Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 272: Mostly Horror Rewind — Disasterpeace, "It Follows" Composer
Q: Why did you decide not to continue with other projects like TV scoring after It Follows, at least for a while?
He wanted to avoid being pigeonholed and preferred pursuing personal projects; the experience also underscored the grueling nature of multi-year scoring commitments.
Episode 272: Mostly Horror Rewind — Disasterpeace, "It Follows" Composer
Q: What were your influences for It Follows, and how did you balance nostalgia with a modern sound?
He leaned on synth-driven approaches inspired by 80s horror and classic composers, while using a naiveté about the genre to keep his ideas open and not constrained by expectations.
Episode 272: Mostly Horror Rewind — Disasterpeace, "It Follows" Composer
Q: How did the three-week sprint for It Follows influence your score, and did it push you to explore new techniques?
The tight schedule pushed him to rely heavily on synthesized textures and patches created from scratch, which became a defining feature of the score and a practical solution given the timeframe.
Episode 253: Neon Nightmares & Creative Survival – Inside the Mind of Artist Skinner
Q: If you could pitch Art Show With Skinner to listeners who aren't aware of it yet, how would you describe the show and its expression?
The show is described as Bob Ross in space, a stream-of-consciousness painting experience with a darker, psychedelic twist, blending rapid painting with improvised dialogue and surreal storytelling; it's a transformative, experimental art show with a robust collaborative process.
Episode 253: Neon Nightmares & Creative Survival – Inside the Mind of Artist Skinner
Q: Do you have anything like a formative horror moment you can share that shaped your later work?
Skinner talks about Jaws, Poltergeist, It, and Island of the Alive as early horror touchstones and explains how these images unsettled him as a child and inspired his love for monsters and weird art.
