We’re back with the second of our Jurassic Park Rebirth specials to kick off your week. We released Edith’s chat with director Gareth Edwards a little earlier. Now it’s the turn of his composer Alexandre Desplat, who of course had to contend with the legacy of all the wonderful music associated with the franchise, not least John Williams’s iconic theme.
It’s another two show week here on Soundtracking, as first director Gareth Edwards and then composer Alexandre Desplat join us to discuss their work on Jurassic World: Rebirth. In this first of the interviews, Gareth gives us the inside line on how he got the gig, cast members peeing in mangrove swamps, and Alexandre’s last ditch efforts to land the choral section of the iconic Jurassic Park theme.
King Of The Drums, Antonio Sanchez, joins us to discuss his work on Apple TV+ hit, The Studio, and his seminal, groundbreaking score for Birdman. He is an absolute delight, and fascinating in his exploration of his process.
In the second interview marking the release of 28 Years Later, G & Kayus from Young Fathers join Edith to discuss the score for the film (miss you Alloyssious). We’ve already heard from director Danny Boyle, so be sure to check that interview out if you haven’t already. Danny is, as ever, in cracking form.
We’ve got two hits of Soundtracking for you to start your week, as we bring you a double-bill to celebrate the release of 28 Years Later. In our first episode, director Danny Boyle joins us to discuss the third film in the series, which stars Jodie Comer, Ralph Feinnes, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Erin Kellyman and Alfie Williams. 28 Years Later is scored by Young Fathers – who, by the way, are the subject of our second episode today
It’s bonus time once more for you on here Soundtracking, as music supervisor / producer / editor Cecile Tournesac & composers Alfie Godfrey and Max Aruj join us to discuss their formidable contribution to Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning. We’ve spoken to director Christopher McQuarrie on the podcast, who couldn’t have been more complimentary about their work on the movie. Hopefully, this chat with Cecile, Alfie and Max we’ll shed further light on how much thought went into the score, and how important it was to our viewing experience.
Our latest episode of Soundracking is with Neil Forsyth, writer of the hit BBC show The Gold – both seasons of which are now available to watch in full on the BBC iPlayer.

We are taking a deep dive into the world of Twin Peaks today with music editor Lori Eschler – who worked on the original series – and longtime David Lynch collaborator Dean Hurley, who did all kinds of work with him on numerous projects. It’s an illuminating chat, shedding bright light on David’s process and reminding us all what a seminal show it was and remains.

Our latest guest on Soundtracking is actor Benicio del Toro, who joins us to discuss his role in Wes Anderson’s latest film, The Phoenician Scheme.

As Korda embarks on a new enterprise, they soon become the target of scheming tycoons, foreign terrorists and determined assassins.
It’s bonus time, as we bring you a second episode of the week, recorded at Screen On The Green in Islington, London, as part of our Everyman Soundtracking Film Club. Edith is joined on stage by director, Babak Anvari, and actor Rosamund Pike to discuss Hallow Road following a screening of the movie. It tells the story of a married couple who receive a distressing late-night call from their teenage daughter, and set off in their car to find her. Communicating via mobile with her en route, events get progressively disturbing. Hallow Road is scored by Peter Adams and Lorne Balfe, who very kindly shared their as yet unreleased score with us.
We’re so excited to finally bringing you our latest episode of Soundtracking, as first showrunner Tony Gilroy and then composer Brandon Roberts join us to discuss season 2 of Andor, which is streaming now on Disney +. As anyone who listens to this podcast knows, we absolutely love this show, which relays the events leading up to the first Star Wars spinoff, Rogue One.
