Score to Screen with Richard Reed Parry (The Nest)

Richard Reed Parry is the featured guest on this Score to Screen podcast. The Nest composer explains how his intuitive response to watching the entirety of the film without music inspired how he devised the acoustic score. The Nest follows Rory (Jude Law), an ambitious entrepreneur and former commodities broker, who persuades his American wife, Allison (Carrie Coon), and their children to leave the comforts of suburban America and return to his native England during the 1980s. Sensing opportunity, Rory rejoins his former firm and leases a centuries-old country manor, with grounds for Allison’s horses and plans to build a stable. Soon the promise of a lucrative new beginning starts to unravel, the couple have to face the unwelcome truths lying beneath the surface of their marriage. Richard Reed Parry is the musical polymath at the heart of the endlessly inventive art rock band Arcade Fire, but his work and story reach far beyond. As well as navigating Arcade Fire's meteoric rollercoaster ride around most of the globe over the past fifteen years, he also released his debut album as composer for Music For Heart and Breath in 2014, formed and toured in the acclaimed contemporary instrumental ensemble Bell Orchestre with Arcade Fire violinist Sarah Neufeld, formed the sonic folk ensemble Quiet River of Dust, and collaborated and performed endlessly with artists from across a dazzling musical/artistic spectrum including David Bowie, David Byrne, the New York Philharmonic, Neil Young, and more. He has won a Grammy Award for Album of the Year, multiple Juno Awards for both Arcade Fire and Bell Orchestre, The Polaris Prize, Brit Awards, and Socan Awards among others. The Nest is Parry’s debut feature film score as solo composer. The Score to Screen podcast series is produced and hosted by Crossover Media's Max Horowitz. Listen to The Nest Soundtrack here.
