In what is surely one of the biggest cinematic events of all time, let alone the year,

Avengers Infinity War, hit screens around the globe last week, breaking records galore and

garnering widespread critical acclaim to boot. So it is with great excitement that we welcome

the directors, Anthony and Joe Russo, to soundtracking, the Screen Music Podcast with me,

Edith Bowman.

Boasting a stellar ensemble cast, Infinity War sees numerous characters from the Marvel Universe

joined forces to prevent Thanas from destroying, well, everything.

Don't worry, though, there are no further spoilers here, not least because I was only allowed to see 20 minutes of the film at the time of recording this interview.

What we do have for you is Anthony and Joe talking about Alan Sylvester's score, their love of needle drops,

Henry Jackman's work on Captain America, the genius that is Mark Mothersbach,

David Schwartz's screwball approach to the music in a resty development

and reflections upon community, which saw the brothers collaborate with Ludwig Gorinson.

Much then to get through, starting with the Avengers theme.

Antoninjo, welcome to soundtracking.

It's a real honour and pleasure to have you guys with us.

Thank you.

Our pleasure to be here.

Let's start with Infinity War.

What I think is wonderful about the Marvel films is almost each Marvel film or section of Marvel films has its own sound.

You guys have got the job of bringing all those together. Where did you start with music with Infinity War?

That's a good question.

Yeah, I mean I think classic commercial cinema is often associated with a piece of score.
