FilmTracks »


Music for film is a complex synergy between the creative elements of what you see on screen and the distinct musical choices made by a composer, director, or music supervisor. Join Andrew and Jesse as they talk, dissect, and enjoy various aspects of film music from its inception, completion, and every element in-between. Sometimes they will have guests, but for the most part – their discussion will revolve around their love for music, and it’s relationship with the moving image.


Weekly, Tuesday at 5PM • Upcoming Schedule
