Joined by the other members of his jazz trio – bassist David Bowden and drummer Stephen Henderson – Fergus travelled to New York, where he found himself attending a NBA game featuring the director’s beloved New York Knicks.<\/p>\n
He also managed to persuade Lee, who won an Oscar for best adapted screenplay in 2019, to pose with a scarf of Glasgow football team Queen’s Park.<\/p>\n
Once in the studio, it was a case of playing through Stony Gate, with Lee showing the musicians the scene the track was accompanying, in order to whip up the right emotion.<\/p>\n
Fergus, originally from Dollar but now living in Glasgow, said: “It was more of a playing gig rather than a composing gig in a way. Spike really wanted to incorporate Stony Gate into the score so Howard orchestrated that, and then we just came and played the music.<\/p>\n
“I think, generally, especially in orchestra sessions, they usually just barrel through really quickly. But Spike shows everyone the scene as it is, with demo music.<\/p>\n
“He really seemed to care a lot about people really understanding what the point of the music was and matching it to the emotion of the scene.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Joined by the other members of his jazz trio – bassist David Bowden and drummer Stephen Henderson –…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":70444,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6491,96,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-70443","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70443","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=70443"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70443\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/70444"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=70443"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=70443"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=70443"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
