It's an eclectic week showcasing diverse talents on this episode of #BTLRadioShow thanks to our special guest actor/comedienne/author ELAINE BALLACE who joins us live, plus our prerecorded exclusive interview with composer BRIAN TYLER talking about the scoring of CLOUDS.

First up, take a listen to our exclusive interview with composer BRIAN TYLER talking about CLOUDS. A definite FYC frontrunner this awards season for this exquisite score, Brian goes in-depth as we talk about musical motifs, instrumentation, his approach to scoring given the original material from musician Zach Sobiech on whose story this film is based, the emotionality of the film and the music, some interesting musical history that led to some of Brian's choices with scoring and instrumentation, and so much more. To see and hear Brian in action as composer, orchestrator, conductor, musician, and providing non-verbal vocals, check out this music video for his ethereal theme from CLOUDS. As you can see in this video, Brian is one of those rarities in the world of musical composition and scoring in that not only is he able to compose and perform each musical instrument, but he does so with his heart every step of the way.

The soundtrack for CLOUDS, released by Interscope, contains all of the vocal tracks from the film and is currently available. The CLOUDS original score album from Walt Disney Records featuring Brian's complete score is also now available at all brick & mortar and online music retailers. Watch the film CLOUDS exclusively on Disney+.

And then get ready because she's baaaack! The fabulous ELAINE BALLACE is back with us, this time talking about another myriad of projects – the feature films FREE LUNCH EXPRESS and LOVE WITHOUT HAIRS, plus her new book HOW TO WRITE A BOOK CAMP ELAINE STYLE.

Last week you heard writer/director Lenny Britton and producer/actor Sam Brittan talk about FREE LUNCH EXPRESS and now Elaine continues the conversation from her perspective as not only an actor, but an actor playing a real-life person, namely Jane Sanders. But Elaine has sooooo much more happening and we delve into it all, including her lead role in LOVE WITHOUT HAIRS (now on Amazon Prime), a two-hander with Anthony Gaeta and directed and her new book, HOW TO WRITE A BOOK CAMP ELAINE STYLE. Not only do we talk about Elaine's current projects, but we learn a lot about Elaine and how she brings her life experiences (including that as a school teacher!) to her performances and to her outlook on life. Talent, effervescence, and kindness all rolled into one, this is one fun-filled, energetic conversation you don't want to miss!

And if you want to pick up a copy of Elaine's book (personally autographed no less) just in time for holiday gift-giving, you can order it from Elaine directly on Facebook or go to https://platzer.media/elaine.
