YouTube Description
as posted by the channelSubscribe to VICE News here
Oscar-nominee Alexandre Desplat has a bone to pick with today's radio stations.
"Why doesn't radio play various type of music? There's a lot of mainstream of course, and some specific radio [stations] but mainstream is also always pop [music]," Desplat told VICE News.
Desplat is a nine-time Oscar nominated French composer, who's up for an Oscar this weekend for Best Original Score, for "The Shape of Water."
He's also this week's Music Critic on VICE News Tonight. Desplat reviewed trailer music from The Wrinkle in Time, Unsane, and Ready Player One.
But he couldn't help mentioning that he'd rather listen to music "without a beat," such as a string quartet or a classical accordion.
"Music is a huge world that should be merging and collaborating all the time," said Desplat. "When I write music for films, I can have the greatest musicians from different genres come together in one room, in one studio, and record together. That's why I write for films."
