This time, we listened to and read Ringing the Changes by Robert Aickman. Robert Fordyce Aickman was an English conservationist and writer. As a conservationist, he played a key role in preserving and restoring England's inland canal system. As a writer, he is best known for his supernatural fiction, which he described as "strange stories."On his mother's side, Aickman was the grandson of the prolific Victorian novelist Richard Marsh. Marsh is known for his occult thriller The Beetle, a book as popular in its time as Bram Stoker's Dracula. Aickman is best known for his 48 "strange stories," published across eight volumes.Podcast favorite Jeremy Dyson has adapted Aickman's work in various forms. Listen to episode 8 for our most in-depth look at Jeremy's work. A musical version of Aickman's short story The Same Dog, co-written by Dyson and Joby Talbot, premiered in 2000 at the Barbican Concert Hall.In 2000, Dyson, along with his League of Gentlemen collaborator Mark Gatiss, adapted Ringing the Changes into a BBC Radio Four play, airing exactly twenty years after the CBC adaptation. This adaptation was intended to start a tradition of 'An Aickman Story for Halloween,' but unfortunately, it did not continue. Dyson also directed a 2002 short film based on Aickman's story The Cicerones, with Gatiss as the principal actor.It is this Dyson/Gatiss adaptation that we listened to for this episode. (Thanks to ‘Mysterious Magpie' for putting this up on YouTube so we could listen to it)The cast includes George Baker as Gerald. Baker is known for his roles in The Dam Busters as Flight Lieutenant D. J. H. Maltby, Tiberius in I, Claudius, D.C.I. Wexford in The Ruth Rendell Mysteries, Decider Logrin in the Doctor Who story Full Circle, and appearances in two James Bond films. Fiona Allen plays Phrynne. Allen is an actress and writer known for 24 Hour Party People, Smack the Pony, and Poirot. She has been married to Michael Parkinson since April 2001. This surprised Ross when writing this until he discovered it wasn't ‘That' Michael Parkinson (see episode 18 of this podcast for more about him). Instead, it's the patronymic son of the chat show legend, whom she met while he was working as a location manager on Smack the Pony. Confused? I am! Friend of the show Mark Gatiss appears as the Narrator and Mr. Pascoe, the landlord. Commandant Shortcroft is played by Michael Cochrane, known for his role in 280 episodes of The Archers, Arnold (Private Godfrey) Ridley in We're Doomed! The Dad's Army Story, and for playing three different characters in three different episodes of Heartbeat.Barbara Shelley plays Mrs. Pascoe. Known to our podcast listeners for her portrayal of Barbara Judd in the Hammer version of Quatermass and the Pit (reviewed in episode 34), she also starred in The Village of the Damned (which we need to review soon), Dracula: Prince of Darkness (one of the Dracula films we still need to cover), Rasputin: The Mad Monk, The Gorgon, and the 1958 Hammer wannabe Blood of the Vampire, written by Jimmy Sangster. She also appeared in both Blake's 7 and Doctor Who— as I'm sure James is dying to know, we can tell you she played Sorasta in Planet of Fire and was considered for the role of Tanha in Snakedance… but that's enough Doctor Who for now… Get bonus content on PatreonSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/general-witchfinders.

