Welcome to the first episode of a new podcast, Music for Moving Pictures. Your host, Tim Greiving, will sit down with the composers who write for films and peel apart the musical craft and psychology and storytelling skills that go into what they do—and illustrate it with lots of great music. In our premiere episode, Tim talks to James Newton Howard about his symphonic score for the new film “Red Sparrow” and more.
