one of the most iconic movie soundtracks ever in your america a new school for the 1966 film the good the bad and the ugly. over a career spanning decades the composer found success with his unique style and approach. i don't ascribe images with my music when there is an important movie it's key that the music says what isn't said and what you cannot see. him. born in 1928 morricone started out as a trumpet player after training at a prestigious rhyme conservatory writing film music began as a way to make some money but he was soon in demand. his music for once upon

a time in the west is as famous as the film itself he was just one of many collaboration's weeds big 80 western pioneer sergio leone. the film music i write is constrained by the cinematic images their exact length like a stopwatch when it comes to interpret in the music that's a kind of prison at a concert i have more freedom i can conduct faster all slower and be more independent and the audience loves that. morricone composed more than 400 schools for cinema and t.v. as well as over 100 classical works in 2007 he was awarded an oscar for lifetime achievement and 9 years later he scored for quentin tarantino's the hateful and one him and nothing. marconi became known as the maestro he received a star on the hollywood walk of fame in 2016 and he celebrated as the world's

greatest film composer. towards the end of his korea he went on to her with 200 musicians delighting fans with a life experience of the movie music magic that he'll always be remembered for. now i want to keep the music going on right here want to talk tonight with robin rimbaud he's a morricone fand and a musician himself he works under the name skinner skinner's good to have you on the program for to me a little bit about the 1st time that you came into contact with any of these news again remember that it would have been on british television in the 1970 s. that time when you weren't quite sure what was happening on t.v. and it would have been the spaghetti westerns of course it would be those classic films and just hearing this incredible eerie music. and he was known as the maestro

the the composer of all composers for film how would you describe his music style. he understood that with film you need texture and you need melody and you mustn't interfere with the picture too much but the sound still needs to tell stories he some he was somebody who had this style that was kind of spiraling melodies with this kind of weird sometimes psychedelic sound sometimes it could be incredibly pastoral sometimes it could just be very gentle but he understood that music should not be bigger than the film it should be just as equal in a sense in that it takes a special gift doesn't it skinner to be able to know exactly where that that happy medium is between the terms in the sales. i think that's what's interesting i mean if you know about morricone he scored over 20 films a year he scored so many films that in fact no one really knows how many films he

scored at something like over 500 but through this progression he learned the best way to tell the story interestingly that he obviously didn't only use music so he used the sounds around him so in the spaghetti westerns you have the sounds of a sighing creaking you have foot sticks you have the actual movement around you so in many ways he combined that kind of world of sound design and music in a very interesting way how big would you say his influence has been on other musicians musicians such as yourself i think enormously i mean if you were to look at the social networks today they are absolutely swamped that everybody from every genre kind of mourning the loss of this fellow incredible i mean there was so much music everything from the band portishead a great debt to his style of music through to classical musicians through to so many film composers today the influence is just sort of beyond comprehension in a sense robin remember all the otherwise known as skinner joining us tonight and
