Description:

Ahead of Edith's next episode, Nicholas Britell explains the thinking behind using a method associated with hip-hop on his classical score for the Oscar-winning Moonlight.

Chopped & Screwed developed in the Houston hip hop scene in the early 1990s. It involves slowing the tempo down of the original piece, skipping beats, record scratching and affecting portions of the music to make a "chopped-up" version.

This preview clip is typical of the insights Nicholas provides on the process behind scoring a movie - all articulated in terms that even the musically illiterate can understand.

The full episode is out on Friday 23rd June.
