Q. You basically approached the music [of The Sender] then from a psychological point of view rather than just scoring the horror. The music was more subtle as far as getting beneath the surface. A. 1:45
Q. How did you become involved with THE DARK CRYSTAL, and during what point in production did you start work? A. 2:50
Q. That obviously benefits the work you’re able to do because you have more time to become part of the film rather than an afterthought like often is the case. A. 4:00
Q. How closely did you work with the filmmakers in establishing the kind of music they wanted for DARK CRYSTAL? A. 4:49
Q. I’m reminded of the scene where they’re going down the river and you have these electronic sounds, which is really an impressive little piece. It both fit the scene and yet had a new texture… A. 6:00
Q. How would you describe, musically and orchestrally, the score’s thematic elements as they did evolve symphonically. A. 6:36
Q. Would you describe the type of electronic sounds desired for DARK CRYSTAL and how they were created and put to use? A. 8:58
Q. One final question on DARK CRYSTAL. I like the Pod Village music. What traditions did you draw upon for this festive material, and did it entail any kind of research? A. 12:00
