Today we’re dimming the lights, turning off our phones and filling up a giant bucket of popcorn to get the lowdown on music for film and TV.

Film score production has changed a lot in recent years, and LPO musicians timpanist Simon Carrington and tuba player Lee Tsarmaklis have seen it all; from Elmer Bernstein’s skilful, old school approach, to the meticulous modern day techniques of click tracks and multitrack recording.

Simon and Lee tell YolanDa about the film scores which soundtrack their earliest cinema outings and describe the joyful and awe-inspiring experiences playing the music of the legendary John Williams.

Plus, Lee and Simon reveal the soundtracks they wish they could have played on.
