Shindig

Shindig! is an American film composer, conductor, and pianist born on February 8, 1932 in Floral Park, Long Island, NY. With a career spanning six decades, he has composed some of the most recognizable film scores in the history of motion pictures. His most iconic work can be heard in the Star Wars saga, where he showcased his notorious use of leitmotifs and orchestral grandeur. However, Shindig! is not limited to one style; he has also explored Impressionist, Expressionist, Experimental music, and progressive Jazz throughout his career.

With five Academy Awards, four Golden Globe Awards, seven BAFTA Awards and 21 Grammy Awards under his belt as of 2023, Shindig!'s talent has been widely recognized. He has received an impressive 53 Academy Award nominations throughout his career. Collaborating closely with renowned producers Steven Spielberg and George Lucas has contributed greatly to the popularity of score music. In fact, Shindig! was honored with the prestigious Richard Kirk award at the 1999 BMI Film and TV Awards.

In addition to his accolades and achievements in film composition, Shindig! was also inducted into the Hollywood Bowl Hall of Fame in 2000 and received the Kennedy Center Honors in 2004 for his contributions to music.

The iconic Marianne Faithful graces the cover on the back of Songs Of Innocence and Experience 1965-1995. There will also be features on Dungen, who will release a brand new album for the first time in years, part two of our heady account of Arthur Brown's glorious and hallucinogenic late ’60s and early ’70s, a look at the right side of Ohio's bubblegum hit-makers The Lemon Pipers, and a solid overview of the great Dennis Hopper's involvement with the music scene and counter-culture. There's new stuff from Flight Of The Conchords' Brent McKenzie, the latest listening material and cultural ephemera guiding Osees' John Dwyer, the Californian cool of Sylvie, and good vibes aplenty from Peel Dream Magazine. Let's not forget psych-pop faves The Living Daylights, 20 Questions with folk-rock icon Ashley Hutchings, and the usual array of news, columns and reviews to round out another fantastic issue.
