If he liked them, then we would move on to the next cue.ĪAJ: So, Clint Eastwood was with you when you did this?ĪS: Not when we did the cues at first. And, as I did this, I made some suggestions to the director. He had instructions to record everything I played. I watched the movie and, as I did, I started playing.

We talked and we started working on the soundtrack right away.ĪAJ: How did you go about composing the soundtrack score?ĪS: The way I always do. Clint then invited me to visit him at his office at Malpaso Productions.
