For my grad class this quarter I have to interview at least three people that are really successful in the field I’m studying.
I interviewed Lenny Lacroix, a legendary arranger that wrote for 8 Oscar shows and tons of people you’ve all heard of.
I interviewed Mike Lacari, an Emmy Award winning TV composer at his studio in Orange County.
I’m interviewing Bruce Broughton next week, and am planning on interviewing Joe Alfuso at his studio in Hollywood next week also.
But tonight…
Tonight I received an email back from Steve Bartek, letting me know he’d be available for an interview!
For those of you that are unfamiliar with Steve’s work, he’s the one behind Danny Elfman’s scores. This is the guy that really brought you Batman, Edward Scissorhands, The Simpsons, Men in Black, Mars Attacks, Good Will Hunting, Spider-Man, Tales from the Crypt, The Frighteners, Mission Impossible (the 1996 one), The Nightmare Before Christmas, and many, many more!
This dude is by far my most favorite orchestrator to date. I love his work and the texture and color he brings to the orchestral score. I can’t believe I’ll get to interview him!
So great!
