Paul Pilot Blank Podcast with Giles Paley-Phillips & Jim Daly

Paul Pilot aka Paul Wilkinson is musician, composer and producer from Northern Ireland. Best known for his band The Amazing Pilots and his recent film scores on documentaries like Finding Oscar and Netflix production The Final Cut for Orson, Paul has been a producer and sound engineer on works by Duke Special, Athlete, Rue Royale and All the Luck in the World. He is also the composer of our very own Blank Podcast title music.




Paul is based in Berlin and so meeting up to record had always been difficult to arrange so, a remote recording was always on the cards.




We started our chat by talking about expensive microphones and how much of a difference they make to the fine margins in vocal recordings. Paul tells about his own creative process and how we often find it hard to be satisfied with what we've made.




We discussed his time as a kid growing up in Northern Ireland during the troubles and his desire to eventually seek a career in music by moving away.




Paul tells us about collaboration and what it is like to be in a band with your brother.
