Award-winning composer David Arnold has been added to the line-up for the Music Show, which is RDS-bound on October 3 and 4.
Arnold has scored five consecutive James Bond movies starting with 1999’s The World Is Not Enough; won a ‘Best Instrumental Composition Written For A Motion Picture’ Grammy for Independence Day; collaborated with the likes of Kaiser Chiefs, Massive Attack, Chris Cornell, Shirley Manson, Pulp and Bjork; and is currently working on 2010’s The Chronicles Of Narnia: The Voyage Of The Dawn Treader.
He also happens to be Damien Rice’s second cousin, giving Damo copious amounts of equipment and advice whilst he was assembling his O album.
Add in his involvement with Little Britain and ambassadorial role for the CARE International aid agency, and there’ll be plenty to talk to David about!
The Music Show, presented by Hot Press in association with RTE 2FM, The Irish Independent & The Sunday Independent, runs from October 3-4th in The RDS, Dublin. Saturday 3rd October 10 am – 6.30 pm, Sunday 4th October 11 am – 6 pm.
Tickets available on Ticketmaster
I’m perfectly OK with a different composer for VotDT, though I prefer the continuity of a single composer, but I really hope he keeps some of the existing themes from LWW & PC. The Narnia soundtracks so far have been wonderful. I’m looking forward to seeing a different perspective from this new director/composer team.
your right what difference would it make
I think it’s kinda cool that they’re bringing a new guy in. We don’t need a redundant score running rampant. 😉
