Howard Shore and David Garland on Spinning on AirHoward Shore
Composer Howard Shore is up for an Oscar for his music for The Lord of the Rings: the Return of the King, and he's busily at work on his Lord of the Rings Symphony, but somehow he's found time to join host David Garland for a two-hour conversation about his career writing movie music. While Shore's music for the Lord of the Rings trilogy thrills audiences with its spirit of hope and bravery, his on-going collaborations with director David Cronenberg explore strange, anxious states of mind. Whatever the project, Shore offers an experimentalist's daring and a vivid sense of drama. Discussed and heard will be Howard Shore's music for The Fly, Naked Lunch, Crash, Ed Wood, and of course The Lord of the Rings.
