Last month London-based Frenchman Franz Kirmann returned to his analog hardware roots for his Madrapour LP on our Ransom Note cassette sub-label BYTES. A departure from the digital sound collages of his last album Elysian Park for Denovali Records back in 2016, Franz continues his sonic exploration of the haunting and the cinematic, something he also practises in his electronic/post-classical project Piano Interrupted with composter Tom Hodge.In his own words "like a Monday this mix is a bit all over the place"; a mishmash of experimental and downtempo musings to kick off your week...

Franz Kirmann: The 'Monday Is Ok' Mix

Tom Hodge and Franz Kirmann have had a long standing collaborative relationship. As Piano Interrupted, they have released three albums, Landscapes of the Unfinished, Two by Four and The Unified Field on experimental German label, Denovali Records. More recently, together Tom and Franz composed the score for brand new eight-part BBC / AMC drama McMafia starring James Norton, the first episode of which aired on BBC One on New Year's Day 2018 in the UK, and 26th February on AMC in the US. In this episode, the duo discusses how they came to write a more classic piece for the McMafia main titles after having written a number of demos that were more in line with their established pulsing, electronic sound. They share about how their discussions with the director James Watkins helped to shape their final composition and how, in the end, the actual main titles sequence of the series was edited to fit their piece.ANNOTATED SEGMENTS01:17- Origins of the main title with "McMafia Main Title theme"03:12- "Demo 1 - Ekongting Song"04:12- "Demo 2 - Fifteen Shades of Saraba"04:56- The final version06:36- "McMafia Main Title theme"SOUNDTRACKThe original soundtrack for MCMAFIA is available on Amazon.com, iTunes, and is streaming on Spotify and Apple Music.MORE ABOUT THE COMPOSERYou can also hear more music and find out more about Tom Hodge &amp; Franz Kirmann at their official sites: https://www.tomhodge.com/ and https://www.franzkirmann.com/ or you can follow them on Twitter at @tom_hodge or @franzkirmann.ABOUT THE ANNOTATORProduced by Christopher Coleman (@ccoleman) and you can Find more episodes at THEANNOTATOR.NET or you can subscribe via iTunes, Stitcher Radio or wherever you find quality podcasts.FOLLOW USTwitter @audioannotatorFacebook @TheAnnotatorEmail theannotatorpodcast@gmail.comSUBSCRIBEiTunesSpotifyStitcher RadioGoogle Play PodcastsRSS Feed
