    Since there was no thread for this composer (aside from a couple about his MSM releases)...

    There's an interview up at http://lokutusost.ufouni.cz/filmmusic/f … erview.htm

    On the topic of his unused score for Tsotsi...

    I wrote a very different score than the original. Mine was based around one main theme played by African flutes, Female African voice and orchestral strings. In fact most of my score was written around strings. I did write for African percussion/kalimba and unusual woodwind like the Bass Ocarina but these instruments sat around my thematic score led by voice and strings.
    My score, which is not on the film today for various political reasons, sat well in the film but I am not sure how it plays without it. (I haven't listened to it since I did it and nor have I sent it out) I have retained ownership of it and so possibly it could be released but I am sure if would have to be under a different title. I would have to look into this.


    Wow! I hope it gets a release. Go Mikael, go! wink

    I hope someone will also dig up his earlier scores like Wake of Death and release them.

    I have one score of his, Madre Teresa which is very good and very very John Barry influenced which is not surprising when you read the interview.

    Ooh yes! That's what got me started on Farley. I went bonkers on it and had to recommend it to friends for the Barry-ish style.

    Timmer,
    You must must must check out Modigliani. It's a beauty!

    The Flock is a big disappointment for me, it's totally uninteresting, without a single memorable cue or motif to distinguish it at all. Probably one of the only weak MMM scores I've heard so far and I must have nearly 20 now, they've mostly been of the highest quality.

    On the other hand, The Christmas Miracle of Jonathan Toomey is just a beautiful melodic score. Very, very good. I can't speak highly enough of that one.

    Disagree. They originally they had two versions of it for the film, but naturally the censured edition (with the title overshadowing 'something') was used the most.

    I didn't like it much as a standalone listen, though it works wonderfully in the film proper.

    A friend of mine just sent me a suite from Madre Teresa and I was really impressed. Didn't know about this composer at all. I just got on itunes the Modigliani score and from the little I heard so far, I am looking forward to explore more of his music. Any more suggestions?
  13. Martin, Madre Teresa does have some really beautiful music. Definitely my favourite CD from him.

    John Barry was on of the main reasons why Guy Farley became a film composer - he really adores Barry's work. I think you can hear that in man of Guy's melodic scores - the strong belief in the power of melody is there just as is in Barry's scores. I have also felt that Guy brings back very fond memories of Georges Delerue.

    MovieScore Media has release three scores by Guy: Christmas Miracle of Jonathan Toomey (http://www.moviescoremedia.com/toomey.html), The Flock (http://www.moviescoremedia.com/flock.html) and Land of the Blind (online only: http://www.moviescoremedia.com/landoftheblind.html). (Sorry not all sound clips on these pages work properly, we are in the process of updating all pages on our site so that broken links work again...)

    Hope you like what you hear - Guy is destined for BIG things! And by the way, MovieScore Media has another awesome score by Guy coming out in September/October! Stay tuned for announcements!

    Cheers,

    Thank you Mikael, I LIKE what I'm hearing and I agree that certain tracks evoke a feel of Delerue. Time that I expanded from my only purchase of Madre Teresa.

    No wonder I like Farley's music. Barry and Delerue in the same sentence is a good indicator for me. I'll look into it. Thanks for the suggestions Mikael.
  18. I transcribed and soon-to-be published interview with Farley, where he goes into details how he met Barry and his love for him.

    Any Guy Farley score release is always welcome! I hope we'll see Wake of Death someday.
  22. Just to expand a small bit: this interview is not by me -- jsut transcribing it.

    I'm transcirbing another right now where the composer's British accent is so thick, it's driving me fucking bonkers. spin

    If Justin's saying it sounds "thick" maybe that it narrows it down a bit - though I'm not going to make any suggestions!

  27. Can't provide a sample, but I will say he sounds very similar to a popular British TV series character.
