Hanan Townshend on To the Wonder

[Maestro 147]

Hey gang—

If it tickles your fancy, I interviewed New Zealand composer Hanan Townshend about his work on Terrence Malick's new film, To the Wonder. (He first worked with Malick on The Tree of Life, interning and filling in some of the gaps. And he's only 26!) Malick is, in my opinion, one of the most brilliant directors out there, and his use of music is rather unorthodox (he tends to favor a collage of existing/concert pieces). Townshend relays his experience on To the Wonder and offers a little insight into Malick's musical mind and process.
