    MARCO BELTRAMI - trouble with the curve

    Smooth, ambient and soothing. Love it. Those who loved his similar scores will also fall for this, although it's less western and slightly more modern than those in comparison.

    MARCO BELTRAMI - the sessions

    Bitter-sweet, mostly melancholic, at other instances it's charming, this small chamber-musical (Strings and piano) score with a string quartet character is surely worth your time. Some very nice woodwinds in there too. Beltrami is showing constantly his impressively varied canvas (from very loud and dense action scores to this) and that he's also matured as a composer.
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.

    Definitely looking forward to this. Beltrami's a blast in action movie mode.

    Live Free Or Die Hard is one of my favourite action scores of the past several years.

    This sounds vastly different however.

    Something is not right with the recording of Die Hard 5. The trumpets are coming out of the left channel and the horns out of the right.

    confused

  12. Maybe it's meant to be like that? Beltrami could be messing with the orchestra layout for some sort of artistic reasons.

  14. biggrin

    I remember when Shore's eXistenZ came out people commented how it was "the wrong way round" or something like that. I didn't understand what they meant by this - and most commentators assumed that everyone knew what was meant by this. I assumed that the orchestra placement had somehow been reversed to get the sound Shore wanted.

    I never really sorted out what was meant by these statements - and I still try to hear what it could be.

    Shore has done this a few times - note that LOTR featured an unusual string layout - from left to right basses, celli, first violins, violas, second violins.

    'Live Free or Die Hard' is similar to this, and was coincidentally also recorded by John Kurlander.

    Horner has employed antiphonal effects in a few scores with brass on different sides of the orchestra - 'Avatar' and 'Troy' spring to mind. Williams did a similar thing with timpani in 'War of the Worlds'.

    Sounds like the situation from the first pressing of John Williams' THE COWBOYS. I own that pressing, and never bothered exchanging it. The reversed channels don't bother me much.
    I am extremely serious.

    That was a technical cock-up; I'm talking about artistic intent.
  18. Does the "antiphonal effects" actually result in anything different in the hearing of a piece of music? I can't say I have noticed much - then I don't really know my way around an orchestra in terms of where things should be.

    Or is this meddling with the layout just an "in-joke" for composers and the like - and something that they can use when discussing the music, saying "look what I did with the music to further enhance the effectiveness of the music/link in with what the film is trying to say"?

    It's usually done for specific musical effect. To continue the War of the Worlds example, cues such as The Intersection Scene pass small 'call and answer' figurations between the two timpanists in the stereo soundspace (the film recording of Goldsmith's Capricorn One is an even more extreme example of this technique, with the individual string sections being subdivided and moved around even further).

    If not done for a specific musical effect, it may just be the preference of the composer, conductor or orchestra, or even a limitation caused by the size of the performance/recording venue.
  20. I can see (and also hear) how these "call and answer" figurations work - and it's clearly for some sort of musical effect. But when whole sections are just re-arranged and placed in different aural spaces, I just wonder whether the majority of people actually notice.

    Cheers Jim for the comments.

    It's also possible that the orchestra sits where it damn well likes. I recall a Howard Shore anecdote regarding an orchestra in Paris (preparing for 'The Fly - The Opera') refusing to sit where told. biggrin

    Speaking of unusual orchestra placement, I remember the Goldsmith concert in London when he placed trumpets seemingly all over the auditorium to get the echoing trumpet effect when he did a long suite from Patton.

    That makes sense. Just like Gerhardt recording some of the Prince Valiant fanfares with horn and brass players in the balcony of the concert hall.

    But what Beltrami and Kurlander are doing doesn't make sense.

    The movie is awful. Usually I like this type of films and also the series itself. Fourth one was pretty cool. But this one ... seriously. Fuck!

    The music is better on cd because it gets a bit tiring near the end, but perhaps that was also because John and Jack were walking with guns or falling down half the time.

    This past December, composer Marco Beltrami recorded his score for the hit action sequel, A Good Day to Die Hard, directed by John Moore. The film marks the fourth film the two have collaborated on, following 2008's Max Payne. It also marks the second Die Hard franchise film that Beltrami has scored. ScoringSessions.com is thrilled to bring our readers the exclusive photos from the session!

    Enjoy!
    I consider a project a success when Thor says he won't buy it
