In the Studio with Robert Charles Mann
by Paige Miller – December 2025
Robert Charles Mann is ducking under a 3 meter long, 400 year old oak beam in his Loire Valley studio. Suspended from the vaulted ceiling by a system of pulleys inherited from his father, it is a massive musical instrument he’s just pulled down to demonstrate to me how it is played. Mann’s compositions on the Longwire were notably woven throughout the score of the film Ad Astra, and the instrument features in the opening credits and the climactic confrontation on Neptune. When he’s not composing music, the multi-hyphenate creative can often be found scaled up a ladder or in a tree, installing one of his pinhole cameras to capture the sun’s path.
In the artist’s studio, surrounded by the hum of the Longwire and the enduring imprint of his legendary collaborations, Mann and I discuss an artistic practice defined by constant experimentation and the profound creative power of letting go.
