It’s been an honor of a lifetime to have been invited to be a part of this iconic franchise and collaborating with my good friend Fede Álvarez on the score for ALIEN: ROMULUS was beyond inspiring. He wanted to push all the limits whilst still writing a love letter to the
Danny Elfman’s iconic Batman Theme knocked me sideways when I first heard it aged about 9 and I’ve loved it ever since. It’s not often you get a chance to musically celebrate one of your heroes and it was some of the most fun I’ve ever had getting the chance to reimagine those
It’s truly a dream come true to have had the chance to work on

As ever these amazing musicians make it look easy: playing at sight, taking it all in their stride no matter what, making magic as they go. So lucky to work with these players!

As those layers of orchestration build before the Batman title hits…. one of the best opening title theme moments of all time? My 9 year old self certainly thought so back in 1989…. And I’d forgotten the first featured instrument on the tune was a Cor Anglais!! Love it

These incredible musicians play this music at sight, there’s no rehearsal. The red light goes on, we record their first reading and the way they play always floors me. Not just their virtuosity and endurance, but the sheer emotional power they bring to every note. Always an honor

Celebrating the one year anniversary of the release of IT Chapter 2, here’s '27 Years Later’ 🎈🎈 Working on these two movies was a such a joy and honor - missing the twisted yet heartfelt world of Derry, The Losers Club and a certain dancing clown. Happy ITversary folks 🍾❤️🤡
It was such a thrill and joy to work with legendary director Lee Isaac Chung on TWISTERS. Even in the most intense and powerful action pieces he still manages to always make it feel personal and about the characters. The sheer power and majesty of the storms is always grounded in
Hard to quantify the sheer impact of Vangelis’s innovations and the power of his music. Such a heartbreaking loss. Thank you for the music and the inspiration

The
#Shazam
score by Benjamin Wallfisch harkens back to a John Williams Superman type hero score, which is fitting given the material. It plays well throughout, especially the ending, which is sure to bring audiences back again and again for…reasons.

Grazie Maestro. Nothing comes close to incredible cultural legacy you leave behind. Iconic, explosively original, sublime and profound. Rest In Peace, Ennio Morricone

Mind blown hearing King Charles mentioning my Grandma Anita Lasker Wallfisch in this broadcast a couple of days ago on

I spoke to her on the phone after, and in her typical style she said “Brilliant cellist? Nonsense. I was just a humble quaver pusher” Love her!!

The symbolism of her being awarded Germany’s highest civilian honor kind of knocked me sideways, but when I spoke to her after the ceremony she just said ‘Ah well, another gong for my suitcase’. Couldn’t be more proud of this lady, my incredible Grandma.
