Paul Leonard-Morgan is a composer whose music has graced the screens throughout the land. From soundtracks to bands, he has worked with artists of the calibre of Isobel Campbell, Texas, Snow Patrol, Simple Minds, Craig Armstrong, Belle and Sebastian, Joy Zipper, Horse, The Young Knives and Sharleen Spiteri.
So I remember sitting there watching films, listening to the
soundtracks and thinking, "what a cool job". And listening to my
mum's old records and thinking how cool it would be to work with
bands. And then the two things just kind of started to happen at the
same time. In a little church in Glasgow where all the bands would
come out to play and to record. I had started writing some music for
films in a studio at the back of Cava Studios. And then the bands
next door would ask me to help out on their records. Arranging the
string parts, playing keyboards, conducting - that kind of stuff. And
as I worked with more bands, the film guys kind of liked it, and I
did more soundtracks. And as I did more soundtracks, the bands kind
of liked it, so I worked with more bands. And then I decided to write
my own album, and I got those bands that liked the films that liked
the bands to write some stuff with me. I call it Filmtales, cos I had
to call it something and people say it sounds quite cinematic.
Personally, I wouldn't read too much into that, though. And that's
pretty much how we get to here. The special edition of my album's just been released, and
I'm still sitting here thinking "what a cool job"....
