See Hear Podcast Episode 61 - Interview with Paul Elliott, director of "The Library Music Film"

Chances are very strong that some library tunes are amongst your
favourites….and you may not even be aware of it. Library music has
been used in TV, film or advertisements, and is written and
performed before there is even a requirement for it….a soundtrack
looking for a movie.   Welcome to episode 61 of See Hear
Podcast.   Shawn Lee, Sean Lamberth and Paul Elliott felt that
the composers whose music rocked their world had been hidden in the
shadows way too long, so together, they made a wonderful new
documentary called The Library Music Film. It highlights the
composers, musicians, fans and record labels that were part of the
golden age of library music. In their world, Jerry Goldsmith and
Lalo Schifrin give way to Keith Mansfield, John Cameron and Alan
Hawkshaw. If those names don’t come to your mind, their music is
more than likely lodged in it.   Bernard, Tim and I were
ecstatic to have director Paul Elliott join us to talk about the
making of his film, library musicians, the fans and crate diggers
who have played a large part in preserving the music and giving
credit to the people who’d worked anonymously for years. We had a
great old time putting names to tunes that had appeared in sports,
comedy, kids and crime shows as well as a ton of other things (hip
hop DJs have been sampling much of this music for years).   A
huge thanks to Paul for his time (and solving a 40 year old mystery
for me).   You can download the show by searching for See Hear
podcast on iTunes, Spotify or Stitcher or you can download
from http://seehear.podbean.com …..or whatever podcast
app you favour.   The limited edition soundtrack pressing is
sold out, but the film is available on DVD
fromhttps://thelibrarymusicfilm.bandcamp.com/merch/the-library-music-film-dvd-pal-2
To dip your toe in the water, we’d also recommend a record or CD
called Unusual Sounds on Anthology Recordings. Keep an eye on the
film’s Facebook page to see if there will be a screening in your
town – it’s definitely worth our time.
