Episode 387: Hildur Guðnadóttir On The Music Of A Haunting In Venice
She's back, with that infectious laugh of hers, and we couldn't be more delighted. Hildur Guðnadóttir is one of my very favourite composers of film music, and she joins me to discuss Kenneth Branagh's latest take on Agatha Christie, A Haunting In Venice. Darker and more claustrophobic than the previous two Poirot mysteries he directed and starred in, A Haunting In Venice sees the Belgian detective investigate a murder while attending a Halloween seance at a palazzo in the floating city.

Episode 386: Charlotte Regan On The Music Of Scrapper
Continuing our recent theme of featuring low-budget British films on Soundtracking, our latest guest is Charlotte Regan, writer and director of the superb Scrapper. Featuring a remarkable central performance by 11-year-old Lola Campbell, Scrapper tells the story of Georgia, who is forced to confront a new domestic reality when, among other things, her estranged father turns up out of nowhere. The film is scored by Patrick Jonsson, who was kind enough to share some of his as yet unreleased cues for us.

Episode 385: Ryan Hendrick On The Music Of Mercy Falls
For the second week running, we're celebrating a low budget British film. Last week, writer/director Neil Maskell and composer Andy Pettitt joined me to discuss Neil's Klokkenluider, while this week Ryan Hendrick is here to discuss his horror thriller, Mercy Falls. Set in the Scottish Highlands, it sees a group of friends head off in search of a long lost cabin, only for tragedy to strike and carnage to ensue. Mercy Falls is scored by Stephen Wright, and Ryan was very kind to furnish us with a couple of his yet unreleased cues.

Customer Reviews
I adore this podcast (however….)
This podcast has fast become one of my absolute favourites and go-tos! It’s the only film score podcast I listen to and I’m a HUGE film music nerd! Stunning work by Edith.
The only, only reason there is a star missing is I feel the use of musical excerpts are a bit heavy handed - they are very frequent and long. For me they break up the flow of the conversation which is why I love podcasts. It’s lovely to have them, but in my opinion they dominate the podcast a little more than they should - just my 2 cents! 💚
Favourite podcast
I don’t know anyone who’s ‘in to’ film & tv music, so I’m so happy I’ve found a podcast! Even more happy Edith’s presenting (what a lovely person) and very impressed with the execution - well done, please never stop!
Love music, love films
I’m amazed that I hadn’t caught on to this podcast series. I love film and I love soundtracks. This is such a great podcast! (Also, would love to be work on content creation or brainstorm on podcasts like this)
