Welcome to the latest edition of TALKING SOUNDTRACKS on THE CINEMATIC RADIO PODCAST NETWORK.
This is Jason Drury's two-part interview with the legendary composer, Craig Safan, who is responsible for the critically acclaimed scores to FADE TO BLACK, THIEF, REMO WILLIAMS: THE ADVENTURE BEGINS, THE NIGHTMARE ON ELM ST. 4: THE DREAM MASTER, and SON OF THE MORNING STAR. The interview is a follow-up to our THE LAST STARFIGHTER episode on THE ESSENTIAL SOUNDTRACKS. Safan also provided music for some of the most recognizable television shows, including THE TWILIGHT ZONE, AMAZING STORIES, and CHEERS.
In part one, Safan discussed the beginning of his career, his work on television, and THE LAST STARFIGHTER, the score that made him a household name.
In part two, Safan talks about his work on the TV mini-series, SON OF THE MORNING STAR, the TV film MISSION OF THE SHARK and the documentary SECRETS OF THE TITANIC. Safan also discusses his silent film work and the pleasure he has of writing music away from the screen including SIRENS, which was inspired by Homer's Odyssey and L.A. EX, his love letter to Los Angeles.
Enjoy!
