Studio Soundtracks takes listeners behind the scenes of how music is crafted for film and television by hearing directly from composers, songwriters and music professionals in the Entertainment Industry. Listen to inspiring conversations about composition and hear works from Emmy, Grammy, and Oscar-winning film scores on the show. BRENDAN ANGELIDES Brendan Angelides' (formerly known as ESKMO) arrival at the world of scoring in 2016 was exactly the opportunity he had been hoping for. It felt conducive to the narrative process and sonic aesthetic he had developed in his work as a recording artist, being deeply in the mindset of The Echo Society, a collaborative of local Los Angeles artists and composer, at the time and recognizing the potential of his sound within a visual framework. Since 2016, Angelides has written the soundtracks for seven seasons of Billions, as well as Echoes (Netflix), Super Pumped (Showtime) and the 2021 film Naked Singularity. While scoring the four seasons of Netflix's celebrated 13 Reasons Why, he collaborated with Selena Gomez to produce a cover of Yazoo's “Only You.” In 2023, Angelides' embrace of new creative territories expands again as he presents his first video game score with Assassin's Creed: Mirage. Bringing his electronic artistry to the Ubisoft adventure set in ninth century Baghdad, Angelides worked with musicians connected with the region and culture including the New York Arabic Orchestra and Tunisian artist Emel Mathlouthi, whose viral protest song during the Arab Spring inspired the theme for Mirage's courageous female lead. The year also marks Angelides' most ambitious project with The Echo Society to date. Their soundtrack to director Darren Aronofsky's forthcoming film ‘Postcard from Earth' was showcased at the world's largest 4K screen at the Sphere, Las Vegas, across 160,000 speakers and 1600 subwoofers. NIMA FAKHRARA Iranian-born composer Nima Fakhrara has honed his craft for nearly twenty years by scoring more than 100 feature films, multiple AAA game franchises and international television shows, as well as crafting commercial music for boutique brands. This massive body of work led acclaimed director Anna Forester to tap Nima as composer for Bad Robot's latest feature film LOU (2022, starring Academy Award winner Allison Janney). His unique blend of East-meets-West and command of striking, sonic textures and timbres led gaming legend David Cage to select him to compose the music for 2018's wildly successful and critically acclaimed DETROIT BECOME HUMAN and the announcement to the Star Wars video game franchise ECLIPSE. Other gaming credits include WARHAMMER: SPACE MARINES 2, RESIDENT EVIL: REVELATIONS 2 and 1979 REVOLUTION. While his music is found all over the American media landscape, the composer's musical journey started back in Tehran at age five. Young Nima lugged his santur up six flights of stairs for each lesson with a master instructor. This early education imbued Fakhrara with a firm grasp of Persian classical music, an unyielding discipline, and a knack for complex rhythms. After moving to the Washington DC area at age 12, Fakhrara later earned a degree in composition from California State University while simultaneously studying ethnomusicology and Music Anthropology. Studio Soundtracks is made possible in part by the generous support of Spitfire Audio, makers of inspiring sounds and scoring tools for film, in collaboration with the world's best composers, musicians and engineers.

Of all the actors to get a John Wick-ian action vehicle, Allison Janney might just be the last one on your list. And yet, here we are with Anna Foerster's Lou, the straight-to-Netflix action thriller starring the West Wing legend, now transformed into a former CIA fixer who's given up the life for an isolated existence on a remote coastal island. But her skills are needed once more when her neighbor (Jurnee Smollett) comes to her in the middle of a rainstorm for help: Her daughter's been kidnapped, and her dangerous ex-husband (Logan Marshall-Green) is the culprit. Together, the two must track them through the mud-soaked forest, Lou calling on her particular set of skills to do one last bit of good. It's a dark, grimy, psychologically complex thriller, with its crackling corners illuminated by Nima Fakhrara's richly textured score. The Iranian-born composer has worked on everything from video games like Detroit: Become Human to ad campaigns for Balenciaga. His work is characterized by his incredible use of synths and staggered, rhythmic vocals. His score for 2019's Becky, another action thriller involving a transformed character actor (Kevin James), is a muscular, primal scream of a score. Lou follows in a quieter permutation of that tradition. Clacking percussion, halting vocals, and tape-scratch elements from 1980s cassette recordings all culminate in a haunting sound that feels like the lost memories of an aging warrior. And today, we've got Nima Fakhrara on the podcast to talk about his musical history, his experiences on Lou, and the innovative techniques he used to bring the score to life. (We'll also hear a few exclusive track commentaries from the score.) You can find Nima Fakhrara at his official website here. Lou is currently streaming on Netflix You can also listen to the score on your preferred music streaming service courtesy of Netflix Music.
Film and video game composer Nima Fakhrara (Detroit: Become Human; Becky) joins the show to talk about, among other things: diversity in film music, the necessity of being genuine in everything you create, and a few of his latest projects. Find out more about Nima on his website. Many of Nima's film and video game scores are available on all major streaming platforms.

