Composer Joe Hisaishi Describes His Creative Process

This month, Hisaishi is releasing a best, 2-disc compilation album Dream Songs: The Essential Joe Hisaishi with tracks from Studio Ghibli and Beat Takeshi films.

To mark the release of his best-of album, I did a Q&A with Hisaishi via email about his career and his creative process.

Decade after decade, he’s consistently written some of the most memorable movie music of our time.
