Threads and Tangents EP 159 - Ennio Morricone

This week's thread is music composed by Ennio Morricone. The Italian composer, orchestrator, and conductor wrote 400 scores for cinema and television, and he changed the sound of cinema forever. His filmography includes more than 70 award-winning films. We all recognize his work in Sergio Leone's 'Dollars' trilogy.

Just look at this playlist; it'll give you a sense of the scope of his influence in music: John Zorn, Khruangbin, Ennio Morricone, Snakefinger, Mads Tolling, Joan Baez, Yo-Yo Ma, Dub Spencer & Trance Hill, Edda Dell’Orso, Metallica, and Chet Baker.
