Lalo Schifrin's "Mission Impossible" theme on #SoundOfCinema , it's basically the WHOLE film, you could play it over a blank screen or footage of "A Country Kitchen " and it'd still be exciting

I should be doing that re the appallingly idiotised #SoundOfCinema.

A very sad day for regular listeners of #BBCRadio3’s #SoundOfCinema. Great to see one of favourite pieces of music on the final list.

A massive thank you to @drmatthewsweet.bsky.social for entertaining us for 12 years! Tune in one last time at 4PM today: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

This afternoon’s #BBCRadio3’s #SoundOfCinema with @drmatthewsweet.bsky.social looks at the work of French film composer Georges Auric (1899-1983).

Plenty of great films under his baton. And the odd French #FilmNoir as well. Tune in on Radio and on #BBCSounds, 4PM: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

John Barry 🧵👇, singularly more informative than the newly-dumbed-down #SoundOfCinema.
Composer John Barry, BOTD in 1933 (d. 2011), is best known as the man behind the sound of 007.
Barry scored 11 James Bond films, yet it was his non-Bond work that earned him 5 Oscars and numerous other accolades during his long career as a leading film composer.

Five minutes into #SoundOfCinema on #BBCRadio3, it's now a drinking game, a shot for every superlative, a double for "iconic" and I'm already pissed*

I see Walter Murch is the #SoundOfCinema repeat this afternoon. #BBCRadio3. Well worth another delve.

John Barry called it "million dollar Micky Mouse music". It is snatches of genius, sound bites of dopamine inducing greatness. Pair it with the right contextually perfect images and it is pure alchemy; *hugely* culturally significant. And Williams is one of the best alchemists. #FilmSky
Composer John Williams says he ‘never liked film music very much’
