BBC World Service - The Arts Hour, Ridley Scott, Drew Barrymore, Orhan Pamuk

Ridley Scott discusses storyboarding, space and shooting Matt Damon with Go Pro cameras in The Martian.   We introduce the Kenyan Kenny Rogers, and discover an unlikely country music scene.   Danish writer Dorthe Nors considers the current state of writing in Denmark: crime fiction is big.   British composer Max Richter says he really did want people to sleep through his eight hour overnight music premiere …. whilst his live audience tell us what it was like to stay awake and experience it all.     After that Professor Eric Clarke tells us about new research linking music with the creation of empathy in listeners.    Back at the multiplex, Hollywood stars Drew Barrymore and Toni Collette talk about their new cancer movie Miss You Already.    And Turkish writer and Nobel Laureate Orhan Pamuk tells us about his novel A Strangeness in My Mind spanning four decades of Istanbul's history.
