Min 4: La maleta de EDC en los Goya Cumpliendo la tradición, Estamos de Cine y Radio CLM volvieron a ser testigos de los mejores momentos de la gran fiesta del cine español. Los que se vieron y los que sólo grabó nuestro micrófono. Roberto Lancha (con un 8 de 10) en su quiniela, contrasta los pronósticos y rescata lo mejor de las entrevistas a los ganadores de la noche. Pablo Berger, Mabel Lozano, José Coronado, Malena Alterio o el mismísimo J.A. Bayona. Min 22: EL FILTRO LUCHINI Pero, más allá de los Goya, la vida y el cine siguen su camino y tenemos tres novedades que filtrar. “Madame Web”, “Priscilla” y “Buscando a Coque” polarizan una cartelera divergente en la que no todo es lo que parece ni oro todo lo que reluce. Alberto Luchini y Raquel Hernández tiran de bisturí para hacer la autopsia a las dos películas americanas y sacan sus medallas y sus estrellas para aplaudir la calidad y el humor de la única película española en la nueva oferta en salas. Min 38. ESPECIAL BSO ENTRE COPAS Fue una de las películas más aclamadas de los 90. Cosechó tantos premios como uvas hicieron falta para dar vida a los vinos que le dan sabor y color. “Entre copas”, la ya icónica película sobre el amor al vino y a la amistad que catapultó a Alenxander Payne, cumple 20 años y le hemos propuesto a Ángel Luque celebrarlo descorchando la deliciosa banda sonora de Rolfe Kent.

Two episodes of Soundtracking in 2019 - two five-star films. Following Yorgos Lanthimos's appearance to discuss his subversive period drama The Favourite, Jon S Baird joins us for our latest show to talk us through the music in his much-vaunted Laurel & Hardy biopic, Stan & Ollie. Starring Steve Coogan and John C Reilly, Stan & Ollie tells the story of their theatre tour of the British Isles many years after the peak of their fame. By turns funny and moving, it brims with charm, innocence and wit. The central performances are utterly convincing, and beautifully complimented by Shirley Henderson and Nina Arianda as the comedy duo's wives. Having worked with Clint Mansell on Filth, Jon employed the services of composer Rolfe Kent for the score, whose previous work includes Sideways and Up In The Air - not to mention Dexter. And, as always you'll hear plenty of Rolfe's work sprinkled throughout the conversation, even though his cues from the film have yet to be commercially released. But where else could we begin that with his take on Dance Of The Cuckoos - the unmistakable Laurel & Hardy theme ...
Matthew Sweet takes his cue from the newly released 'Stan and Ollie', scored by Rolfe Kent, for a look at music for films featuring notable "double acts", not least from the new Laurel and Hardy inspired film itself. Featured films include 'The Odd Couple', 'Gunfight At OK Corral', 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid', 'Gentlemen Prefer Blondes', 'Mr and Mrs Smith', 'To Have And Have Not', 'Cleopatra', 'Guess Who's Coming To Dinner', '21 Jump Street', 'Men In Black', 'Silver Streak', 'Night At The Museum', 'Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein', 'The Intelligence Men', 'Coraline', 'Shaun Of The Dead' and the Classic Score of the week is Laurel and Hardy's 'Way Out West'. There's also a chance to hear part of the new score by Thomas Ades for the new bio-pic about French author, Collette.

This week our Rolfe Kent interviews are capped off with a retrospective of his work. While we cannot possibly cover everything he has composed, we hope that shining a light on some of his varied scores will help show just how impressive his works are in film. Some know Mr. Kent by his romantic comedies, others know him by his darker comedies, and others still know him by his adventure scores. Scores like Downsizing, Rock Dog, Dom Hemingway, Bad Words, Labor Day, Young Adult, Charlie St. Cloud, Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, Reign Over Me, Thank You for Smoking, Wedding Crashers, The Matador, Kate and Leopold, Gun Shy, Election, The Slums of Beverly Hills, Citizen Ruth, and so many others. Without his deft touch, such dark comedies like About Schmidt, Sideways, Bad Words, and Election might be too dark or too light, but not balanced. Luckily, Mr. Kents talent is in diversity of the orchestra and the moods he creates. Brad, Kurt, and Alex take a look at some of the reasons he is so good at this, and try to highlight some of his best work. Sit back and relax, or drive to the calming, fun sounds of Mr. Rolfe Kent. A special thanks goes out to Mr. Kent and everyone that works for him for allowing us to provide these shows and excellent interviews. This is the reason we do this show, to preserve the history of such great artists. Enjoy.
Composer Rolfe Kent has continually demonstrated his versatility as a storyteller by bringing us such wonderful scores across every genre. He has built lasting relationships with directors like Alexander Payne and Jason Reitman. He has also given scores such as Up In The Air, Sideways, Legally Blonde, Wedding Crashers, About Schmidt and many more. Rolfe recently scored the Laurel and Hardy biopic titled Stan & Ollie. In this interview we talk a little about Rolfe's path to becoming a composer, and then dissect his work on Stan & Ollie. The film has a really deep emotional core, and Rolfe was able to build these iconic characters up musically and give the film the emotional resonance it needed. It was such a pleasure to welcome Rolfe back as a guest on Film.Music.Media! Interview Produced & Presented by Kaya Savas Special Thanks: Rolfe Kent, Sabrina Hutchinson, Defiant PR