Detroit: Become Human is a detailed sci-fi narrative with some of Quantic Dream's most ambitious music to date. In order to best score the story's three playable characters, a trio of top tier composers joined the project – each focusing on one thread of an interweaving narrative. For Connor – an android police investigator – Nima Fahkrara mixed an array of hardware synths and custom instruments with electric strings to great effect. Philip Sheppard, known for lavish orchestral arrangements, made the very best of Abbey Road and his own inspiration for Kara's emotional arc. Finally, John Paesano – who gamers may know best for Marvel's Spider-Man – wrote soaring, almost biblical themes to accompany Markus. Though unable to schedule a conversation with John Paesano, I'm fortunate enough to be joined by both Nima Fahkrara and Philip Sheppard throughout this episode. Together, we'll explore their different soundtracks for Detroit: Become Human, the production processes that fuelled them and some thoughts about composing for games in general. Both Nima and Philip have worked extensively in other mediums, and have some interesting perspectives on how they adapt to the world of VGM.

They may survive or perish depending on dialogue choices that shape the story as customized by the player.In this episode of THE ANNOTATOR, Nima Fakhrara, over 8 tracks of his work, opens up about his main challenge of writing music for one of the games main characters, CONNOR. He talks about how, while creating something cold and robotic, he also needed his music for this android investigator to evoke emotion. That challenge was increased by choosing to use only synths and electronics to accomplish this. Nima Fakhara also talks about how Connor's music is the type of music he believes an android might create for themself.ANNOTATED TRACKS03:22 - Hostage05:19 - Your Choice09:27 - Now11:41 -They All Look the Same15:17 - I Trust You15:31 - Meet Markus18:08 - Wake Up19:32 - Connor SuiteSOUNDTRACKThe original score has not been released.MORE ABOUT THE COMPOSERYou can also hear more music and find out more about Nima Fakhrara at his official site (https://nimafilmmusic.com/) or follow the composer on twitter @ostadnimaABOUT THE ANNOTATORProduced by Christopher Coleman (@ccoleman) and you can Find more episodes at THEANNOTATOR.NET or you can subscribe via iTunes, Stitcher Radio or wherever you find quality podcasts.FOLLOW USTwitter @audioannotatorFacebook @TheAnnotatorEmail theannotatorpodcast@gmail.comSUBSCRIBEiTunesSpotifyStitcher RadioGoogle Play PodcastsRSS Feed

Welcome the newest episode of Dark Discussions, your place for the discussion of horror film, fiction, and all that’s fantastic. Ed Sanchez, one of the co-director's of The Blair Witch Project, has been quite prolific since that ridiculously huge indy hit. Though he hasn't gotten a wide release of his films since, he has directed a number of gems including Altered, Lovely Molly (which Dark Discussions states was the second best film of 2012), and a segment of V/H/S 2. Each was either written or co-written by Jamie Nash. As with Adam Wingard and Simon Barrett or Jim Mickle and Nick Damici, the two seem to be a pretty dang good team. Their new film, 2014's Exists, is actually the third film this year about a sasquatch, or better known as Bigfoot. Shot in the found footage style, the film is about a group of five young adults that head out in that oh so common cabin in the woods for fun and sun. But one of them brought a bunch of cameras along since the area of Texas they are in is known as a sighting of the mysterious and legendary monster. With a quick setup, a short intro, and some spooky music by composer Nima Fakhrara, the film becomes a nonstop ride that doesn't let up until the very end. Dark Discussions is joined by Kristi Petersen Schoonover, author of Bad Apple and Skeletons in the Swimmin' Hole, to discuss this new film by the duo. Is it better than the prior two Bigfoot films from this year? Is it more than that and actually a top genre/horror film of the year? Your co-hosts discuss the movie and where it stands up against other Bigfoot films as well as genre cinema as a whole. As always we welcome your comments: darkdiscussions@aol.com (written email or attached mp3 files) WWW.DARKDISCUSSIONS.COM
