Our latest guest on Soundtracking is someone we've been wanting to get on for a long time - not least because of his collaborations with friend of the show, Clint Mansell. Darren Aronofsky is a truly original and radical filmmaker, whose latest movie The Whale has seen Brendan Fraser receive widespread acclaim as a reclusive English teacher who is eating himself to death. The Whale is beautifully scored by Rob Simonsen - who has served up a haunting take on the nautical themes that underpin the movie.
