On this episode of the Geektown Behind The Scenes Podcast, I'm chatting with Kevin Matley, composer of the film 'Concrete Cowboy', which is available to watch right now on Netflix UK and worldwide.The movie stars Caleb McLaughlin as Cole, a troubled teen who is sent to live with his estranged father, played by Idris Elba, for the Summer, and finds himself caught between a life of crime and his father's vibrant urban-cowboy subculture. The film is based on the novel 'Ghetto Cowboy' by G. Neri, but these urban riders do actually exist in areas of Philly and Brooklyn in the USA.For the film's score, Kevin purposefully worked with a smaller orchestra and only had them record 1-2 takes in order to expose the humanity within the playing. In order to amplify the intensity for some of the heightened scenes, Kevin picked up everyday items like buckets, bottles, and frypans for the percussionist to use, adding a raw element to his ambient score.

On this episode of the Geektown Behind The Scenes Podcast, I'm chatting with Neil Patel, production designer for Season 2 and 3 of Apple TV’s 'Dickinson'.'Dickinson' is a comedy that audaciously explores the constraints of society, gender and family from the perspective of rebellious young poet Emily Dickinson. Set in the 19th century, the series is a coming-of-age story that finds Emily to be the unexpected hero for our millennial generation.Neil used his training in architecture to bring many intricate designs to life that reflected the look of that period. One of the main focuses for season two was the Evergreens House which belonged to Emily’s brother Austin and his wife Sue. This house is an ornate Victorian Italian Villa Style home draped in a rich palette of blues, greens, and golds.Another focus of this season is the rise of newspapers and automatic printing presses. This gave Neil the opportunity to design an elaborate steam-driven printing press that becomes a visual touchstone for several episodes.
