The Blank Chat
On each new episode, host Charles Steinberg will get into it with a different character central in the production of music for the moving image. No doubt, many of these names will belong to composers, but the seat is open to all manner of artists. The skilled technicians and musicians who bring the compositions to life, music supervisors who source the recorded songs that shape the telling of a story, really any and all admirers and connoisseurs of this form of music who want to share their unique perspectives.
