I have noticed a tendency to sound like John Barry as well, but believe it or not, that is entirely accidental. I listen to and study his scores more than any other composers. Of course, John Williams tops the list for me. I wanted to know, first of all, about his influences. Kraemer agreed to answer some questions recently. What comes through is Kraemer’s ideas, his thinking, and I was curious about a few things. But the sound is really all Kraemer, and his work is a breath of fresh air in a film-music environment that sounds very much the same from composer to composer. The score, which is available from La-La Land Records, is darkly melodic, and one can hear, now and then, the influences of John Williams, John Barry, and Michael Giacchino. Now he’s returned to the big screen with JACK REACHER, the new Tom Cruise movie. He composed the music for THE WAY OF THE GUN some years back, then did a lot of television and documentary work. Joe Kraemer has been teasing the film business for years with his moody, melodic scores. An Interview with Joe Kraemer by Tony Buchsbaum
