It’s nice to see a studio in this series that isn’t as polished and made to be a show piece, but rather a mad scientist’s fun space to work in the most natural way for him. It’s a good reminder that the resources aren’t really the issue, but rather the way you use them and the love and devotion you put into each piece of music... that and good helping of talent. ;)

To anyone confused or bored, this is a true artist. If you cannot see that with all clarity, than you are faking it.

Love the CS80 comment, arms folded, worried look: “Completely unsampliable......’

Two mad scientists tossing quotes at each other. I'll have 7 more please

omg can we talk about how nobody knew that for the first 30mins there's a cs80 in the foreground of the shot in a case and then Dan casually is like "got a cs80 here." so nice to see a proper musician who loves music itself and is excited about it. a joy to watch

this is the best one of the series.

One of the best videos I’ve seen with such a unique musician. It looked so minimalistic at first. I thought he was gonna break out a Korg Volca but then bam! bam! bam! and boom! A CS80 … I’m almost in tears how amazingly happy this video was to experience. Thank you.

Amazing again. The guy's clearly completely nuts, and a genius at the same time. And then that cs80, what a monster. :)

Made me bit emotional when he let the interviewer play the Cs-80 and Daniel tagged along with a keyboard next to it!!

Quite possibly the most inspiring and entertaining CC yet.

11:10 - bloody hell what a brilliant idea - nicked

I love this guy. And, also, LOL @29:58

Aw, I missed this one but it's totally brilliant. Can see Christian just emersed in this guys mad world and loves it. Blowing dust off and trying to find batteries in piles of stuff and he's doing his best not to crack up. Yet the guy is clearly a genius and some of his scores have been favourites of mine for years. I'd imagine if I won the lottery and lived on my own, this would be my existence! Excellent.

You can see this guy still really loves sound and music by how he jumps at the chance to jam at the end there. 20 years and he’s still got the passion. Fantastic!

I've literally watched all of the creative cribs, and this is by leagues the best!

That cs80 is infinite soundtrack material 🤤

Huh....flabbergasted! Even before the mighty CS-80. Daniel would've made a fantastic Bladerunner 2 score.

The adhd vibes are strong in that studio!

That was the best one so far in my opinion, that cs80 bit gave me tingles

Loved this one. Have met Daniel a few times, really talented guy and love the lo-fi spontaneity of his studio aesthetics. Inspiring and comforting.

love the chaos. a very nice contrast to some of the overly clean and pristine studios seen on this series before

The best one by far...i think. Plus that C80 nearly made me cry, how beautiful.

This chap is splendid. He is responsible for what is in one way one of the most impressive sound tracks for a computer game ever, for "The Movies" in 2005: nearly a hundred circa three minute film style pieces of music for a huge range of different styles of films, including a myriad masterful pastiches of famous film scores. (Sadly, the music was probably rather better than the rest of the game, and is not very well remembered these days. Even more sadly, the expansion pack, "The Movies Stunts and Effects" did not in the end ship with the extra music from this composer that it was composed for it, which, apart from one track in a promotional video released before the expansion pack was released, which was then replaced with a video with some of the original music before release, so some of it has never been heard).

This is the best episode of this series..! Love the playing on the cs80 and piano

This is one of my favorite episodes, super inspiring, what a lovely man. I almost requested a Jonathan Whitehead interview but the lovely bastard went and died in May this year. Damnit.

and now hes made music for movies as big as Spider-man into the spiderverse , that won best animated movie award. love your stuff, particularly the Prowler Theme, and 'Take You Down' from Man from Uncle

Yes! Love his stuff!!

Love this!

I love all the CC's Spitfire does but man I really liked this one. The sort of comforting and honest environment of Daniels studio resonated with me.

My fave Crib so far!

I genuinely love both these guys!

It´s obvious Daniel see music in everything. A true creative artist.

that was really fun to watch,the passion that Daniel Pemberton has is amazing,thank you for sharing :)

awesome episode - love the mess! Feels like we've been let inside his chaotic and creative mind.

You are amazing Daniel...I loved.

Best one yet! I absolutely LOVED this. Really made me smile and want to get up and jam with you on CS80 and piano at the end. Wonderful stuff - thanks : )

Completely awesome video. What a simple, genuine and insightful look at how such a diverse composer works. Keep em coming!

Absolutely fantastic, thanks. Really love Dan’s approach.

One of the best in this series, so far!

Absolutely hilarious episode! I love it!!! What a genius, huge inspiration - what a credit to creativity!

the well samples are phenomenal wow. love this guy!

Great episode, Organised Chaos!

