Composer Magazine Podcast

Dave Porter is THE BEST!!! Thanks for choosing to interview one of the most original and gifted composers of our (and ALL) time.

I love listening to composers talk about their work. But honestly, I feel like questions like “how do you celebrate the end of a job?” And “were you aware of the enormity of the role you were stepping into” are bound to have uninteresting answers. This is presumably a podcast for fellow composers, how about questions like: “How did you get your first gig? Who took a chance on you?” “What’s the best way to cut through?” “What are your favorite pieces of software and what is the combination of real versus VST in this or that score?” Get into the details! You have access to these very successful people. They’ve been flattered more than enough, let’s actually learn from them! Thanks for doing this podcast :)

I realize the podcast format is usually talking, etc … yet this feels like memories of the old school talk radio interviews I remember hearing in my earlier years (for me this is a good thing) I adore the episodes - really liked the Breaking Bad composer So glad I checked this out

I’ve been a subscriber to Composer Magazine and enjoyed it but the podcast format is SO much better for the subject matter. This inaugural episode is fantastic and the inclusion of bits of score is simply marvelous.
