Cinematic Sound Radio

The late, legendary composer John Barry was due to turn 90 on November 3, 2023. With host, Jason Drury and John Barry enthusiast Ian MacDonald, CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO is happy to present a special edition of TALKING SOUNDTRACKS in honour of this occasion. Before five-time Academy Award winner John Barry rose to prominence as a film composer, Ian MacDonald was already a fan of his. Ian got in touch with Jason towards the end of 2022, expressing his desire to discuss his admiration for John Barry's music and to share some of the anecdotes about the composer. In February 2023 via Zoom at his home in Bridgewater, Somerset, Jason chatted with Ian about John Barry’s iconic James Bond scores, Ian’s memories of the concerts and the time he met John Barry for the first time at a recording session at Abbey Road Studios, London. Throughout the show, we will also play music by John Barry, as chosen by today's guest, Ian MacDonald. Enjoy! —— Special thanks to our Patreon supporters: Matt DeWater, David Ballantyne, Jo

Welcome to a special Halloween-themed show of THE ARCHIVE on the CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO PODCAST. Your host Jason Drury has collaborated with famed soundtrack blogger, Jon Mansell, to create a show so scary, that Jason had to hide behind his chair while working on the voiceovers. The show's delights include music for THE LADY IN WHITE (Varese Sarabande Records) by composer/director Frank Laloggia, Krzysztof Komeda’s unusual work for Roman Polanski’s 1967 film THE FEARLESS VAMPIRE KILLERS (Power Bros Records) as well as Ennio Morricone’s excellent score for the not-so-excellent EXORCIST II: THE HERETIC (Warner Bros. Records). Jason and Jon also put under the spotlight music from Bronislau Kaper’s 1954 score for THEM (Monstrous Movie Music Records) and the classic Hammer horror with James Bernard’s main theme from DRACULA (Silva Screen). You'll also hear a suite from DRACULA PRINCE OF DARKNESS (Silva Screen) as well as Bruno Nicolai's theme for II CONTE DRACULA (Digitmovies). The show finishes off in a lighte

Today's guest on TALKING SOUNDTRACKS has composed music for more than thirty feature films, several TV shows, video games, and a lengthy ballet performed by the Finnish National Opera. His name is Panu Aaltio. Panu is most recognized for his poignant work on major nature documentaries, but his lyrical orchestral sound has also adorned dramatic scores, including SUPER FURBALL SAVES THE FUTURE and the exciting Baltic Sea adventure FINDERS OF THE LOST YACHT. Another of his recent projects is 5000 Blankets, released in the US at the end of 2022, which follows the story of a woman and her young son, who set out to find her husband when he goes missing after having a mental breakdown, which sparks a movement in their city. Jason Drury had the pleasure of speaking with Panu via cleanfeed in Helsinki, Finland, at the end of January 2023. They discussed his work for television and film, his award-winning music for nature documentaries, his aspirations for the future, and of course, his amazing score for 5000 BLANKE

Today I present to you the second episode of my new show for BUTE ISLAND RADIO. When I was producing the show, I had no idea what was going on behind the scenes and really had no idea that once I finished the show, it wouldn't be aired. Well, lucky for you. Here is that unaired episode. If you are unaware of what transpired with Bute Island Radio, I suggest you read my announcement post HERE and then read my resignation post HERE. For this second episode, which was to air on Wednesday, August 30th, I wanted to present music from INDIANA JONES AND THE DAIL OF DESTINY, which debuted on digital that very day! In addition, I wanted to play some music from other adventure scores. So, on the program today you'll hear selections from INDIANA JONES AND THE DIAL OF DESTINY (Williams), THE ADVENTURES OF DON JUAN (Steiner), KING SOLOMON'S MINES (Goldsmith), ASTÉRIX AUX JEUX OLYMPIQUES (Talgorn) and MICKEY, DONALD, GOOFY: THE THREE MUSKETEERS (Broughton). —— Special thanks to our Patreon supporters: Matt DeWater, Dav

Before I left Bute Island Radio, I produced two complete episodes, with one other episode still in the planning stages. One episode made it to air; the others did not. This was the episode that made it to air. This was the premiere episode of CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO for Bute Island Radio. If you are unaware of what transpired with Bute Island Radio, I suggest you read my announcement post HERE and then read my resignation post HERE. For my first episode on Bute Island Radio, I thought I'd take advantage of the popularity of MISSION IMPOSSIBLE and the recent release of MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - DEAD RECKONING PART ONE, and play music from Spy Films. On the program I played selections from MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE (Elfman), MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - DEAD RECKONING PART ONE (Balfe), MUNICH (Williams), NOTORIOUS (Webb), THE IPCRESS FILE (Barry), THE TAILOR OF PANAMA (Davey) and THE RUSSIA HOUSE (Goldsmith). This was the most fun I've had producing a program since my John Williams tribute a few years ago! I hope you enjoy the
