Daniel Pemberton on New Regency’s 'Amsterdam'

“This score blows!” according to its creator, EMMY® Award-winning and Academy® Award-nominated composer Daniel Pemberton who, in this episode of "The Big Score", is giving fans a look behind the inspiration for the score to 20th Century Studios’ film Amsterdam. Taking the cue from the film’s main characters, three unsung heroes who changed the course of history, Pemberton recalls how he turned to the “unsung heroes of the orchestra,” the woodwinds including flutes, clarinets, oboes, saxophones and bassoons to mirror the film’s optimism, lightness, emotion and humor. He also added crotales, drums and plucked piano strings to try and create a more unique and unusual sound palette for the score and reveals that there are some very personal moments within this score, alongside a good dose of mystery, adventure and intrigue and hopes that “people find it as intriguing a musical journey as the movie itself.” Learn more about your ad choices.
