Description

In this episode, David Coscina catches up with Christopher Willis on his recent work, which includes the incredible music for the episode DEMON 79 from the TV series BLACK MIRROR as well as his lyrical score for the feature animated film LAMYA'S POEM.

Willis is an Emmy Award-winning composer, arranger, songwriter, and pianist whose diverse career spans film and television soundtracks, interactive media, popular music, and concert works. He trained as a concert pianist at the Royal Academy of Music in London and later as a musicologist, earning a PhD in eighteenth-century music from Cambridge University.

His film work includes THE DEATH OF STALIN and THE PERSONAL HISTORY OF DAVID COPPERFIELD, while his work in television spans projects such as VEEP, MICKY MOUSE CARTOON SHORTS, and SCHMIGADOON! He has also recently worked as an orchestral arranger on Eva Cassidy's I Can Only Be Me, recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra.
