    Best. Christmas. Ever.

  2. NP: 27 Aprile 2014: Racconto di Un Evento - Franco Eco

    A bit of a varied one this. Mostly traditional orchestra but there's also tracks with contemporary electric guitar, drums and pop beats, Gregorian chant as well as African rhythms.

    It's music written for an Italian documentary whose subject is the celebration of the canonization of Pope John XXIII and Pope John Paul II.

    The score is available on Spotify.

  4. NP: Interstellar (2014) - Zimmers Hansi

    To me it seems like Zimmer wanted to compile this score of vintage sounds. The church organ is a given, also the piano. The flute sound at the very beginning sounds like a Fairlight CMI sound, the other synth sounds sound "analog", Moog like. The natural instruments sound like natural instruments, amazingly enough.
    Bach's music is vibrant and inspired.
  5. Actually, a lot of the wind-like sounds are real winds, just played weirdly.

    NP: Civilization: Beyond Earth - Griffin Cohen, Michael Curran, Grant Kirkhope and Geoff Knorr

    The best video game score of 2014, IMO. It's also one of THE best scores of the year. Hats off to the composing team of Griffin Cohen, Michael Curran, Grant Kirkhope and Geoff Knorr. An almost 3 hour album that flies by in no time. Solo cello, electronics, choir and a massive symphony orchestra combine to create one of the most emotional musical experiences of the year! Brilliant stuff!

    I'm listening to this again and I can't for the life of me cut out any cue for a "better listening experience." The only cues I did skip were the tracks labelled ambient. The rest is one highlight after another. This is rare case were the "complete" score plays perfectly... At least for me it does. This is my favourite score of the year.

  7. Yes, the "ambient" were edited out of my playlist quite early on. The rest is really strong and if only these tracks were released then the album as a whole would have been near the top for the year.

    It will probably be in my top 5 game scores too, despite the problems with the presentation.

    But it's a FAR cry from my favourite score in the category this year -- Jesper Kyd's glorious 80s synthpop score for BORDERLANDS: THE PRE-SEQUEL. And speaking of far cry, Martinez' FAR CRY 4 is ahead of it too -- although that also struggles from poor presentation.
    I am extremely serious.

    NP: Interview With A Vampire - Elliot Goldenthal

    There is only one word to describe this score... BRILLIANT! Goldenthal's musical voice is very much missed in film these days!

    A rather good film too. I watched it again recently. Goldenthal's score works superbly in and out of the film.

    A spectacular last-minute replacement score. Apparently George Fenton's score was 'too dark'.

    It's a little disappointing Thor apparently passed out after merely three posts.

  20. NP: Koyaanisqatsi (1982) - Philip Glass

    One of my academic teachers used to rave about this film which seemingly was some kind of revelation for him. He took great pride in the fact that he was the only one in his family who recognised the film's artistic significance. I never knew his wife but I always pittied her because I imagined how he would lecture her time and again. smile

    I think we all knew (and if we're unlucky know) people like that at some point in our lives.

    It's quite astounding to think that a Fenton score was too dark and they got Goldenthal, that beacon of light and fluffiness of all people, to replace it.

    biggrin

    I imagine Fenton reacted to the darkness by making the music equally dark, whereas Goldenthal had a bit of fun with it with his more 'macabre' sensibilities. Great score!

    Annoyingly, he's right about the film. That's quite the thing to see on the bigscreen. These days it would probably seem sub - David Attenborough on the small screen.

    shame

    The story wasn't particularly interesting, by the way. I don't know what I was thinking last night. It's basically just an incident from Krakow a couple of years ago, where I was sitting alone with Goldenthal in a huge, darkened staircase and doing my interview when a big group of young boys walked by. It was the boy's choir that was going to perform the segments from INTERVIEW in the concert later that evening.

    A great personal memory, but hardly an interesting story.

    Well, Sober Thor will not vouch for the opinions forwarded by Drunk Thor. Except maybe occasionally referring to himself in the third person.
