  1. Meanwhile, in the Stunningly Stupid Department...

    From Jon Burlingame:

    http://variety.com/2017/tv/news/simpson … 202543183/

    "Clausen told Variety that he received a call from “Simpsons” producer Richard Sakai that the company was seeking “a different kind of music” and that he would no longer be scoring the longtime Fox hit.

    A Fox spokeswoman declined to comment."



    Clausen took over sometime in season two of the series, starting with the first Halloween episode. Previously a handful of composers have contributed.

  2. Who decides after seventeen billion seasons that they suddenly need "a different kind of music"? rolleyes
  3. Probably somebody influenced by the lady who cancelled "Firefly" (I saw her on stage, practically bragging about it, to booing fans -- she admitted it to them!).

    They're lucky the IMDb forums still don't' exist anymore.


    I went to a TS forum and one person put it pretty well when he said 29 years in is a long time to suddenly decide to shake things up.

    Budgetary concerns, I'm guessing. They'll be going for ONE guy with a bunch of samples instead of an orchestra.
    I am extremely serious.

    Looks like the beginning of the end.
    Likely -and somehow still slightly amazingly- the Simpsons have finally outstayed their welcome.
    Wished they would gracefully put an end to what has become an institution, rather than try and "fix" it.

    yeah

    It's no longer what it was. The laughs are far more infrequent and have been for a while now. Put it to bed.

    Oh yes, if there was one thing that didn't need fixing it was the music. Bunch of ass wipes!

    Futurama was brought back with samples so the precedent is certainly there.
  4. I wonder why they don't just use Clausen's music as library stock to track in. He must have assembled lots of recordings over the time. Can re-use fees be more expensive then sampled new music?

    Bach's music is vibrant and inspired.

    The end of an era for tv music and film scores, we have long realized it.
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.

    Because the AFM would raise all manner of hell - as it is no longer the 1960s,you can't get away with reusing music constantly.
