Steven J. Horowitz Senior Music Writer Nonesuch Records is celebrating its 60th birthday in a big way.

The 38th annual Imagen Awards celebrated Latino excellence and it was a flamin’ night for Eva Longoria who took the trophy for her feature-length directorial debut.

Fortress Talent Management, a leading agency for composers and music supervisors, has promoted Jake Kozarec to partner.

Jon Burlingame Five of this year’s six nominees for main title design are for shows from the science-fiction, fantasy or horror genres. Only “The White Lotus” is a conventional drama.

He’s received two Academy Awards, two BAFTA awards, two Grammys, 19 Latin Grammys, and is an Emmy nominee for his work on HBO’s “The Last of Us.”

The Last Of Us Part 2, is a game that was released just three years ago. TLOU Part 2 was a game loved and hated by many, but overall it was accepted pretty well. With the release of HBO’s The Last Of Us, popularity for the franchise shot back up thanks to Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey’s amazing job as Joel and Ellie.

Jon Burlingame Despite all the musical superstars who entered this year’s Emmy competition, only one – Ed Sheeran – managed to score when the 75th annual Emmy Award nominations were announced Wednesday. Sheeran was nominated (along with co-writers Max Martin and Foy Vance) for the song “A Beautiful Game” for the season 3 finale of “Ted Lasso,” one of two songs from the popular Apple TV+ series that made it into the music-and-lyrics category. Emmy’s 550-member music peer group ignored the original songs entered by Dolly Parton, David Byrne, Steve Martin, Kid Cudi, Donald Glover and Lainey Wilson, as well as those from such Oscar-winning tunesmiths as Alan Menken, Steven Schwartz, Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez.

Amon Warmann Guest Contributor Fantasy show composers Gustavo Santaolalla (“The Last of Us”), Bear McCreary (“The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power”) and Ramin Djawadi (“House of the Dragon”) knew going in that their respective projects had built-in audiences — and that those fandoms should be kept in mind while creating their scores.  “The Last of Us” showrunners Neil Druckmann and Craig Mazin told Santaolalla that music needed to be “another character” for the HBO series adapted from the video game he previously scored. Rather than create new themes, Santaolalla organically transitioned the music to TV. The South American instrument called “the ronroco,” which he used to write “The Last of Us” theme, was integral in keeping that connectivity for fans who had experienced Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie’s (Bella Ramsay) journey before. 

Caroline Framke Chief TV Critic“Promised Land,” Matt Lopez’s new ABC drama, makes the most of its 44 minute runtime. Barely a scene goes by without a reveal, or at least a dramatic music cue hinting at a reveal soon to come.

In honor of the upcoming release of “Finch” on Apple TV+ and the release of the film’s soundtrack via Lakeshore Records, we’re thrilled to give our readers an exclusive peek at the score for the sci-fi film from Oscar-winning composer, Gustavo Santaolalla. As you can hear in the title track, “Finch,” the score for the film is just as epic and beautiful as you’d expect from a feature helmed by Miguel Sapochnik and starring Tom Hanks about a man venturing out into the post-apocalypse with his trusty dog and his newly created robot companion.
