Giveaway — Defiance Movie Soundtrack
The Academy Award nominated soundtrack for Defiance is extraordinary. Joshua Bell plays the violin to James Norton Howard’s music. The collaboration is stupendous. The violin is a character in itself and so much part of the Eastern Europe culture that the film could not be without. I had a chance to chat with Joshua the other day and this is what he had to say about the movie soundtrack.
Kenna: Why do you think the violin reaches the soul of a movie or the emotions of a movie so well?
Joshua: Like the human voice, the sound of the violin seems to go straight to the listener’s heart. The violin was a very much a part of the culture of Eastern Europe and so it was appropriate for it to be integrated into the film.
Kenna: How much did you and James Norton Howard collaborate on the soundtrack? How was the process of the collaboration carried out?
Joshua: I went into the studio with James and the orchestra and director Ed Zwick. The part was written for me already, but I enjoyed helping him tweak the violin part here and there. I was pleased that James decided to use the violin so prominently in the film. Even playing my small part in the telling of this remarkable story was a privilege.
