"Living in the Material World" - документальный фильм Мартина Скорсезе о Джордже Харрисоне

Producer says soundtrack for Scorsese George Harrison doc nearly finished

The latest podcast of Geoff Lloyd's Hometime Show on Absolute Radio in the UK featured a 10-minute segment taped at Abbey Road Studios with Giles Martin, son of Beatles producer Sir George Martin. Martin discussed some of his past projects and current ones.

He called working with the Beatles Rock Band game "great fun" and "a great experience." "The weird thing about it was we spent years making sure every single track in the 'Rock Band' game sounding perfect and how exactly it did on record by it. It's a very complicated thing to do. And the weird thing is working in the video game industry anything you do is gone within two months. I went from working from working with Cirque du Soleil and feeling like a nerd because they're all athletes and acrobats to working with computer games people where I suddenly became Adonis," he said.

Lloyd asked Martin if working so closely with the Beatles recordings as he has make it impossible to hear them in the same way again. "The way I listen to a Beatles track on the radio I really enjoy it. I've done a lot of hours work on Beatles and there's no better band to work on for a lot of hours."

Martin said he's currently working on the soundtrack for the George Harrison Martin Scorsese documentary. "I'm currently working on that, which we're just finishing up, which is really good, really interesting," he told Lloyd. "Music's always been a big part of his (Scorsese) films and he's incredibly precise about what he wants. At the same time, I have to be precise how the Beatles' music should be in 5.1. It's been really good fun." He also said he's working on music for a Cirque du Soleil show about Michael Jackson.

Martin called Abbey Road "the best studio in the world" and says he has his own private area in which to work. He also revealed his favorite biscuit is Chocolate Olivers, which his father brought to a Beatles recording sessions. He said John Lennon liked them so much he bought cases of them.
