Episodes
Soundtracks, library and television music, usually brought to you by Mr. Jonny Trunk. This week’s show (and the first podcast in ages, for which we are truly and humbly sorry) comes to you from the Science Museum in London’s South Kensington, and was broadcast both live on Resonance FM and down a 27 foot-long loudspeaker from 1929. Lovingly restored by Aleksander Kolkowski and his team from the original design by Roderick Denman, today’s hour-long special features a carefully curated...

Soundtracks, library and television music and other assorted jollies with ringmaster Jonny Trunk. Today’s guest is rock master and soundtrack composer John Parish. Infamous for his collaborations with PJ Harvey, Parish has been quietly forging his career in the world of independent film, creating inspired soundscapes and scores for a number of hip art-house movies. His first ever soundtrack compilation has just been issued on Thrill Jockey Records and we’re very chuffed to have him on the...

Having found this show down the back of the Resonance sofa, we literally cannot believe listeners haven’t been picketing the Resonance studios for it’s release. Get downloading, quick!

Soundtracks, library music and other assorted jollies with Jonny Trunk. After a ‘well-earned’ summer break (that’s what it says here), Jonny returns with a 2 hour beats of a show examining the awesome releases of the Olympic summer. He also uses the word ‘chillax’ for which he will be disciplined later. Headphones on…

Film soundtracks, library music and tank top appreciation with Jonny Trunk. Back in 2011 the OST Show travelled to Swindon to meet the great Andy Partridge. Here’s how it went.

Soundtracks, library music and assorted tittle-tattle brought to you by Jonny Trunk. With February looming large, what better time to look back at some of last year’s highlights? It’s probably best not to question the timing of these podcasts and just be glad they exist. Anyway, this week Jonny present a superb overview of the soundtrack releases of 2012. A feast that includes musical morcels from Moonrise Kingdom to lost recording found on a Paris dump.

These are rare beasts indeed, all found by a dedicated OST listener who wanted to share his musical fortune with us all.

Superb OST Show with Jonny ‘Spellcheck, Dammit!’ Trunk here with a music trip to Greece. Yes, Greek film music and Greek soundtrack Gods – Theodorakis, Vangelis, Hadjidakis etc and not a plate smashing sequence in sight. Awesome, beautiful, abstract and rarely heard sounds…

Jonny Trunk presents the Resonance FM tenth anniversary OST Show, with a 2 hour review of the film music, TV music and soundtracks we have played, discovered, dug up and championed in the last exciting decade. Marvellous! He also takes time out to give Robin The Fog a slap for not uploading these archive podcasts more regularly. More treats coming soon and more regularly, we promise… Here’s to the next ten years!

Soundtracks, library and television music plus other assorted ephemera brought to you this week by Robin The Fog. Having just released ‘The Ghosts Of Bush’, a well-received LP of his recordings of the former World Service building Bush House and earning himself the title of ‘The BBC’s Resident Hauntologist’, it seemed only good and right to invite Mr. Fog to present a special edition of the programme looking at the BBC’s own in-house label and some of the weird and wonderful records they’ve...

Jonny Trunk is joined by Andrews “Aspergers” Roberts, one of the great factual dustbins in the UK. Andrews is incredible, and knows dangerous amounts about vintage TV and film. Here he chooses to hang out and talk about ITC, The Saint and cars a lot. An awful lot. Completely brilliant, but you may find your brain starting to seep out of your ears well before the end…

Soundtrack, library, television and other raunchy swaggering with Jonny Trunk This week’s podcast (and the first for ages, sorry about that) is from April 2012 when the gorgeous Carry On thespian legend Fenella Fielding brought her rich, velvety tones to the studio and Jonny almost to his knees with excitement. After some initial trouble mic-ing the dear lady, we moved onto a playlist of some of her greatest moments, including a big bad mouse, an incredibly rare and incredibly sensual,...

Soundtracks, library and television music with Jonny Trunk. Something of a curveball for you this week, as rather than bring you the recent DJ Food episode (don’t worry, it’s coming!), the man otherwise known as Mr. Strictly Kev has been kind enough to send us a copy of his original OST appearance way back in 2004. We’re more than delighted to have it, partly because we weren’t terribly good at archiving ourselves back then, but mostly because at the time Kev was knee-deep in a project...

