Recent Radio Appearances

It’s spooky season and that means my work on the Dies irae in film music has bubbled up on the internet again. I was interviewed on a few different platforms recently, and I wanted to post those links here too.

The first was an interview with the podcaster Dallas Taylor for the Twenty Thousand Hertz podcast.

This was a fun talk, and I got to really unpack the Dies irae within the broader context of the history of film music.

After the 20k Hertz podcast dropped, I was interviewed by the National Public Radio program Here and Now.

This was a good distillation of what I’ve been working on, and I even got to finish by recommending my favorite “scariest” version of the Dies irae in film music…Jerry Goldsmith’s opening titles to “The Omen.”
