Robert Revell: Composing for film, craft vs creativity
from Wunderdog
Robert Revell’s grandfather was a poet who fled Mao’s China - and Robert tells the story of how he went back to find his family’s house, still untouched after fifty years. Robert is a film and TV composer with a side gig: The band Blood Money, and reflects on the state of film music and the difference between work-for-hire and work that nourishes the heart. We get the story of how his father, Graeme Revell (former leader of industrial rock group SPK, then composed music for films like The Crow, From Dusk till Dawn and Sin City) stumbled into his first gig, and how Robert thinks about creativity around his two children. Bonus: Two songs from Robert’s band BLOOD MONEY at the end, War Machine and The Widow. Want more? Send Robert a message on his instagram @robertjrevell and ask him to send you music!
