Making A Soundtrack season 2 is produced by Gareth Davies, Dan Watts and Tristan Noon.  


Ever wondered about the unseen hands that shape the music behind your favorite films and games? Making A Soundtrack, from The Sound Boutique, pulls back the curtain on the intricate, collaborative world of orchestral scores. While we often credit the composer, this podcast delves into the entire ecosystem-from the orchestrators and copyists who translate ideas into sheet music, to the librarians, contractors, and recording engineers who manage the chaos of a session, right down to the musicians whose collective breath gives the music its soul. Each episode is a conversation with these vital, yet often overlooked, contributors, revealing the practical magic and immense teamwork required to transform a musical idea into a finished soundtrack. You'll hear personal stories, technical challenges, and the quiet triumphs that happen between the first sketch and the final mix. It’s a detailed, human look at an art form built on precision and passion. Tune in for a fresh appreciation of every note you hear.
