Music’s an often-overlooked aspect of film and TV production. It can create a mood or it can destroy it – indeed sometimes one composer can do both (cf Murray Gold). So today’s quick question is:
Who’s your favourite TV or film composer?
Mine is Clint Mansell, who composed the music from Requiem for a Dream (aka "the music from the Lord of the Rings trailers"), Black Swan and Moon amongst other things. In fact, I don’t know of any time he’s ever produced anything that was less than excellent. But how about you?

I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