Soundtracks, library music and other agreeable delights with Jonny Trunk. This week – David Cain! WOW! In the mid 1960s the BBC Radiophonic Workshop was home to three important figures: Delia Derbyshire, John Baker and today’s very special guest. Coming all the way from Poland on his way to a Maths conference, David pops in to talk Radiophonics with our man Trunk. Set course for two hours in the company of a radiophonic legend.

Soundtracks, library music and other dirty smut with Jonny Trunk. Today he’s joined by Fiona Staniland, Morricone fan and now artist interpreting the wordless work of the maestro. Over the last year Fiona has been developing a show simply called “Morricone In Love” where, backed by her quintet (and the original films), performs the stunning music written for the underground Giallo movies of the 1968 – 1972 period. Fiona also treated us to a live performance of a couple of her favourites in...

Soundtracks, library and televisual soundtrack-type shenanigans with Jonny Trunk. Today’s archive podcast is yet another show from 2010, when your host was joined by author, DJ, and crate-digging authority Bill Brewster. Co-founder of the highly influential ‘DJ History’ website, which started as a simple DJ and music forum and then mutated and grown into a publisher, label and reference point for legions of ‘clued-up DJs, record collectors and unshaven misanthropes’. Something tells me the...

Film soundtracks, library and television music with Jonny Trunk. Due to popular demand here it is, our Andy Weatherall special from 2010. ‘What a guy, what records!’ said Jonny, who is rarely impressed by anything, which just goes to show what a momentous occasion it was when the producer, musician, DJ and all-round genius paid us a visit. What more needs to be said?

Film soundtracks, library and television music with Jonny Trunk. Kicking off this latest blast of missives from the OST archive we’re delighted to unveil this very special edition from 2010 featuring Moon Wiring Club! The man described by The Advisory Circle as ‘the inevitable Mr Ian Hodgson’ joins us in the studio to play some of his favourite records and a smattering of his own ‘delightfully other’ recordings. Speaking of which, this podcast is rather well-timed, as he just so happens to...

Soundtracks, library and television music with Jonny Trunk. Today Ian Helliwell is coming onto the OST Show. Ian lives in Brighton, is somewhat of an archivist and dare we say it, a polymath. He has spent the last few years, investigating (amongst many other things) the life and work of a certain F.C. Judd. Frederick Judd was responsible for some very early electronic music in the UK, wrote extensively on the subject and much of his musical work was issued on the Studio G library label. Ian...

Soundtracks, Library Music and all that jazz with Jonny Trunk. Today’s special guest is Alan McKinnon, ace record collector. He’s come all the way from Lewisham with a sack full of decidedly groovy and obscure jazz records, some of which even Jonny isn’t familiar with (not that he’ll admit it). There’s also a healthy dose of ‘pancake angst’ and the usual extremely silly competition, this week mixing films and clothes. Get Cardi, anyone?

Soundtracks, library and television music hosted by Jonny Trunk. Today – Morricone Pop! We examine exceptionally rare Morricone collaborations. All non soundtrack works, these superb records date from 1958 and run through to about 1965, crossing from classic Italain pop to jazz and more experimental recordings.We’ll also be playing the rarely heard Pastures OF Plenty, the 1962 pop vocal by Pete Tevis that was to become A Fistful Of Dollars three years later. Result! Incidentally, sorry this...

Soundtracks, library and television music hosted by Jonny Trunk. Special guest today is Adrian Corker, musician and film music composer. He has collaborated with, amongst others, Peter Greenaway and Michael Nyman, and has written and composed for over 15 films. His latest work is the soundtrack to acclaimed documentary Way OF The Morris, a soundtrack that is released in November. And in the usual combination of sublime and ridiculous, there’s cheap laughs to be had in another classic...

Evenin’ all. I was proceeding down Borough High Street in a leisurely manner on the afternoon of June 18th, when I spotted the Defendant Jonny Trunk of 999 Letsby Avenue, willfully engaging in a special Crime Jazz edition of the OST Show, featuring classic cues by Bernstein, Ellington, Waxman and a plenitude of others. I had no option other than to feel his collar. Each week The OST Show welcomes a guest (a collector, composer, director, artist) or specialises in a specific film music genre...
