JEFF BEAL INTERVIEW: WHEN IN ROME
A soundtrack composer captures the sound of down and dirty Rome circa 100 B.C.
Jeff Beal is a soundtrack composer with a personal style. His scores for HBO's Carnivale and films like Pollack have set him apart in a world of generic film composers. For the last few years he's been composing the score to HBO's Rome. Rome ended its run this year, but Jeff Beal is up for an Emmy for his innovative score to this edgy drama. In his southern California studio, Jeff Beal reveals the sound of Rome transmuted through the 21st century.

VISUAL MUSIC
Open your ears and see
Most musicians have some visual imagery in their head when they compose and now many of them are realizing those images with new computer technology and DVDs. We can't provide the pictures, but we can give you the music that artists are using to forge a sound and vision experience. You can read about it at www.echoes.org and the article, SYNAESTHESIA FOR YOUR TV, and you can hear on this special edition of Echoes.
