The Science of Songwriting - Clint Mansell

Steve continues to examine The Science of Songwriting - Clint Mansell discusses how songs can create a sense of terror and how he writes music for the screen.

From euphoria to misery, music has the ability to change people's minds and lives. With help from 大象传媒 Radio 4's Claudia Hammond, Steve investigates the science behind what makes our brain sing. Today, Clint Mansell peels back the layers of emotion in his song-writing to expose how a collection of sound-waves can move people. The Golden Globe winner has previously composed the soundtracks for 'Moon' and 'Black Swan'. He tells Steve the differences in writing for the screen rather than writing in a band, and how terror can be created using simple techniques.
