How Composer Daniel Pemberton Created 3 Scores for Steve Jobs

We spoke to Steve Jobs composer Daniel Pemberton, whose previous work includes Guy Ritchie’s The Man From U.N.C.L.E, about the joys of working with a director, Danny Boyle, who’s prepared to take risks, and the challenge of complementing screenwriter Aaron Sorkin’s fast-paced dialogue.

What were your original impressions of the script when you were approached about the scoring?

The first thing that happened was I had a meeting with Danny- which got moved around a lot because of the hoo-ha that was going on behind the scenes.
