PAUL CANTELON

Anyone who replaces Edward Shearmur =

I'm still interested to hear what it turned out like though.

I quite Cantelon's music for EVERYTHING IS ILLUMINATED:
http://www.musicweb-international.com/f … illum.html

He also did the score of THE DIVING BELL AND THE BUTTERFLY. Worked very well in the film.

Dominated by strings, he uses heavy drums for extra grandeur for the English court, harp for the sisters and occasionally flutes for extra color. As the story unfolds and it becomes more intense, he uses guitar and piano for emotional effect. The best parts are when he gets to use a solo violin and cello; it's these moments where he really gets a dramatic tension across. Other then that, the music remains settled in the background, except for the traditional 18th century party/source music.

Personally, I'd say he could've done with a more classic approach, instead of this common sound. Still, it works within the film, and it's probably a nice listen on album. Just don't expect to mention this when the Best of 2008 lists are there again.

Do you have soundclips from THE boleyn girl as well?



Thanks mate, sounds very interesting!

It is!

Paul Cantelon is writing the music for Oliver Stone's George W. Bush bio-pic, "W." According to the film's teaser trailer.

I doubt it, judging from THE OTHER BOLEYN GIRL.

It's a little belated, but here's my review of what I consider to be the best score of 2008 so far: THE OTHER BOLEYN GIRL, by Paul Cantelon.

Clark reviewed "W." for Movie Music UK (mainly about the movie, but also a little bit about Cantelon's score)

Also, here's a link where you can stream Cantelon's entire score: http://app.topspin.net/artist/215260/ho … _id=215260

Listen to the first cue, "Bayou", and tell me that's not utterly beautiful.

I think James ( in a shorter version ) said something similar!? Either way, this has my attention.

CONVICTION

Usual suspects at the instrumentation area, piano and orchestra, with emphasis on woodwinds. Lovely main theme, very melodic albeit simple. The rest are forgettable mostly; reminded me of a standard Rachel Portman score; good parts but nowhere as strong as his 'THE OTHER BOLEYN GIRL" score. Hope he shows different aspects in future, i'll be following for sure.

THE MUSIC NEVER STOPPED

Release Date:
Tue, 03/29/2011

Soundtrack To Essential Pictures’ Film Features Six Grateful Dead Songs
Including Three Previously Unreleased Live Recordings

Digital Release Available Now, CD Arrives March 29

LOS ANGELES – Essential Pictures presents The Music Never Stopped, a drama directed by Jim Kohlberg that is based on Dr. Oliver Sacks’ case study, “The Last Hippie.” Set in the mid-1980s, the film chronicles the struggles of a father (J. K. Simmons) trying to re-connect with his estranged son (Lou Taylor Pucci), who is recovering from brain surgery that has left him unable to create any long-term memories, effectively stranding him in 1968.

Through the music that embodied the generation gap of the 1960s – particularly Grateful Dead – the father forms a most unusual but emotionally vibrant bond with the son he thought he had lost. Indeed, music plays a vital role in the film, which features songs by Bob Dylan, Crosby, Stills and Nash, Steppenwolf, Donovan and the Dead, who wrote the song for which the film is named.

Prior to the film’s theatrical release, THE MUSIC NEVER STOPPED – MUSIC FROM THE MOTION PICTURE is available now from Rhino at all digital retailers for a suggested list price of $11.99. The collection will also be available on CD on March 29 at Amazon.com and select indie retail stores for a suggested list price of $13.98. The film opens in limited release on March 18. Please visit www.themusicneverstopped-movie.com for more info and access to select advance screenings.

A pivotal moment in the film features the father and son share a bonding moment while attending a Grateful Dead concert in the ’80s. Previously unreleased live performances of “Truckin’” (Noblesville, IN, 7/15/89) and “Touch of Grey” (East Rutherford, NJ, 10/14/89) can be heard playing during the scene. Both are included on the soundtrack, along with a previously unreleased live version of “Sugar Magnolia” recorded on February 24, 1971 in Port Chester, NY. In addition to the three unreleased tracks, a trio of classic Dead recordings also appear on the soundtrack: “Ripple,” “Uncle John’s Band,” and the live version of “Not Fade Away/Goin’ Down The Road Feeling Bad” from their eponymous live album, better known as Skull & Roses.

The soundtrack also features a new track from The Tulips, a musical group formed first as friends, then to perform "Summer Song" for the film. The song was written by Kraig Jarret Johnson, sung by Chrissy Amphlett, accompanied by Charley Drayton, Kraig Jarret Johnson and Greg Wieczorek and produced by Charley Drayton. More will be blooming from The Tulips as they continue to write and record.

“Music is such an integral character,” director Jim Kohlberg says of the film. “We were able to put together this incredible soundtrack with a great deal of detail, patience and luck. I wasn’t going to do the film unless we could get the music...”