Just watched this one. FUN!!! Definitely gives another perspective on workflow and studio setup. Really love this one!!

Best episode yet.

Just watched for the second time from a recent link. Truly inspiring, Daniel has such an energised approach to making music

That was an awesome episode. Cool guy.

Superb. My favourite so far. Really interesting as he has some great vintage inatruments

Brilliant. Very inspiring and entertaining at the same time. Love Daniels chaotic approach to making music.

Now that was fun! Well done. Absolutely no pretense. Would love to have a beer with these guys.

This and the Pendle Poucher videos have been by far my favourites.

Such a great interview. The projected energy of both men is fantastic. To see two great master composers enjoying the CS-80 like kids amazed me.

Absolutely glorious joyful video, I'm smiling from ear to ear at the end piece with the CS80 and piano, wonderful!

Spotted the CS-80 in its case in the first few minutes. Had to wait to see it in action but was not disappointed!

Wow!!! Brilliant episode and thanks to Daniel...A true inspiration on all things from the business to sound design.....

What a boss. Super musician. The CS-80 is always so magical sounding.

Another brilliant vid.

Brilliant episode! Going on my all time favourites playlist. How could anyone give this a thumbs down? Double thumbs up from me!

Thank you for Sharing Spitfire Audio!! an amazing interview, it just fills my cup with so much inspiration and positive creative energy!! Daniel Pemberton a true Genius of his craft!

What the adventure, aftewards, you could be, are, so under emotional state of mind! - Five years about the first moment, Christian says! - of which you have enabled us to experience and share such strong moments, moments when the situation was serious, when the situation was dangerous. What a comfort to be in this setting, in this team, otherwise more, more than supportive! Bravo, well done! I am so happy for you, for both of you especialy! Cheers Homay, cheers Oliver! cheers Spitfire family. éliane

Pemberton is so inventive with his gear

COOLEST GUY EVER!

Late to the party, but I just caught DP on Score the Podcast, and stoked to find Christian has been to his creative space. I shall never again be ashamed of my messy studio. Just compose, don't worry about the aesthetics. It works for this guy. Thanks to CH for a brilliant video.

I was searching Google for info on Daniel after watching a couple of episodes of "The Game". What an entertaining human! Thanks for doing this interview 6 years ago.

I just recalled that I discovered Christian Henson through these interviews. I binge watched the entire Creative Cribs sequence when I was looking for ideas on how to reorganize my own modest studio. These videos focusing on the particular needs of a particular composer were of far greater value than the tours of massive commercial studios with racks and racks and racks of outboard gear that need a battalion of techs to maintain and assistants to run. As with all of the content Christian posts, highly inspirational!

Love that moment CH jumps in to play on the CS-80

Great video. He just loves what he does

I totally relate to what he says about creative freedom... ☮🔥

espectacular, me encanta la música de este señor desde que vi la película King Arthur

hadn't heard of him before but totally love this guy! (plus I think Christian wants a CS80 now :D)

Excellent episode! Clever man, clever composer and very funny, this Daniel Pemberton! Is there an episode on Jonathan Whitehead? Thanks guys!

Very, very inspiring

Awesome!!

Nice working space! I want that CS80!

Extremely interesting man! Absolute legend.

Thanks - that was super cool.

When Daniel Starts playing the CS80 the look on Christians Face. 'Completely unsampliable' probably thinking at the same time 'completely Divorceware'

So inspirational. I've now gotta get my hands on a CS-80 (well, it'll be a plugin)

That CS80 is the absolute nuts.

Amazing

Inspiring, hilarious and familiar

I'm from Holland and i've never seen that instrument ever, hahaha

true genius

omg the CS at the end jesus

Dude's funny as hell.

Hilarious CS80 bid battle with Joe from Hot Chip

The Best Cribs yet!! love the Wanker Mann!!

Daniel Pemberton. Is. The. Real. Deal.

great

Just watched again for about the fiftieth time which I do whenever I need cheering up. Christian lying under the piano quite normal for this vid. Try doing that at Wigmore Hall.

He's like a jolly mad scientist, is he

I recognized that Peep Show mouth pop instantly!

That CS80.....wow........

at 8:59 which radio his music been viewed ?

What’s the hand held thing he needs batteries for to play the resonator dobro

Dan: "When will I finally be able to use all of these instruments in a piece of work"? Receives commission to score Dark Crystal... Dan: 😏

Why am I watching this this late...

Shouts to the EMU crew.

it'd be awesome if mick gordon could be featured on one of these!!

What keyboard does he use curious

in what area in london is that?
