Premier Music’s Randall Poster on the nuts and bolts of clearing songs and why it’s “not really a victory” if you leave a movie thinking the music’s the best part.
Poster’s film projects in the next several months include music supervision for the fall’s The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar , Priscilla , Killers of the Flower Moon , as well as Joker: Folie á Deux and Hit Man .And that’s just his day job. Amid the pandemic, an unlikely new passion became a calling when Poster started the Birdsong Project, enlisting his diverse group of artist friends to create music inspired by or incorporating birdsong in an effort to benefit avian life.
I view my work as a filmmaker, not just a person who deals with the music — using music to best tell a story, to compensate where the story needs a bit of help and having a really candid and fluid relationship with directors and producers. People always say to me, “Oh, Randy Poster’s the guy who picks the music for the Wes Anderson movies” — but I don’t pick the music. I don’t want to be the one who does. Directors pick.
A beaded African tribal hat Poster bought from a street vendor on Manhattan’s Houston Street. “As we started reaching out to artists we loved to make album covers for the box set, I found myself looking at all sorts of bird- centric pieces, and I couldn’t resist them.”I’m a New York City kid; I’m not really a nature boy.
