Ever wonder what Steve Jablonsky’s up to when he’s not working on the music for a Transformers film? As announced on his Twitter feed, Steve’s in his own studio as a featured guest on Episode #6 of Epicleff Media’s Score: The Podcast, following up his participation in last year’s Score: A Film Music Documentary.
Steve Jablonsky joins to talk about his work with Michael Bay on five Transformers films, The Island and Pain & Gain — and how Bay communicates his elaborate visual style and explosions, sometimes before the special effects even exist.
Steve recalls collaborating with Linkin Park and Imagine Dragons in ways that ensured their songs and his scores shared similar musical elements throughout the Transformers films, thereby avoiding “tacked on” rock songs played during the credits. Additional content includes Steve sharing his experience of interning fresh out of college for none other than Hans Zimmer.