Wonka is a 2023 musical fantasy film directed by Paul King, who co-wrote the screenplay with Simon Farnaby based on a story by King. It tells the origin story of Willy Wonka, a character in the 1964 novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl, featuring his early days as a chocolatier. The film stars Timothée Chalamet in the title role and an ensemble cast including Calah Lane, Keegan-Michael Key, Paterson Joseph, Matt Lucas, Mathew Baynton, Sally Hawkins, Rowan Atkinson, Jim Carter, Natasha Rothwell, Olivia Colman, and Hugh Grant. It is the third live-action film based on Dahl's novel, following Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971) and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005). Development began after Warner Bros. Pictures reacquired the rights to the character in October 2016 and announced that the film would serve as an origin story. While the film tells a standalone story with no connection to prior adaptations, King developed Wonka to exist as a "companion piece" to the 1971 film by reprising some of the music, thematic elements, and visual design of the Oompa Loompas. In May 2021, Chalamet was confirmed to be portraying Wonka and the supporting cast were announced in September of that year. Filming began in the United Kingdom in September 2021, taking place in Warner Bros. Studios, Leavesden, in Watford, as well as Oxford, Lyme Regis, Bath, St Albans and at the Rivoli Ballroom in Crofton Park, London. The original songs for the film were contributed by Neil Hannon, while its original score was provided by Joby Talbot. Wonka had its world premiere in London at the Royal Festival Hall, Southbank Centre, on November 28, 2023. It was released in the United Kingdom on December 8 and in the United States on December 15 by Warner Bros. Pictures. The film has grossed $469 million worldwide and received generally positive reviews from critics. For his performance, Chalamet was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy. The film also received two Critics' Choice Award nominations for Best Young Actor/Actress for Lane & Costume Design. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/popcorn-junkies/message
Min 5: EL FILTRO DE LA NIEVE Por fin tenemos la oportunidad de salir de dudas. Llega el momento de "La sociedad de la nieve", la ambiciosa revisión que JA Bayona ha hecho de la histora que Frank Marshall nos contó en "Viven" (1993). En enero llega a Netflix, es la gran favorita a los Goya y según la crítica tiene serias opciones de pujar por un nuevo Oscar para España. Una coproducción España-EEUU que tienen vista y rumiada Alberto Luchini y Raquel Hernández, que tendrán que explicarnos por qué es para tanto la peli más arriesgada y valiosa del director de "El Orfanato", "Lo Imposible" o "Un Monstruo viene a verme". min 17: CAMPEONES vs CHAMPIONS. ¿Te imaginas que Hollywood se encaprichase de la brillante idea que Javier Fesser tuvo con la laureada "Campeones" y hacen su propia versión made in USA? Pues lo que ha hecho Bobby Farrelly es una comedia irregular que clona algunos de los momentos más reconocibels de la original y en la que Woody Harrelson es el émulo americano de nuestro Javier Gutiérrez. Sin pelos en la lengua ponemos a "Champions" en el lugar que le corresponde. MIn 22: "LA ESPERA": CINE PEGADO A LA TIERRA Otra de las apuestas españolas que no podemos dejar pasar nos devuelve ese cine auténtico e intenso que remueve nuestras raíces y que sigue el legado de Borau, Camus o el primer Saura. En "La espera" F. Javier Gutiérrez convierte a Victor Clavijo en una guarda de finca que tendrá que pagar las consecuencias de un soborno maldito. min 27: GOLDA, UN BIOPIC PARA MUY CAFETEROS Y acabamos repaso a la cartelera con el biopic que Guy Nattiv ha llevado a la pantalla para sacar brillo a la labor de Golda Meir, "La Dama de Hierro de Israel", a la que caracteriza más allá del deber una de nuevo impecable Helen Mirren. min 32: BSO: WONKA sabe a musical Navideño Clásica, emotiva, vitalista, tierna, emocionante y por momentos brillante. La banda sonora que Joby Talbot ha compuesto para el "Wonka" de Paul King parece sacada del baúl de los mejores musicales navideños. Con Ángel Luque valoramos la alta calidad musical de la película que está cautivando a miles de espectadores y familias en esta prenavidad. Si el escritor Roald Dahl levantara la cabeza es muy posible que se emocionara con la partitura que Talbot le ha regalado a su Willy Wonka. ¿Te animas a comprobarlo?
It's a Wonka special for you today, as writer director Paul King, songwriter Neil Hannon and composer Joby Talbot join Edith to discuss their origin story of the eccentric chocolate maker, who is brilliantly played by Timothée Chalamet. It's a beautiful, all-singing, all-dancing spectacular, with all the characteristic charm of Paul's work, and with fine contributions from Neil and Joby.
Presenter Sara Mohr-Pietsch explores the musical legacy of the Windrush generation, as part of the BBC's coverage of the 75th anniversary of HMT Empire Windrush's arrival at Tilbury Docks on 22nd June 1948. The composer Shirley J. Thompson joins Sara to discuss a new piano version of her one-singer opera with film, Women of the Windrush, and we hear specially recorded excerpts from the work by soprano Nadine Benjamin and pianist Caroline Jaya-Ratnam. The composers Errollyn Wallen and Des Oliver talk, too, about their own family connections and musical influences, and we hear the story of Belizean folk singer Nadia Cattouse as told by her son, Level 42 keyboardist Mike Lindup. The French-Canadian conductor Nicole Paiement, Founder and Artistic Director of Opera Parallèle in San Francisco, speaks to Sara from her home over-looking the bay while preparing to give the UK premiere of Joby Talbot and Gene Scheer's opera Everest - a work which tells the harrowing story of climbers caught in a blizzard in 1996 - in what will be a semi-staged version with the BBC Symphony Orchestra. Plus the conductor, composer and arranger Nigel Brooks discusses his life in music, from his first job during a Proms performance of music by Vaughan Williams with the BBC Singers in 1950, to his own group the Nigel Brooks Singers, and what drives him to continue writing music - including an orchestral piece inspired by that first Proms appearance - at the age of 96.
This week's guest wins the award for most glamorous location for a live link up - It's internationally renowned ‘cellist Matthew Barley and he's in the rainforests of Brazil!Matthew kindly took time away from his holiday to chat with Seb and Verity about his soon to be released album Electric. This album brings together a unique collection of works for cello and electronics from the last 40 years and features compositions by the likes of Anna Meredith, Joby Talbot, Jonathan Harvey and Oded Ben-Tal.Matthew talks about the joys of being hands on through the editing process, how he grapples with letting go of imperfections whilst constantly striving for improvements. He also chats about his ‘Around Britten' tour and the weird and wonderful venues he performed in - think caves, a lighthouse & a swimming pool amongst others!They also discuss the conundrum of getting audiences into contemporary music concerts and Matthew's excitement/trepidation at recording his own compositions for the first time….There are classic Zencastr issues which present in the form of a healthy two second delay. Seb has worked his editing magic on it but there may be a few eggy moments which we can assure you are purely tech related….we hope!Tracks featured in this episode:Noticing Things: II.

