    NP: Horton Hears A Who! - John Powell

    -Erik-


    It's interesting listen this score after we have a masterclass with powell in ubeda about the ideas he was considerating for this score.


    Indeed. At that time I didn´t fully understand what he was talking about, what did all those weird samples he played in his laptop mean and why did he had a smile in his face for all the masterclass. Once I listened "Horton Hears a Who" for the first time I fully understood. Simply brilliant.


    I still don't understand. His talk was absolutely poo. It felt as if he didn't actually want to talk and just wanted to listen to his iPod instead. He didn't explain what any of that weird music meant or why it was specific to him. rolleyes

    And what was with all the casual questions afterwards? Places like Ubeda are where the hardcore fans are meant to pick the brains of the composer! sad

    I think the translator had trouble working out what I said exactly. biggrin

    Something along the lines of:

    "Last week you recorded Stop Loss and you conducted yourself. From what I understand, you don't normally conduct, so why did you, and are you planning to do it more in future?".

    His reply was something lame like "Money, and no."

    I stared blankly and after a few seconds he elaborated.

    There was nowhere else to go BUT put the third score on! punk cool

    I'm already thinking of what to play next? Something similar or totally different?? The Trilogy is a hard act to follow.

    Oh yes I remember it! Actually I was about to ask this question when you asked it. I also found interesting to know if he planned to do more conducting. His answer was pretty clear though: NO.

  14. Hans Zimmer - Hannibal

    Dear Hans,

    I have followed your scores with enthusiasm for quite a while. This one I bought just like that when I saw it in the shop and I think it's my second favorite of yours after The Thin Red Line (and was my most favorite score until I rediscovered TTRL after second or third watching of that film).

    The monologues and generally postmodernist character of the score is what I think was a stroke of genius. The darkness of the cello/bass writing, Klaus Badelt's Strauss parody. The Avarice theme is also one of your best and so influential for your later darker scores.

    I just love Hannibal.

    Tata,

    I think it is always a bad idea to include dialogues in the scores. I mean I am enjoying a theme or I´m delighted by a specific cue and then suddenly somebody starts talking slant

    Those who complain about the lack of good scores that came out last year need to remove their earplugs. I, for one, am very pleased with 2008's score output.


    And I was hoping to have that by now, hopefully it'll turn up Monday, Tuesday....


    Have you heard Benjamin Button yet? Another impressive score from Desplat (yet again).


    Indeed.

    Kickass score to end a mediocre day... so it became an alright day after all. I hope Giacchino keeps doing VG scores, because he never ceases to amaze me there...

    I'm with you there. Perhaps after Lost is over thought he should step down from TV scoring. I can't see him topping it - but I can see him topping all of his movie and game scores.

    HANNIBAL is one of the best scores he has ever produced. I haven't decide if Da Vinci Code is the best of the two yet.

    NP - To Kill A Mockingbird (Elmer Bernstein)

    This is the original soundtrack with Bernstein conducting. It is perhaps first and foremost famous because of Bernstein's ingenious choice to speak through the eyes of the children in the film, but it is also fantastic music in it's own right!

Thanks to whoever did that one (I can't remember, sorry shame ) and to everyone here that is continually opening my eyes to great music!

    GEORGE FENTON - planet earth

    Such orchestral power and lyrical nature of melodic arrangements is not frequently met in the medium. A very coherent mammoth of a work, clearly some of the most powerful material the man has ever written.
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.
  30. NP: Ponyo / Cliff / Sea (Hisaishi - not sure how the title goes)

    Once again, Joe Hisashi proves he's the Japanese John Williams! (Hi Joep!) wink

    J/k. Look, it's a really nice score. He could do this sort of thing with his eyes closed, and yet it doesn't sound terribly like Spirited Away, which you'd expect. The hommage to 'Flight of the Valkyries' is a lot of fun, and there's strong melodies running through the well-orchestrated whole. It sits nicely alongside his other strong recent work.