This week we give the listener a second view into the mind of Rolfe Kent, composer of films like Sideways, Wedding Crashers, Up In the Air, About Schmidt, Theory of Flight, Gun Shy, Thank You for Smoking, Reign Over Me, and Ghosts of Girlfriends Past. Mr. Kent has made himself and integral team member of directors like Alexander Payne, Jason Bateman, and Jason Reitman since 1989, making his resume one of the most robust in the film scoring world. His work shows a range of musical style that helps give the final step in dark comedies that are much more complex than they seem. At the same time, he is able to fluidly move between traditional rock, jazz, and American classical, orchestral arrangements to include all manner of instrumentation from all over the world. Even with all of these techniques, his film scores are always a fantastic listen. He is a chameleon that perfectly adapts to the films needs and gives depth to funny, yet complicated characters. If you have not taken the time to hear some of Rolfe Kents work outside of his films, you owe it to yourself to do so. Take some time to hear what drives him in his work, and why he loves what he does so much. It certainly shows in the end result. This is part two of Mr. Kents interview he was gracious enough to give Alex and OMPS. Be sure to check out part one from last week, and stay tuned for our own retrospective for part three. Sit back, relax, get some popcorn, and listen to Original Motion Picture Soundtrack.

[Watch the video interview on our YouTube Channel] Composer Rolfe Kent joins us for the last All Access of 2017! Rolfe talks about his early years and how quickly he knew he wanted to be a composer when he was younger. After securing a job he packed up and moved to Los Angeles where he never looked back. Some of his first scores were for the tantalizing Playboy series called Inside Out where Rolfe Kent would cement his entire career by meeting directors like Alexander Payne and Richard Shephard who directed segments for the sexy series. We talk about how these relationships evolved and how the directors he works with are actually his close friends. Rolfe examines his work with directors like Mark Waters, Richard Shephard, actor Jason Bateman, Jason Reitman and of course Alexander Payne. We talk about the unique premise for Downsizing and how Rolfe approached the score for Alexander's newest film. Other topics include navigating licensed music used in a movie, how Rolfe doesn't look at movies in terms of genre and how boredom usually leads to innovation. Rolfe is such a versatile composer whose work always finds the emotional center of a film, and it was an honor to have him as a guest! Interview Produced & Presented By:Kaya Savas Special Thanks: Rolfe Kent, Beth Krakower, The Krakower Group
Rolfe Kent and Face2Face host David Peck talk about Alexander Payne’s new film Downsizing, creating chemistry though music, experimentation, writing by walking and relentless enthusiasm. Biography Unexpected texture, sounds and a signature musical personality are the hallmarks of British film composer Rolfe Kent, who has scored more than 50 films, including Academy Award nominated Up in the Air (for which he won a Golden Satellite award), Sideways (for which he was nominated for a Golden Globe and Critics Choice Award in 2007), Labor Day, Bad Words (Jason Bateman’s directorial debut), Dom Hemingway, About Schmidt, Election, Mean Girls, Legally Blonde and Legally Blonde II, Wedding Crashers, The Matador, Reign Over Me, The Hunting Party, and Thank You for Smoking. Kent also composed the Emmy-nominated main title theme for the Showtime hit, Dexter. In 2012, he received the Richard Kirk award for career achievement. Born in England into a non-musical family, Kent intuitively felt at age 12 that he wanted to be a film composer, although his early musical training was brief and not so formal. Citing Jarre’s Lawrence of Arabia and Morricone’s The Good, The Bad and the Ugly, as inspirations, Kent took the advice of an early music teacher to avoid rigid course work that would dampen his enthusiasm. He followed an entirely different path and, taking counterpoint to what is often cited as culture mired in cynicism, profited from his early course work in theology to relate it to music. After enrolling in psychology sutdies at Unviersity of Leeds in Yorkshire, Kent’s musical career was casually begun at a dance club when the director of a play offered him a chance to “do” the music. His jump start was his composition for a stage musical Gross at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, a springboard for Authors, composers and performers. In the confines of his musically busy studio, one can immediately see why his musical personality is as distinct and his own. Constantly on the go, adventurous and curious, Kent has developed a style that is not only distinct, but indicative of his aversion to the-anticipated-score in tone, texture and rhythm. The walls are lined with many familiar and many more unfamiliar instruments, gingerly handled and gleefully demonstrated for their sonic qualities. Among his collection are the Indonesian percussion instrument the angklung, the shawm (first used in military maneuvers as a psychological weapon), the melodica, used for the light, soothing effect in Kent’s jazz-infused score for his Golden Globe-nominated Sideways, and an instrument he discovered and cannot name that sounds like the world’s beaches at their most romantic high tide... combined. Kent has the distinction of attracting and sustaining relationships with directors as popular and diverse as Alexander Payne, Mark Waters, Jason Reitman, Burr Steers, and Richard Shepard. Synopsis “Alexander [Payne, writer/director] asked for the score to be beautiful classical music,” Kent described. The composer wanted to avoid movie-score clichés and took a different route. “I figured a Kubrickian approach was best, where the music sounds like it existed outside of the film, and was discovered to match the scene perfectly.” Known for using unexpected textures, sounds and his own signature musical personality this opened the floodgates for Rolfe. “As ever, Alexander was open to hearing unexpected sounds, so when I threw him the curve of an opera aria sung in Norwegian, or some bagpipes. He loved it.” In addition to writing the original score for the film, he also co-wrote the original song “A Little Change In The Weather,” performed by The Swingles.
