(Episode 201) "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy" Composer: Alex Wurman. Sep 02, 2020

Show notes

EMMY® Award-winning composer Alex Wurman is highly versatile with a broad musical palette. He is able to work with directors in many different genres. He has particularly enjoyed the breadth of work with notable writer/directors, such as Steven Conrad (Perpetual Grace LTD, The Promotion, Patriot), John August (The Nines), Jill Sprecher (Thirteen Conversations About One Thing), Adam McKay (Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby) and Ron Shelton (Play It To The Bone, Hollywood Homicide).

Whether writing critically-acclaimed music for an Oscar®-winning film, supporting comedy with musical punctuation for box office giants, or capturing the essence of brainy ideas for indie films, Wurman traverses the film-score landscape with ease. This is exemplified by his eerie piano melodies of Confessions of A Dangerous Mind, groovy ’70’s themes for Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, contemporary interpretations of French impressionism for Thirteen Conversations About One Thing, and soulful melodies combined with ethereal orchestrations for March of the Penguins.

Meet Alex Wurman.
