Composer Steve HorowitzHappy Meal Composer
The record-breaking success of non-fiction documentaries in movie theaters has been a boon to not only independent filmmakers but also composers who write the often highly original soundtracks. One of them is Steve Horowitz, the composer behind the music heard in this year’s surprise hit documentary, “Supersize Me." Today on Soundcheck, Horowitz talks with John Schaefer about his unusual approach to writing the score and about music for a host of other media including television, cartoons, and video games.
Also on the show, Carl Hancock Rux, the 34-year-old poet, actor, playwright, spoken-word artist, musician – who is now also a novelist. He discusses his new novel, Asphalt, and his recently released CD, Apothecary Rx.