Joby Talbot is the only living composer to have written the music for three full-length ballets for The Royal Ballet in London. In this sixth episode of Composing Myself Wise Music CEO and Creative Director Dave Holley and Gill Graham catch up with the genre-bending maestro to talk about his “horrible” jobs before he became a composer (Night shift at the local mortuary! Laundry at a mental institution!), working with Nigel Godrich and their close professional bond, the key differences between composing for animations versus live action projects, the culinary genesis of the Like Water For Chocolate ballet score, and the upside-down sensibility of composing for choreography - “you're trying to give a platform for the choreographer and the dancers to do their thing, without knowing what that thing is”. -----http://www.jobytalbot.comhttps://www.instagram.com/jobytalbotmusic/-----Joby Talbot was born in London in 1971. He studied composition privately with Brian Elias and at Royal Holloway and Bedford New College, before completing a Master of Music (Composition) at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama under Simon Bainbridge.Talbot's diverse catalogue includes full-length narrative ballets (Alice's Adventures in Wonderland , 2011; The Winter's Tale, 2014) and contemporary dance works (Chroma, 2007); small- and large-scale choral and vocal works (The Wishing Tree, 2002; Path of Miracles, 2005; A Sheen of Dew on Flowers, 2019); orchestral pieces (Sneaker Wave, 2004; Chacony in G Minor, 2011; Worlds, Stars, Systems, Infinity, 2012); concerti (Desolation Wilderness, 2006; Ink Dark Moon, 2018); and scores for the screen (The Lodger, 1999; The Dying Swan, 2002; Vampyr, 2018).Talbot's critically acclaimed first opera, Everest, was given its premiere in 2015 by The Dallas Opera. His second opera based on the true story The Diving Bell and The Butterfly, a further collaboration with librettist Gene Sheer, premieres in November 2023. Like Water for Chocolate, Talbot's third narrative ballet with Christopher Wheeldon premiered in June 2022 at The Royal Ballet and will be presented by partner commissioner ABT, in March 2023 in Costa Mesa and at the Metropolitan Opera in New York in June 2023.

Miloš Karadaglić — The Moon & the Forest (Decca) Jump to CD giveaway form “Joby Talbot's piece Ink Dark Moon is a modern masterpiece and Howard Shore's concerto, The Forest, has a classical elegance to it,” said guitarist Miloš Karadaglić about the two new guitar concertos composed for him and his new album, The Moon & the Forest. Also featured on the album is Canada’s National Arts Centre Orchestra, conducted by Alexander Shelley, and the BBC Symphony Orchestra, led by Ben Gernon. Why do you consider this new recording your personal fairy tale come true? “Ever since I started recording, it's been my dream to inspire composers to write guitar pieces. To have those composers, Howard Shore and Joby Talbot, to write for me has really been a dream come true.” Tell us about the musical journey we hear in Talbot’s Ink Dark Moon? “Everything I heard reminded me of the moon. I said to Talbot that in the second movement, particularly how the open strings evolve from lighter textures, to richness then suddenly emptiness, is similar to the phases of the moon. I am also reminded of how the moon transforms nightly with shades of gray and blue which are so intense and seductive.” How does the orchestration and the guitar line in the third movement break the glass ceiling of possibilities? “I don't have to be a shy guitarist all the time. I said, ‘Give me fireworks.’ I want to break my nails and fingers and play like there's no tomorrow. He came up with passages which are incredibly fast and loud which are also difficult to play. The piece really just explodes. That's why I say it's breaking a glass ceiling. Every time I've played it live or in the studio I felt it is the best thing I have played. It's just so much fun.” How did the Canadian National Art Center commission Howard Shore to write The Forest for you? “I remember during the 2014-15 concert season, I was playing The Aranjuez Concerto all over the world, and one of the performances was in Munich with the wonderful young British conductor Alexander Shelley. It was such a success that afterwards we where talking about collaboration in the future and thought, ‘Why don't we ask Howard Shore?’ Also, while I was learning Shore’s concerto I would come across references to other works which were like little fossils you would find inside a rock. Can you give me an example of some of the references that you found in this concerto? “There is an interesting reference to the theme from The Aranjuez Concerto in the tutti section of the second movement. I asked Shore afterward, ‘Why did you do that?’ and he responded, ‘I wanted to honor composer Joaquín Rodrigo for writing one of the most beautiful pieces ever written, not just for guitar, but in the whole world. Also, because of this piece, I am here with you writing another work.’” To hear the rest of my conversation, click on the extended interview above, or download the extended podcast on iTunes or wherever you get your podcasts.

