Massive fan of this guy back in the late 90s. I didn't know he was still doing things. I thought he was an electronic musician for a bit and then faded away. I've actually still been hearing his music in movies and didn't realize it. His Junkie XL stuff with Rudeboy from Urban Dance Squad was some of my favorite stuff back then. Melange, Billy Club, Roster... those songs were blowing my old Nissan up back then.

24:40......... YES! Experienced that same situation. "I want to go back to samples" after recording live orchestra with Prague Orchestra (and spending tons of money). I was dumbfounded. ughh.. This whole world of film scoring is a challenge.

KZread is arguably the greatest instructional vehicle of all time.

That's very cool of you Paul-Henry! Yes, Rick and Tom's v video was truly amazing!

James Bernard was the Dracula composer, and he had a long career after Dracula. He created many classic British film scores from the late 50s into the mid 70s, then made something of a comeback in his final years as a new generation discovered him. He's one of my favorite composers.

Raymond Castile me too! The Devil Rides out! What an amazing score! Check out my top 20 horror scores of all time on my channel! 😊

Thuis is so great! I remember seeing Tom with his band 'Weekend at Waikiki' at the OJC Staddijk, Nijmegen in the Netherlands. That was a long time ago (mid eighties I guess?). I still remember that concert and I went to see two or three concert each week and I forgot most of them, but not Weekend at Waikiki. So why do I remember that gig? I mean, I remember I thought it was great (even though I don't remember the music itself), I remember the name of the band (very important if you want a career) and I remember I had a wonderful evening and I really enjoyed myself. Now, Tom Holkenborg is a very clever man. He is now and he was back then. What he did was quite simple. He just made sure I would never forget that gig, because he and his band changed the whole place. They used fake plants and camo nets and other stuff. Every band I saw there played on that same stage, under the same lights, in the same room. Tom and his friends changed all that, so I remember it even to this day. I still use this story to tell young bands that they don't need thousands of euro's to be recognised. Again, I've seen many young bands, plenty of them were pretty good, but I forgot everything about it. I can't remember the songs of Tom's band, but atleast I remember it was good, I remember I had a wonderful time and, most importantly, I still remember the name of the band. And all because of such a simple Idea. When Tom did his remix (?) of Elvis' 'A little less conversation', I thought that was great and I was truely proud of him. And now, with his film music, and not the dumbest movies either, in a very difficult world with a lot of competition...., man, that amazes me! The guy of Weekend at Waikiki.... I've had my dreams back then. Tom worked hard to live my dreams. He deserves it! Thank you for the great interview, Rick!

It's a great analog to Rick's channel from the contemporary rock aspect. Thanks guys, this really means a lot to us. You guys are embracing the most valuable aspect that youtube provides - education.

He has the coolest walls ever. Also, I love the way the room sounds even though it's probably far from the standard "acoustically correct" sounding room.

God.. I’m so so grateful for you and Tom. Thank God there are still super talented people yet super generous to share this gold & gems. Thank you, Rick!

I've been a fan of Junkie XL for almost fifteen years. Thanks, Rick.

Fantastic... I love the engagement of both in this interview. Rick, your expressions (empathy) are priceless. Great questions, great answers and insights. Just awesome. This is one that will stand up to repeat viewing for sure.

I find myself smiling at this. Check out Junkie's Spaghetti Carbonara episode. So great to see him so happy COOKING!

Great interview, and as a huge fan of Blade Runner I have to agree with Junkie. Slight mistake though: James Bernard (Dracula) was born in 1925 and passed away in 2001. In the electronic only film score genre, there's the quite visionary (for its time, 1956) and very avantgarde Forbidden Planet ;-)

Fantastic- Tom is a real treasure, and so open with his experience and work. Thanks Rick

Brilliant interview! 35 minutes of inspirational joy for any composing musician regardless of musical background. All power to you both.

What a surprise! Great to see you both together for a very informative and fun interview!!! I have been following both of you guys for over a year now. Thank you for all that you share with us.

As a big fan of Rick Beato's channel, it's cool to know Junkie XL with all his accomplishments is watching along with me.

He was a member of the Dutch industrial rock band Nerve. Check out Blood and Gold (1995) His Big Beat adventure as Junkie XL is also totally worth listening to

gr8 seeing them together: two of my fav KZread musical lighthouses (soundhouses?) . Thx guys! A special ❤ to Tom I had the pleasure to see on stage and meet backstage a long time ago, at the Paris Rex Club, when he was half part of Nerve... twas in the early 90s and I was in the indus-electronic-synth scene too

I know one day between! Who is Junkie's Social Media guy! LOL!!

