    The composer of Joshua has been hired to score "The Hours" director Stephen Daldry's new film:

    THE READERS

    Very exciting news IMO!

  1. I would like to take an opportunity to praise JOSHUA, Nico Muhly's score from 2007, released by Mikael earlier this year. I think if more films showed this kind of touch, it would be thought of more often as an 'art' than a 'craft'. I'm really looking forward to THE READER's score now, whether it's Iglesias that does it, or Muhly.

    It is indeed a very interesting score. Not very original, but very interesting indeed. Looking forward to his outcome in the near future.

    Why do you say it isn't original? I realize the influences but.

    I remember Michael talking about Joshua similarities. Have you heard that one Tom? Released by Mikael some months ago.

    Is that not the style of the composer?

    I'm sorry that SAE didn't send me a copy. I'd love to hear it and compare. Right now I'm writing about the cinema symphony anyway.

    I meant only in the sense of composer style. It never quotes JOSHUA.

    Following the path of Glass?

  3. Too early by far to say. The similarities are sort of equivalent to saying that there are similarities between Desplat's THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON and BIRTH or ET APRES (AFTERWARDS). It's true in some ways, but it's more an observation than the be-all-and-end-all of how you'd describe those scores.

    He'll also find his own way. In fact he already has.

  4. Amazing to think he's so young. He makes an appearance (working on the Glass score for CASSANDRA'S DREAM) in that Philip Glass documentary that was released last year.

    Quite a bit of talent for not yet reaching the age of 30! I'll have to explore this Joshua piece.

    I just watched Joshua the other day, and his score fit really well.

  5. I think it's actually him playing 1 and a half pieces, with the trailer of the film appearing instead of the rest if it's the clip I've seen.

    Gee, the guy's young though.

    I'm not sure if Jon saw the film or not but if he did the phrase "free-spirit" certainly doesn't apply to Hannah in anyway. She is quite structured, a typical German stereotype is presented. I would strongly urge all to see the film and you'll likely appreciate the music more.

    i think Muchly's scores for his age is unbelievable , as for the score in The Reader the music themes were very nice but i had the feeling that he didnt not overcome himself . He has a lot to give to the movie industry via his music and i can't wait for it
  8. There's an interesting album from Nico here:

    The views expressed in this post are entirely my own and do not reflect the opinions of maintitles.net, or for that matter, anyone else. http://www.racksandtags.com/falkirkbairn
  9. Muhly's album MOTHERTONGUE is a fascinating album. If you don't like vocal-centred works, stay away from it, but it finds novel ways to use the human voice (as well as made-up and electronically-generated timbres).

  10. New project for the composer:
