All Access: John Powell - Episode 1

[@RossBugden]

They may not get hundreds of thousands of views, but these videos, (along with all the work you do) are some of my favorite things on the internet. I seriously appreciate it man, thanks a lot for sharing :)

[@christianfortner]

Seriously! A couple years ago I had a much harder time finding stuff like this. But it's a lot easier thanks to this :D

[@FilmMusicMedia]

+Ross Bugden Thanks for the kind feedback :)

[@PrideWeWin]

I think his work on P.S I Love You is simply absolutely brilliant

[@NightFuryFan150]

I think his most impressive work has to be How to Train Your Dragon from 2010. The score is just so beautiful, exciting, and amazing, and John Powell was nominated for an Oscar for Best Original Score for the film. My favorite song from the soundtrack has to be Forbidden Friendship, it's just so relaxing and it actually made me fall asleep a few times while listening to it.

[@austinmatthews7286]

Wow I love him. He's so honest, but he values music so highly. He has such a noble shame and humility about him. All that stuff about his requiem starting at 59:43 is sooo awesome. I've always thought about WWI being a crazy catalyst for all the troubles of the 20th and now 21st century and he feels it so deeply.

[@Fangornmmc]

This was such a huge relief to watch. There are many things about the way he composes that I can completely relate to. The being unable to hear more than 2 seconds ahead part for example, and how he considers himself a 'disabled' composer. Or how he started composing because he wasn't a good enough player. I don't consider myself half as skilled as John Powell, but I can certainly relate to these things! Thank you for the video +Film.Music.Media

[@Enogimka]

I started d watching one of the master class he gave on youtube before going to bed and the choir have pretty important part of his creative process that's was fun to learn and also funny in the context of the master class.

[@MiloPaulus]

Same for me! All those things he said apply to my style of composing as well.

[@maximilianlindinger]

I love that interview. John Powell is such a modest Person. Also great his Story about Jerry Goldsmith.

[@mariosoundtrackvods]

This is now one of MY FAVORITE videos ever :D Thanks a lot. Powell and Williams are my fav composers ever. I'm in love with what Powell does and man, I wish I was you interviewing him :D

[@currywurst6267]

Yes :D On every day I here the How to train your dragon score from John Powell. It's so awesome. He is awesome.

[@MrNBGuitar]

These are the kind of videos I would dream about watching years ago, when there was nothing like this available. And now here they are thanks to you guys! I feel really grateful for being able to watch this! It's priceless information and knowledge for all film music lovers, wether musicians or not. THANK YOU! And keep the amazing work!

[@FilmMusicMedia]

Thanks so much for the kind words, and thanks for taking the time to watch/listen! The whole goal was to indeed fill a void that wasn't there before. And the hope is for these long-form video interviews to hopefully do something different than most of the interviews out there. John is also the best!

[@MrNBGuitar]

He is indeed! As are you for taking the time and effort to make the videos available for us! ;)

[@KerwinYoungComposer]

This is by far the BEST interview I've seen by any film composer! Jerry Goldsmith is the closest. This is a great one, and your work with the All Access series is Top Notch!!!!

[@FilmMusicMedia]

Thanks so much for the kind feedback and support!

[@mintbrownieangelfish-6114]

I love how, in these interviews, the people are just being themselves. You really get a feel for the person, and that feel is genuine. Awesome to watch!

[@daleturner]

I see a Whammy Pedal on top of that cabinet! How totally rawkin'! What a great interview! Thanks so much!

[@mosstet]

46:20 can anyone find the film he's talking about??? The stop motion horror he scored. I'd love to see it.

[@csm120]

This is the best of the internet.

[@goldenboy886]

It truly truly is the place where there is purity

[@jingleskhanaudioproductions]

:)

[@MartyhaanMusic]

I really hope he will do a masterclass for scoring for animation :D

[@PurushaDesa]

Face/Off is when I started noticing this genius. His Bourne themes are Oscar worthy.

[@theRyanStrong]

Would love to see more like this with video! Great work, great interview.

[@AndrewBarracloughComposer]

Loving how honest Powell is here! Great insight. It's great to hear such an accomplished composer talk about their taste and opinions on the industry.

[@sachamht]

1:12:16 I'm french and I'm offended. But I still leave a like because it's an awesome video.

