My name is Adrian Maiolla and the show that I have been doing on PBSFM for sometime is called The Score.
I play movie soundtrack music and cinematic dialogue. I try to play score music incidental music and some time the actual movie itself. I do on occasions play radio plays. I am drawn to the fact that soundtrack music can tell a story and elucidate emotions while still being complete and somehow separate from the movies that it was scored for. I play allsorts from silent movie music from the twenties, fifties horror and Sci Fi, burlesque camp sixties stuff, detective movies, I have tracked down some comedy movies and off course seventies porno music.
I tend to keep to themes so each show has its own style sometimes I camp up the announcing to suit. I had a ball last year at Halloween. I have had some interviews from people that have either made movies and or had scored some music for a movie. I am very keen to support live movie soundtrack performances. I decided to do a movie soundtrack show in the first place to support the live movie music scene in Melbourne as I was doing a show myself at the time. I have since become a canny collector of music that I believe shows the gamut of the musical genre hunting high an low for something different or in some cases must hear classics.
I started doing insomnia shifts on February 26th 2004 I graduated to a spot on Saturday nights on March the12th 2005 then on the 1st of September 2005 I went to the Midnight Thursday spot that I am in at the moment. So I have done it for a couple of years now.
I would have done about 12 Insomnia spots and twenty eight Saturday night shows and 32 mid night Thursday shows but who is counting.
I originally came to 3PBS with a friend on an open day to see a really good Ska band I took one look at the place took in the vibe and said to myself I can work here this place is cool.
At the time I had a thing going where I had to get myself a qualification large of small every year from 1997 till when I turned forty and the PBS course was as good as any. The course was actually quite challenging it was a vast step up from the technology that I had used on radio before. I found it very difficult to do the demo as I had became very self conscious of my work, but after about four tries I braved it and sent a mini disk in. I had always been reluctant to try to do a radio show, as I never believed that I knew enough about any particular music and I never thought it possible. So upon hearing that I got a show on PBS I was over the moon and for some time afterwards as well. I had decided from the start that I was going to do a show playing movie soundtracks as I had a collection of curious stuff and I did not believe that this music should be heard once at the movies and forgotten.
I have always been a fan of the local community radio stations I had been on an antinuclear radio show on 3CR ten years earlier. I love that fact that people you know get up and bands that you can go and see get a shot on the air and more especially the local art scene performing or otherwise gets a voice. Most of the drama, movies, galleries or bands that I have been to or seen I had got the original info from a station such as 3PBS.
My favourite composers are John Barry, Ennio Morricone, Barry Gray, John Williams, Bernhard Herman, Franz Waxman and more currently Danny Elfman. I do also love the work Lisa Gerard and not to mention Wendy Carlos .. just to mention a few.
The Score is about everything cinematic in the realm of music. Playing a wide variety of music composed to enhance the experience of drama, live performance and of course cinema. Including dialogue radio plays and some sound effects. From the days of the live accompanist playing to a silent movie to today’s grandiose orchestrations or electronic soundscapes.
