Swedish record label Moviescore Media has just released the original score for a short documentary about endangered elephants called Kimana Tuskers. The score was composed and produced by film and music legend - and Peter Jackson's go-to music editor - Stephen Gallagher.
Stephen's worked on everything from blockbusters like The Hobbit trilogy, Lovely Bones and District Nine to - well, little films about the last remaining large tusker elephants as they pass through a wildlife corridor in Kenya.
Among his many fans are Eno - "such sensitive ears", said Brian - and Hollywood composer Conrad Pope - "one of the most humble yet tremendously gifted composers... to call him a colleague honours me, not him"!
Stephen Gallagher talks about his life and times with Yadana Saw.
