Tell you what, the music for MR FOX is worth listening to for people who think Desplat always sounds the same. Just listening to 'Whack-Bat Majorette' now.
There's a bit of Morricone whistling and boing in 'Bean's Secret Cider Cellar'. What a cool little tribute to spaghetti western music.

Yeah, that "Bean's Secret Cider Cellar" is a great homage to Morricone. Wonderfully orchestrated. My favorite cue of the streaming score so far. I think that Desplat has proved before that he's not a "one-trick-poney" kind of composer and this score confirms it. -

Just had an interview wit Desplat (what a man of class!). So relaxed but still with flair. Pity the interview had to be so short (an with an other interviewer, so we had to mingle our questions). I as about to sk about the unreleased scores, but then he had to go. I see him tomorrow again, and will try it then. In any case, this guy is great.
He told he himself whistled on Mr Fox.Kazoo -

Right. I forgot to say.
We asked about Tree of Life during the interview. Apparently it is already recorded (forgot where) and it is now edited. He couldn't tell anything more about it, but when we asked how it was working with Malick, he almost jumped. He said the experience was fantastic and Malick is a genious.Kazoo -

Zimmer keeps saying the same. Maybe he just needs a specific type of composer? Who is able to actually dig his intellectual musings? Horner doesn't grasp the concept of metaphor seemingly...http://www.filmmusic.pl - Polish Film Music Review Website -

Desplat on Tarantino-
During a master class last weekend at the Thessaloniki International Film Festival, Desplat was asked about Tarantino’s disinclination to score his films with virtually anything but preexisting work, from the pop standards of Reservoir Dogs to the spaghetti-Western benchmarks of Ennio Morricone underlying Basterds. (I presume Desplat probably would allow for, if not necessarily approve of, RZA’s original compositions for Kill Bill?) In a moment of surprising artist-to-artist bitchslappery, the composer confessed disapproval for the technique, citing both a lack of inspiration and more than a bit of selfishness on Tarantino’s part:
Desplat said
The director’s free to do what he wants to do. So if Tarantino likes this or that, that’s fine. I know Tarantino hates movie soundtracks, except he’s using music from movie soundtracks all the time — from Morricone to Bernard Herrmann to you name it. It’s just so provocative, I guess, a thing. Maybe he doesn’t have the inspiration — let’s call it that — to call a composer and share the authorship with a composer. That’s something that many — that some directors have difficulty to do. They think they are the only author, and they don’t want to share that with a composer. They think the composer is going to steal something from them, which is false.

That's a fair comment from Desplat. I've got nothing against the approach myself.A butterfly thinks therefore I am
