The first time I experimented with sound design was on 'Fruitvale Station,' where I recorded the BART train and manipulated it.
Some of my favorite scores include Bernard Herrmann's Hitchcock scores.
I'd say for a film composer, 'Star Wars' is kind of like the holy grail of film music. It's probably the best film music ever written.
I think in 'Rocky IV' there are three montages with three five-minute songs, which is insane. You can't do that today.
I just want to say, creating music with Childish Gambino has been one of the greatest joys of my life.
