So, until the first episode airs on WROCK, I thought I’d give my loyal CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO listeners a sneak peak at the first episode.
The format of the show will be a bit different than what you might be used to from an episode of CINEMATIC SOUND. The show will be two hours long. My goal is to play at least 3 scores from new films, TV shows, and/or video games. I’m also going to feature the John Williams track of the week as he’s my favourite composer. I will also play a selection from a new recording of a previously existing score – that could be anything like a new recording of a Golden Age classic to a new interpretation of a brand new score. I will also play a selection from a video game score; brand new or classic. I will end each program with a suite of end title music.
And don’t worry, ALL WROCK shows will be archived here for you to enjoy at any time.
Check out the playlist below for the musical selections on this program.
As always, and especially in this case, I would love to read your feedback and get your suggestions on how I can make this particular show better. I’m also encouraging requests for this show. So, if there is something you want to hear please let me know. Send an EMAIL with your name and what track you want to hear.

Congratulations. I enjoyed your premiere episode (I now absolutely HAVE to pick up the score for Tale of a Lake. An idea for a future show could be a focus on percussion, how drums (from around the world) have been featured in film and television music (Bear McCreary would undoubtedly be featured).
Congratulations again.

Thanks Neil. That’s a great idea for a show. I’ve done a ‘film music with a beat’ program before but a show focusing on the use of percussion in film music sounds intriguing! Thanks for listening!
Many thanx Erik for the Feb 14.2016 episode. Now all you need is an Android app so that I can listen to these on my daily commute. 🙂
Thanks Paul. I’m working on something to help people who want to download the show but I don’t think it’s going to be an app. Thanks for listening.
I too would love a download option to be able to listen on my way to and from work without having to use my streaming data! Love the premiere episode. Congrats again on the new weekly show! -Scott
I am so glad for you that you get to expand your show into this new venue, Erik, and I really like the fact that you’re featuring Golden Age scores on a regular basis. For someone like me, who loves symphonic movie music but mostly knows only the “new” stuff (i.e., post Star Wars and 1977!), these tracks will help fill gaps in my appreciation. Great first episode – can’t wait to check out your new one. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Michael. It’s good to get back in the swing of things. I hope you continue to enjoy this series of programming!
Great stuff, Erik. Love this format. Right away you’ve provided what I love about curated shows – an introduction to a score I’ve never heard of and that I must immediately seek out, the gorgeous Tale of a Lake. Also thanks for The Robe. Golden Age scores are a big blind spot for me, something I’m gradually rectifying. I’m holding out for a re-recording of Tiomkin’s mind-boggling score for Land of the Pharaohs.
