I had the great pleasure of chatting with Grammy Award-winning composer Lorne Balfe while he was in Hong Kong earlier this week. In an epic, free-wheeling conversation we covered everything from performing Top Gun: Maverick live, taking notes from Tom Cruise, composing during COVID, the differences between scoring Hollywood blockbusters and low budget indies, the inevitable encroachment of A.I. on his creative field, and the future of the entire industry.
