Those records were everything from classical music to Mexican music to jazz music - and all kinds of jazz music, from serious jazz to swing and big band. So my dad had this great collection down in the basement of all of those records. When they were done playing with them they would always give them to us. But RCA used to send them all these records that he would play on the stereo systems as demos. They sold stereos and televisions and washers, dryers, all kinds of stuff. Michael Giacchino: My great uncle, my mom’s uncle, had an appliance store in Philadelphia and it was called Peter’s TV. : So growing up in New Jersey, what can you tell me about how you became interested in classical music and composing? Well, you’re kind of stuck right in the middle. Well, I’ve always felt a kinship with New Jersey being from Staten Island. I was closer to Philadelphia where I grew up, but I lived in New York and Manhattan, Jersey City, Hoboken for about six, seven years. So he would always go over and visit them. Yeah, one of my best friends, when I was living in New York, his cousins lived there. : I’m speaking to you from my parents’ house in Staten Island. Michael Giacchino: Yes, I’m from New Jersey.
To mark what will surely be an evening long remembered, spoke with Giacchino about his father’s record collection, scoring Rogue One, and how this concert differs just a little from his original birthday plans. In addition, a portion of all proceeds from the concert with go directly to the Royal Albert Hall’s “Education and Outreach” projects. Hosted by Adam Savage, tickets for the event are on sale now, and many of the filmmakers Giacchino has worked with will be in attendance, including J.J. The composer - who, with Rogue One, was the first person not named John Williams to score a Star Wars film - has written the music for some of the biggest films of the modern era, including all three new Star Trek movies, Spider-Man: Homecoming, and War for the Planet of the Apes, among many others. On Friday, October 20, Giacchino will celebrate his 50th birthday with a concert dubbed Michael Giacchino at 50 at the Royal Albert Hall in London, playing suites from across his catalog. Strings swell from melancholy to hopeful, stirring something inside us.
Staccato horns punctuate a villain’s anger.
And we feel so much not just because of the imagery and the words, but also because of the music. We move from fear to faith in minutes if not seconds. The success and sacrifice of our fallen heroes. We understand the might of the Death Star. As Rogue One nears its end, our emotions sway back and forth.
