THOMAS NEWMAN
THOMAS NEWMAN: THE ROAD TO SOUNDTRACK REDEMPTION
The most idiosyncratic of the Newman film composing family that includes his father, Alfred Newman, bother David and cousin Randy Newman, Thomas Newman talks about breaking the mold of Hollywood film scores. Newman's scores include "The Shawshank Redemption" "Road to Perdition" and "Erin Brockovich." He won an Emmy last year for his theme to HBO's "Six Feet Under." "I still to this day wonder why strings equal big screen," says Newman. In Newman's scores, it doesn't. Gamelan metalophones, mutating guitars strummed with maracas and sponges, and arcane instruments like the stroviol populate his scores. We go inside Thomas Newman's Los Angeles studio where he plays some Rube Goldberg style instruments and talks about breaking the death-grip of the Hollywood orchestral score.
