Mark Isham

The Echoes Chamber:
Mark Isham's Secret Sources


2007 was a busy year for film composer Mark Isham whose scores included In the Valley of Elah, Reservation Road, The Mist and Lions for Lambs. In his southern California studio, Isham hears tracks that have shaped his music, and sounds that he has shaped over the course of a four-decade music career.


We didn't have time for the entire session on the radio but you can listen to it here (about 35 minutes)