He's been upping his game lately. I wasn't a fan of his DC movies soundtracks (too much droning noise) but since Fury Road and lately, Mortal Engines and Battle Angle Alita, he's been crafting themes and memorable melodies channeling James Horner at times, he's going to be a Hollywood soundtrack composer in demand as he can sound classic and modern.

Hi Rick love your videos !!!! Can i make one suggestion, loose the auto focus, if you have a sit down wide shot like this frame up the shot manually, your not moving from the chairs so no need for focus adjustments. Cheers mate Your musical genius have inspired me.

Fantastic. I consistently have the same experience with both of your videos: first, I think I’ll probably hear stuff I’ve heard before and then I’m totally blown away by brand new thoughts/techniques, etc. You guys are both outstanding and doing the Lord’s work out here. ✌🏼

What a great interview! Rick, Junkie, and the world’s loudest couch.

Great interview with Junky XL here! and he is dutch too, we're proud of him!

You just got me interested in film scoring :)

Cool, new stuff to discover! I will subscribe to his channel.

thanks, rick - for the opportunity to watch this interesting video.

I was absolutely floored by this video. Thank you so much for doing it. I had a huge argument with my son because he said that he didn't need to graduate from high school because he had KZread. I went ballistic but didn't Mr. Holkenborg just validate that in a sense? Thank God he did graduate and maybe because my interests are varied, KZread stuff finds me... a lot of stuff finds me. Interesting amazing stuff... Honestly, I could go to school on KZread. Seriously. A friend of mine who's a doctor told me that when she has to do a surgical procedure that she hasn't done in a long time, she finds the procedure on KZread! Damn... For me it was the last concert Jobim did in Brazil with Jazz artists from America. I think Herbie Hancock and Joe Henderson were there. One of my favorite songs in Life is Girl From Ipanema. Growing Up, it introduced me to Brazilian music. That and Brasil ’66. Anyway during the concert they’re playing an Instrumental Girl From Ipanema and Jobim walks over to Herbie on the piano and plays, the chords to Take the A Train! That was his inspiration for Girl From Ipanema! To me, it was a validation for growing up in the tradition. Watching you guys talk, I felt like I was sitting in the room with you. And Rick, I don’t even know how I got wind of you but I’ve learned a lot already. I’m a couple of years away from retirement. I think I want to follow in the Junkie XL lifestyle. Right now, as soon as I have a vacation, I switch from working from 9-5p to composing from 9p-5a! So now, I have to subscribe to Junkie XL. No Sleep…

Poor autofocus -too much interesting stuff in the picture ;)

Junkie XL is living my dream. Congrats for all your success!

Wooooo! I loved so much to see both of you chatting! Thank you Rick snd Junkie XL!!! Your fan in Tokyo.

What?? How had I not seen this??? Junkie XL 's channel is so cool!

You might want to set your camera to manual focus, so the camera is not constantly hunting for its focus point. I had to stop looking at the video and just listen to the audio because that was distracting. Great interview, btw.

Wonderful video. Film scores, especially John Williams, was the first type of music that I fell in love with. It was also a great gateway for me into the larger world of classical/orchestral music.

Two of my favourite KZreadrd together. Thank you both for that.

Hi Rick, I'm a new subscriber but I've been watching your videos for a long time. I would like to thank you for all this, it's unbelievable how much knowledge, information and inspiration you can get from people like you. I'm really looking forward to seeing the Junkie XL interview. Keep up the good work bro and thanks for the knowledge you bring to us. Much love from Germany

What an amazing collab! Two modern geniuses!

Really interesting his comment on how modern scores are done to a super complex click. I guess that's the only way you could get extremely tight cues like that.

great interview Rick thank you thats so cool you got to see his studio

Great interview! I'm definitely going to watch some Junkie XL videos. I'm a rock guy, but you feed the more expansive musical interests that I have, Rick. Thank you for being you and never limiting your own musical interests!

Im not sure the analogue revival is as recent as a lot of people think. Back in the 90s analogue synths where already back in vogue because people found the digital style "workstation" synths and the FM synths (which might as well have been digital since they involved a LOT of menu diving) sterile and uncreative, whereas the analogues had those magical filter knobs that gave those expressive sweeps popular in techno at the time. Aphex Twins Analogue Bubblebath really was where the whole movement started with Analogue and it never really went away. That was 1991, btw. That said back in the 90s there was still a LOT of analogue synths available on the second hand market. I picked up a Juno for about $200 and my trusty old Korg Polysynth (admittedly bit of a menu diver keyboard) for under $100

Awesome conversation.

I'm not into film scoring and I don't listen to them apart from the films, but I found this interview informative and fascinating.

The late great Keith Emerson would be convulsing with excitement with the "background" of this interview! :P :D Respect to XL for thinking of Levin in "Elephant Talk" :).

Great interview Rick, what a top guy. Thanks.
