All Access: Alan Silvestri

On this episode of All Access we are so honored to be joined by the simply amazing Alan Silvestri. Alan's work as a composer truly needs no introduction as he has given us some of the most iconic scores of all-time. We discuss his background and path to composing, and how his beginning in jazz led him to end up working on small productions. He recounts the first time he ever met Robert Zemeckis, and how he came onboard to score Romancing The Stone. Alan continues to take us through his career highlights including Back To The Future, Forrest Gump, Predator, Cast Away and also his most current score to Robert Zemeckis' Allied. Hear stories such as how the Predator scoring sessions failed to come together in Europe and how he had to re-record in Los Angeles, or how Alan sat with Robert Zemeckis through the first half of Cast Away and could not find a moment he felt that needed score, and Alan opens up about the time he was hired on Pirates Of The Caribbean but was ultimately replaced. We even talk about how Alan and his family decided to start a winery up in Carmel where they live. Alan Silvestri is truly one of the warmest, kindest and most interesting human beings you'll ever meet. Enjoy a truly special discussion with one of the industry's most beloved composers.

love you pop. he is my grandpa. he is better then he seems. one of the best men alive

[Enzini]

His score for Polar Express is the most emotionally expressive and gut-wrenchingly beautiful music I’ve ever heard. It gives me emotions I cannot describe. This man has given us all so much. Absolute legend!

[Cheeks]

Holy shit, you got alan silvestri. That's HUGE good on you man.

[BooneLuleyo]

The man behind the score of the Back to the Future trilogy, Predator, Predator 2, Super Mario Bros, Judge Dredd, The Quick and the Dead, The Parent Trap and the Avengers movies. What a legend. Long live to Mr. Silvestri :)

[eyespythesky]

This man is a living legend! For all you Predator fans go to 37:07

[thehh]

The man behind the Avengers theme, brilliant!

[RobertOrgRobert]

Mr Silvestri's Predator score is unfairly underrated ! Using a battery of instruments, blasting out rhythmic & percussive brass with added percussion in the chase scenes,   this is very serious stuff ! Each one of the title's is a mini suite in itself including the main theme ! Give it a try.

[drewkatonak]

Alan Sivestri truly the best composer his music is a masterpiece of suspense and action packed up

[King_Colombia_Inc]

Had no idea that the legend behind the Avengers theme was also behind the Back to the Future theme until now.

Dear Mr. Silvestri, I enoyed and learned from your spectacular scores for most of my life. Beautiful, innovative, and ballsy, often exhibiting pure genius. One of the very few most important film composers of all time.
Also, very intelligent interview, inobtrusive and right on the money, subscribed
