    We all are.
    I am extremely serious.

    Well i beg to differ; read, if you want, all the excellent points made in facebook by Robert Folk, a member of the Academy.

  4. Good thoughts Mark.

    Music certainly takes the foreground in GRAVITY. Few recent films have asked as much of their music as GRAVITY.

    I think it's no coincidence that both Gravity and The Artist both have sound mixes that place their score in a very prominent position, and that both scores went on to win Oscars. When practically the only thing you're hearing in the film is the score, it's easy for Academy members to take note of it...

    Say what you will about Gravity but it certainly was not a "generic drone"!

    Much though I like his music, I don't think he comes across particularly well in that discussion. Most of his dislike seems to come form the fact that it doesn't sound like John Williams. Generic drone or not (obviously it isn't) I don't suppose many people would seriously suggest that what Gravity needed was a Star Wars-like score. The only other person I've seen suggest it was Justin Boggan.

    A Justin Boggan Gravity score... now THAT would be something else.

    I would pay to see that. (And then I would get a refund.)
  9. I never suggested John Williams score it. You must have me confused with somebody else who rightfully realized that film needed another composer.

  10. Nope. Since Vangelis got associated with COSMOS and Eno did FOR ALL MANKIND nothing conveys the nature of space (real space, not some fairy tale place) better then electronica. Therefore this score was perfect.

    Bach's music is vibrant and inspired.

    Nonsense! There are many, many orchestral examples.

    Well, I associate space exploration, space travel and astrophysics with ambient electronic music. Again: I am not talking science fiction here. And I don't regard Gravity as scifi. In my youth there was some domestic series about astrophysics that opend with Klaus Schulze's "Stardancer II" and another science show used Kraftwerk's "Spacelab". Obviously I am not the only one drawing that connection: The planetarium in Bochum (western Germany) used to run a show featuring music by Tangerine Dream. Today that show features music from Jarre's "Aero" album.
    OK, they sometimes use "The Planets" or "Zarathustra" or "Lux eterna", the latter two only because of their connection to 2001. But that's about it.
    Bach's music is vibrant and inspired.
  14. Both approaches can and have certainly worked; I don't think it's wise to say one or the other is better suited.
  15. That's why I said, that I associate such music with science. And that's why Price's score worked so well for me.
    Bach's music is vibrant and inspired.

    It's how it's perceived by the individual.

    Orchestral music doesn't need to be from sci-fi to conjure outer space, Bernard Herrmann's VERTIGO has been used numerous times to convey cosmic realms in more than one documentary I've seen as has Vaughan Williams Symphony Antartica.

  17. VERTIGO, indeed? Because zero gravity induces vertigo? I'll have to listen to that score again.
