Soundboard
The Steinway & Sons Podcast
Stewart Copeland
If you still think of Stewart Copeland as the progressive drummer for the seminal rock band The Police, that’s so “four operas ago.” His second act as a film composer and performing-arts collaborator has been unfolding for over thirty years. He speaks to Soundboard producer/host Ben Finane — Editor in Chief at Steinway’s award-winning online music magazine listenmusicculture.com — about his experiences in and lessons gleaned from orchestral music.
‘The professional, hired-gun film-hack composer actually has more chops than an artist — by necessity.’
