If you like Middle eastern music, check out Cyril Morin's work and from Amar, check out Bab'Aziz and Va, vis et deviens as well as La Terre vue du ciel. You'll love them.Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders. -

What is it with light-hearted lil'crappy comedy films these days? Almost the majority of upcoming film scores' assignments i read about these days are all about this kind of films; who's scoring the serious ones

Your enthusiasm for this score can´t exactly be described as epic, can it? -

- CommentTimeJul 31st 2009
Let's just say there are SO MUCH BETTER examples of film music out there to generate an "epic enthusiasm" over, than something with a fancy name-tag on it than nobody would listen if it was absent. And this, from one of the biggest fans of his PASSION work.Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders. -

I haven´t heard Soraya yet, but I´d like to. Even if it is a bit more quiet and ambient, I don´t care, since I´ve got a lot of uses for good background music. -

Why not listen to actually GOOD middle-eastern film music instead? Why wouldn't i say that you're going for it 'cause of the name-tag alone, for example? (Not that's anything wrong with it, i am just saying
)Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders. -

I see.
Examples, then. What should I listen to? But I warn you. I like Gladiator a lot. Even the reused stuff in Transformers: RotF. You can give me wailing women every time. Oh, I forgot to mention Lair (its wailing women, I mean). And yes, I know that´s not what midlle-eastern music is about. So give me the real thing then and we´ll see.
Does it help that I LOVE Gabriel´s Last Temptation? -

There's nothing wrong with liking GLADIATOR, LAST TEMPTATION and LAIR. I like those too, but that doesn't mean i have to listen to like anything those composers write next just of the name tag, that's my point.
Arman Amar's scores are a real treat, esp. HOME and Bab'Aziz, Cyril Morin has written some nice ethnic music too, Danna's ARARAT is a real treat, Bruno Coulais' Belphégor - Le fantôme du Louvre is a dark gem in the genre although not as easy a listen as the rest listed here and of course the top of the list that are Yvan Cassar's Massai - Les guerriers de la pluie and L'odyssée de l'espècee and the list is even bigger; but these scores do not sound like hollywood composers playing around with duduk and female vocals with no purpose or aim, i shall warn you. This is music coming from ethnomusicologists, from people who know their stuff. (That characterization doesn't apply to Gladiator, Lair and the scores you mentioned btw, which are very, very good, but only in SORAYA in this case and numerous other cases if we were to expand).Love Maintitles.

I hope Debney outdoes himself this time I hope we'll be getting something that's far away his generic scoring during the last 2 years or so, 'cause that is equally boring to Djawadi's score, imo. Only not as crap Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders. -

Debney would certainly not be my first choice for this, but I find it to be unusually satisfying news that he's doing it. At last somebody has fought back against the seemingly-unstoppable force of mediocrity led by you-know-who. I feel like burning my bra or something. -

Don´t get me wrong, I like Debney´s electric guitar crap. I was just referring to the fact that Debney used those, too. And, BTW, I liked the original Iron Man score, too. -

Well, I hated the Iron Man score. It seemed to be everything that a film score should not be, and nothing that one should be.
It's much nicer to like things than to dislike things, but clearly impossible to just choose to like something even though you think it's hideous.
