We had the honor of visiting multi award-winning composer Mark Isham in his studio and discussing his process for composing, his advice for filmmakers, his insight into the process of fitting music to images to create a movie soundtrack that grabs you emotionally and much more.

From his IMDb bio: “From his days as one of the pioneering icons of electronic music to his current status as a world-renowned legendary film composer, Mark Isham continues to be one of the most prolific and provocative artists on the scene. His gift for creating unforgettable melodies and his love of fresh, innovative sonic palettes have earned Isham many awards including a Grammy, an Emmy, and a Clio, in addition to multiple Grammy, Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations for his material both as a composer and a recording artist. Most recently, Mark was honored by ASCAP with the Henry Mancini Award for Lifetime Achievement. See full bio…
