The past 6 weeks have been spent solidly on the new film score, which Leonard-Morgan enjoyed every minute of:"To be asked to score this movie, when half of Hollywood was up for it, is a real compliment. After scoring some orchestral soundtracks last year, I've been working with a few bands, and have been really keen to do a really electronic score, with some orchestra over the top. The film is about a man (Bradley Cooper) who discovers a pill which allows him to access the other 80% of his brain. He becomes hugely rich and successful, but with the usual side-effects of any drug. So it was a perfect opportunity to come up with a them which gradually gets more and more twisted as he's tripping. It's not often you get a chance to do a score like that. The deadlines have been crazy on this, literally 6 weeks from my first chat to Neil (Burger, the director of the Illusionist, feat. Ed Norton) to the final orchestra recordings. I had so little sleep, I was literally chucked on a plane from Glasgow to London for the recordings, hadn't slept for 3 days. Conducted the orchestra at Air Studios, mixed it, then cab to Heathrow, where I slept the entire journey to LAX. I'm now having my Xmas holidays and it's coming up for March!"Leonard-Morgan set up a studio in Santa Monica, Los Angeles only last year and he is already making a name for himself. He currently splits his time between Glasgow, London and LA.Leonard-Morgan's LA studio is in the same building as songwriter Wayne Wilkins (Natasha Bedingfield, Cheryl Cole, Leona Lewis) and producer Spike, so there's always a stream of famous artists through the doors.
