Composer Interview: Lorne Balfe (January 16, 2012)

Before the holidays I got to talk to Lorne Balfe once again about his recent duo of video game scores. Recently Lorne joined Jesper Kyd to co-score Assassin's Creed: Revelations and he also scored Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure with a main theme from Hans Zimmer. This time around we discuss the video game world and how Lorne who previously had never been a gamer has found a new niche that he's fallen in love with. We also discuss his work on Sherlock Holmers: A Game Of Shadows where he did additional music with Hans and was also the score producer. We go on discussing what the role of a "score producer" is and a few other interesting tidbits including a documentary he composed for the BBC. It was a great honor to chat with Lorne once again. If you haven't heard my first interview with him I highly suggest it as well. Lorne is a fun, lively and animated personality who has accomplished a lot this past year working on some extremely big projects.
