Composer, Ilan Eshkeri (Ghost of Tsushima, Space Station Earth, Sims 4, Stardust)

(TSAP S03E19)


Sam speaks with composer, Ilan Eshkeri, about his journey
into music composition, his recent work on Ghost of Tsushima,
collaborating with Shigeru Umebayashi, Space Station
Earth and more!  


"Ilan Eshkeri is an award winning composer,
artist, songwriter, producer and creator. Eshkeri’s work is
performed in concert halls, theatres, galleries, on film &
television and video games; his eclectic body of work is linked
by his love of narrative.


Ilan is currently creating music for A Perfect Planet, his fourth
collaboration with the legendary naturalist David Attenborough.
Recently, Ilan and Ralph Fiennes completed their third film
together – a biopic about Rudolf Nureyev, ‘The White Crow’. This
followed the creation of a ballet ‘Narcissus and Echo’,
choreographed by famed dancer Sergei Polunin with set designs by
David LaChapelle and a ballet commission from Rambert Dance
Company.


Ilan has collaborated with Burberry on a landmark fashion show,
where he composed and conducted a choral symphonic suite,
‘Reliquary’, which then reached no.1 in the UK classical chart.
Before this, he worked with astronaut Tim Peake and the European
Space Agency on a film documenting his mission to the
International Space Station. Ilan continues his collaboration
with Tim Peake and ESA with his spell-binding show ‘Space Station
Earth’ last performed in Stockholm to an audience of 10,000.
Other performance highlights include a unique concert for
thousands in the gardens of the Louvre in Paris, the Royal Albert
Hall in London and the Rudolfinum in Prague."


NOTE: The quality of Ilan's audio was lower due to
technical issues. Huge thanks to our editor, Toivo Kallio for
improving it greatly and we hope you still enjoy this
