Love you, Mark Snow. Thanks for the amazing music.

Omg mark snow himself

Mark is a delight, so personable and modest!

A really great interview with Mark Snow. Great to see he still has his Synclavier synth.

6:44 Oh Mark. Those “first few episodes” were actually very musical!” Not only was the atmospheric stuff actually quite musical, but there WERE cues here in there in those episodes that were obviously quite musical! I love his impression of the “vapor music” they said they wanted with the shhssswooshy wind sounds, because this totally explains why there was so much sort of swooooshy windy sound design in the Pilot ! 😂 it’s like he said “fine ok let’s start with the swooosy ambient bed stuff” and got bored so made it more musical anyway. Haha. But anyway he didn’t really do that again, and obviously this is why.

Compare this with NBC’s Hannibal. That does have musical stuff in it’s music as well, but that’s got a very interesting approach to it. In that it’s like they made a conscious choice to have like 98% music wall-to-wall. But you wouldn’t always recognize it as music. The music would sometimes bang and crash and make obviously accent sounds, but at times where most films/shows would have no music they would have always done kind of drone or ambient bed in there. BARELY even classifiable as music, but it provided a very dreamlike uneasy feeling. Where sometimes a sound would pop up and you’re like oh there’s music, but it’s quite natural because it never really stopped. Very occasionally they’d have scenes with no music, often to make some kind of point. My point is that is much more atmospheric woodsy windy droney stuff like Mark sort of describes his direction. Marks atmospheric music was always more musical than truly atmospheric almost-but-is-it-music in Hannibal
