAMA (Davey) and THE RUSSIA HOUSE (Goldsmith).


    This was the most fun I've had producing a program since my John Williams tribute a few years ago! I hope you enjoy the commentary and the selections.

    Scored To Death Radio: Movie Songs - Part 2

    In this episode of SCORED TO DEATH RADIO, host J. Blake Fichera steps away from his usual all-horror-all-the-time format and delivers a second instalment of the podcast exploring the marvellous musical world of movie songs. Focusing largely on the late 1970s and 1980s, this episode presents an eclectic playlist of songs spanning several different styles from an equally varied collection of films.


    Enjoy!

Great podcast

I recently discovered the Cinematic Sound Radio podcast, and while I’m happy to have found it, I’m disappointed I did not do so sooner!

I recently re-listened to Melodic Treks podcast with Brandon Shea-Mutala and Erik’s debate over which Goldsmith Trek score was better (First Contact or Nemesis - agree with FC though I love Insurrection as well) so that’s how I discovered this show.

What a wonderful podcast! I’ve listened to a few of the shows so far and I am currently listening to tribute to Basil Poledouris. Each show that I have listened to is filled with beautiful cinematic scores, excellent information about each piece & composer, trivia about why the composer did or did not create the piece, and excellent intro’s/outro’s for each segment.

I mean this in the greatest compliment, Erik’s show & coal stylings sound like CBC Radio Two classical music shows that I listened to growing up. I enjoy movie scores and believe that they are the classical music of our times. Thank you and Bravo!

I look forward to starting from the beginning and catching up. 5/5 stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Mr Safety ,

Really great podcast

For me, music is my favorite part of most movies and the thing I remember long after I have seen the film. Cinematic Sound Radio brings some of the BEST music from TV, cinema, and video games directly to you every week in a high quality audio podcast. I really have no reason not to recommend this podcast to music lovers of all stripes; particularly those of us who often enjoy the music as much, if not more than, the movies that feature them. 5/5

My favourite show bar none

This is my favourite podcast in a long list of subscriptions and by a fair margin. Erik’s insights and selections are brilliant.

I just listened to your heart to heart episode, Erik, and I felt really convicted about the fact that I hadn’t reviewed the show yet. Your work on this show means a great deal to me and it’s played a big part in lifting me out of some dark places. I want you to know that whatever the future holds for CSR, that this show and your work on it holds a really special place in my heart.

Thank you
