When people who are avid fans talk about their favorite musicians or artists, a lot of times they can tell you everything about them.. Where they were born, what their life was like growing up, what inspired them to start creating music. That's what being a super fan is all about! But when we think of musicians, a lot of times we only think about bands that tour the world and are mainly listened to on Spotify or Apple Music.. We don't often think about film score composers.. Many people know of some of the big film score composers like, John Williams, Hans Zimmer, Danny Elfman, etc. But have you ever thought about what their lives were like, and what inspired them to create the music they do? If asked, would you be able to tell someone their back story? Have you ever wondered what it takes to be a film score composer? These are some of the questions we're going to attempt to answer on this episode of our show! This episode we are joined by our good friend and returning show guest, John Cassler. John, (Who you may know from our 11th episode on the history of music videos..) is a fantastic and knowledgeable photographer/videographer. He came fully prepared and educated on the history of cinema and the 6 big film score composers. We were honored to have him back on our show, and are extremely grateful for him giving us so much of his time. On the first segment of episode #20, John will be giving us a crash course on the history of cinema, and film score music, as well as going over some music terms.. And there might just be some unexpected tangents, bad humor, and Jurassic Park references provided by Nik and Ryan in addition as well. ;) Thanks for listening and we hope you enjoy.
