  1. David Arnold - The World Is Not Enough (Garbage)

    David Arnold - The World Is Not Enough (Garbage)

    What a cracking guest to open season two of Songstripper! David Arnold scored five Bond films, the 2012 Olympics closing ceremony and countless other Hollywood blockbusters as well as having pop success with Bond title songs recorded by the band Garbage and the late Chris Cornell of Soundgarden.   Tim and Phil were lucky enough to chat in person with David in December 2020 before the latest UK lockdown. He even pushed Tim off the piano to illustrate his scoring style and how he mixes sweeping orchestras with cutting edge dance music technology.  We concentrate his wit and wisdom on ‘The World Is Not Enough’ with lyrics, by the maestro of lyricists Don Black, and how the unusual collaboration with Garbage came together whilst working across continents.  Tim and Phil ask the question "how did a six form student working in a video rental store in Luton come to dominate Hollywood?" https://facebook.com/songstrippr https://twitter.com/songstripper https://instagram.com/songstripper https://anchor.fm/songstripper