Melvin Burgess, who's been dubbed the Godfather of Young Adult fiction, talks about his new book The Lost Witch about a teenage girl who discovers she has magical powers.A record-breaking 3.6 million people watched this year's Love Island final.

In Thursday's Prom concert at the Royal Albert Hall Milŏs Karadaglíc will give the world premiere of Ink Dark Moon, a guitar concerto written for him by Joby Talbot. Milŏs plays live in the Front Row studio, and the pair discuss the relationship between musician and composer. They consider, too, the range of a modern musician's work: Milŏs has recorded classics beyond the classical repertoire - an album of tunes by The Beatles - and Joby writes ballet music, has composed an opera and arranged music for Tom Jones and The Divine Comedy.Brian Friel's Translations is enjoying a sell-out run at the National Theatre; when it comes to an end Aristocrats will open at the Donmar Theatre. Philadelphia Here I Come!, Faith Healer, Dancing at Lughnasa - there is almost always a Friel play on somewhere. All of them are set in Ballybeg (which means 'small town' in Irish) and most are family dramas. Roy Foster, Professor of Irish history and literature, teases out why Friel's domestic dramas of Donegal hold such universal appeal.

In the latest Gramophone Podcast, guitarist Miloš Karadaglić talks to Editor in Chief James Jolly, telling him about the new concerto by Joby Talbot that he's premiering at the Proms on August 2, and his new book 'Play Guitar with Miloš', which is available now from Schott.
Without wishing to sound sycophantic, it's hard to imagine a more humble talent that Garth Jennings. During this episode, he and Edith discuss many of his extraordinary creative endeavours - though on hearing the conversation you'd be forgiven for thinking he'd had next to nothing to do with any of them at all. Don't be fooled. Having founded production company Hammer & Tongs with Dominic Leung and Nick Goldsmith in 1993, Garth has been instrumental in a string of iconic music videos and also written and directed Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy, Son of Rambow and most recently Sing. Oh yes, he's penned a children's book too. Expect music from composer Joby Talbot, Blur, Fatboy Slim, Betty Wright and more.

Dive into a fun and inspiring chat with composer Joby Talbot. Joby's diverse career and versatile talents have led to a multitude of memorable scores such as for The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, Penelope, Son Of Rambow and now Sing. We discuss Joby's path to film scoring and how he approaches certain genres of films. We delve into Sing, which is the newest film from Illumination Entertainment who brought us Despicable Me and Minions. Joby talks about the challenge of creating a score for a film that has pop songs and musical numbers throughout. He also discusses his ongoing collaboration with director Garth Jennings across the films they have worked on together. Joby brings his unique voice as a composer into all of his music and it was such a blast to dissect his process with him.

This week was a podcast made on the run! With both hosts getting sick at different intervals and one host going out of town, it's a wonder that such quality audio comes together at all. With that in mind, please forgive us for any inconsistencies in quality. Week in Geek: Andrew buys a dictator simulator on a Steam sale while Dan accidentally preorders a book twice and laments the amount of Gamecubes seen at a local swap meet. Ready Player One: Steven Spielberg was recently announced as the director for the film adaptation of the nerd-favorite novel. Considering the book was written by a huge fan of '70s and '80s gaming culture, can that translate to the screen and be as impactful with Speilberg at the helm? Fans and their Fiction: It's widely known that nerdy fans express their appreciation for their beloved stories in many different ways. This week, we examine how fans contribute to the fictions they love so much and many of the implication involved with doing that. Douglas Adams: We couldn't ignore the fact that we're in the middle of episode 42 and not mention Douglas Adams. Conveniently, we make the argument that Mr. Adams is also the most successful fan fiction writer...of himself. Question of the Geek: With regard to creating original work in a pre-existing fiction, which would you like to create for? Leave your answers in the comments for this page at forall.libsyn.com. You may also leave your answers on our official Facebook an Google+ pages, and join in on the conversations there. Feel free to also e-mail us at forallpod [at] gmail.com.
