Movie Music on the World Wide Web

As much as you’d probably like to, we know you can’t spend all of your Internet time on the STC website. So here’s a few other things that might hold your interest until the next STC News update:

StageAndScreenOnline.com has posted their latest composer interview with none other than our hero, Dario Marianelli. S&SO regularly posts great interviews with big-name composers and industry types, but this one is especially good. 45 minutes of pure Dario, talking about his transition from concert works to scoring, his relationship w/ director Joe Wright, his upcoming projects, and lots more. Check it out.

APMMusic.com also puts out a pretty great podcast. It’s called, appropriately, the APM Film & TV Music podcast, and it’s also got lots of great movie music interviews. The latest edition features a nice chat with Alan Menken, the 8-time Oscar winner and resurrector of the Disney musical. Enjoy!

Plus, this week’s STC Previews show is up, with some sassy reviews by Mieke Buchan of THE EYE, STRANGE WILDERNESS, OVER HER DEAD BODY and CARAMEL, with a First Glimpse at the big screen adaptation of MAMMA MIA! (The exclamation point is a part of the title. I didn’t put it there. I’m not excited about it at all.)