[@PaBlikMM01]

Great interview with a great composer! Thanx alot for this video! :) Looking forward for more such stuff ... :)

[@timidelle1127]

He's a great inspiration to me. I am a musician as well, I compose music and my dream is to compose a song that would be used in a film soundtrack one day! John Powell's music is brilliant and brings me to tears every time. A GENIUS! :)

[@PradeepChakravarthyB]

Thank you for doing this. Great video.

[@rolfgustavsonmusic]

Great interview! I can really relate with the things he said about his composition process nad he mentioned Penderecki and Ligeti=awesome!

[@alexanderdelacruz9249]

A very down to earth guy. Cheers John , will look forward to many more of your movie 🎥 soundtrack 🎥

[@samking5382]

46:42 Anyone know how/where to find that short film on KZbin?

[@cantifirmi4921]

1:27:57 speaking his thoughts out! In all seriousness though, a lot of knowledge on his philosophy of film composing as well as the world war. I like that he continually tries to improve on his music and does his job for the sake of music.

[@MahiyaBorden]

I really love these interviews. Do you think you can interview Ramin Djawadi?

[@cinematicamusic2578]

Just love your channel, thank you.

[@audioverge667]

You guys have to interview Harry Gregson Williams, that would be super amazing!

[@audioverge667]

+DJSH Music + Henry Jackman!

[@FilmMusicMedia]

+DJSH Music Made it happen! Enjoy! kzbin.info/www/bejne/ioqzoJ2InZyIo8k

[@audioverge667]

+Film.Music.Media You guys have no idea how happy I was when I saw the video pop up :D I really love this series! HGW and Inon Zur are two guys who I love so much but do very little behind the scenes or studio interviews, So its huge you have hour+ long interviews inside their studios Thanks Guys :D

[@sillyfello]

great pieces of thoughts and inspirations I got from this interview.. it expands my possibility horizon of making good music.. feels so good I watched it.. thanks guys.. #respect john powell

[@jethalalgada8484]

Please do the next one with Harry Gregson-Williams on the eve of The Martian release.

[@FilmMusicMedia]

+jethalal gada Missed the eve of The Martian release, but Harry was kind enough to make some time! kzbin.info/www/bejne/ioqzoJ2InZyIo8k

[@KBBalstroem]

[@gohkonno1171]

[@giscardrasquin4793]

Great interview. Thanks

[@francescoberta]

Amazing

[@samuelkimmusic]

PLEASE INTERVIEW HANS ZIMMER ALL ACCESS!!!

[@michelebischof501]

samuelkimmusic Please Don't

[@leonewmark2849]

@Samuel Kim Music You are a tremendous talent. Such a fan of yours 🎼🎼

[@VSushant]

Can you please interview Thomas Newman ? There are very few videos about him on internet.

[@jonsemble]

26:35 3 days to write 45 min of music? That is crazy

[@apollothegreatt]

yeah its absolutely crazy. i can get a 2 minute idea in 4 hours. So much respect for this man

[@melissamybubbles6139]

What do these composers think about figure skaters, gymnasts, etc. using their music? Do they ever consider how else their music is used outside film when they compose?

[@MartinRenner]

At 26:24, what does he mean with underwriting? Anyone pls help :D

[@FilmMusicMedia]

To put it bluntly, essentially "phoning it in" :P. Underwriting is essentially doing the bare minimum needed with the music. Think of music that just sits on top of the picture versus music that is more intricate and works with the shape of scenes, pacing and the overall narrative structure.

[@bintangrizkyutama7909]

"i'm a bad piano player..." so do i... Now i'm not worried :D

[@sillyfello]

Bintang Rizky Utama tat part really relaxed me off my fear tat im not good enough.. lol

[@bintangrizkyutama7909]

Hahaha i've been composing music digitally... i play instruments except Piano... Not very good and probably never be good... hehe

[@abdouabdou8033]

ALFIE ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@TB1M1]

I don't think JP has really listened to much Jerry Goldsmith, he certainly didn't only write in the style of Ravel. In fact Ravel is the least of his influences.

[@alexkarpenter2306]

Why would you think he hasn't listened to much Goldsmith? It isn't like by listening to a lot of someone's stuff you'll start to imitate his style noticeably

[@michelelatocca8033]

please, can you write what i said?
