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