    lol, I found this photo and had to swipe it for the website.

    I remember at Ubeda Michael kept taking random photos - even when he was on stage doing is Q&A he'd take pics of the audience. biggrin

    I remember that. I wonder if he kept any of those pictures. We might be in one of those!

    I wonder if the supposed video he took for J.J. Abrams ever saw the light of day. tongue

    Regardless, it was pretty cool.

    Although Michael Giacchino's score can be touching at times, the show doesn't even have a proper theme tune.

    The most absurd thing I´ve read lately. TOP EPIC FAIL.

    Not if it is preceded by Lost isn't a particularly musical television programme, and followed by In fact, the nearest thing is probably Charlie Pace's fictional hit You All Everybody . This guy shows he has no idea what he is talking about

    Those are odd statements indeed but it doesn't have a theme tune in the sense that most people would use the phrase.

    I know what the guy's saying about a theme tune a.k.a. theme song, but it's still idiotic to disregard Michael's music as "sometimes touching".

    I imagine there is only a small band of people who would really like any of the score apart from the "touching" bits (and I'm in that band). Some of it's on the challenging side for tv music.

  16. Anthony, perception and intention are such different things. Despite the accessibly simple arpeggiated main theme Desplat wrote for NEW MOON (about the only Desplat piece a lot of people round here liked), you still had a bunch of reviewers -- including some that know quite a thing or two about film music -- remarking that the series still didn't revolve around an interesting musical idea. And that theme was a lot clearer, forgive me for saying than LOST's theme (as it were).

    I remember spending an interesting half hour with a relatively (self-)important film critic who had to gradually retract, when faced with evidence, his belief that UNITED 93 was an example of a film which benefited enormously from not having music. Tee hee.

    What was so strange about that was that that particular fiasco was started by SCORE FANS!

    Regardless, the comments on that article are idiotic. I guess this particular writer requires John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John to sing the story before considering it to have any musical qualities.

    Why we're even bothering. Michael and Southall, you're giving him too much credit. Your points have much meaning in them of course, but they're based on intellectual and perhaps philosophical and / or academic discussions that could go on forever, about the objectivities or subjectivities of musical traits as people have labeled them through the centuries, how ‘real’ they are in actuality, how we use them today in contrast to the past etc etc etc. Which is ALL valid indeed, as different people realize, apprehend, listen to, understand, feel, perform, analyze and live through the same music in very different ways. It's all true and a huge topic of discussion, as for instance, when you wrote about what different people consider as a musical "theme" or "proper" and "inproper" usage of that for a movie / series / character etc (i.e. all usages of programme music).

    But this is not the case with him here; he's just a friggin idiot.

    But the thing is - he isn't an idiot. He's a journalist with a major national newspaper (and not one of our more rubbish ones). He just thinks the same way most people think. "Did they notice the music?" - no, in most cases they didn't.

    Thanks!

    I'm not a designer, I'm just anal. Considering my job in life is a stock controller for CCTV equipment, I have to be creative somewhere else!

    If only everyone who wrote for national newspapers was clever or in this case, musically educated.

    Ok, I´ll give him that (being generous), the show does not have a proper theme tune. But the rest of the statements have no sense. A journalist, specially if he/she writes about films / tv MUST be at least a little educated on all tecnical / artistic aspects.

    You can give him all the credit in the world, but the statement "Lost isn't a particularly musical television programme" is a tad rash. Even if he means it in the sense that there's a lack of songs for a general audience to relate to, or perhaps a lack of a big memorable theme tune in the opening credits, it's still a statement that needs qualifying. I'm not the biggest fan of Lost's music like others are on this board, but even I'm slightly bemused by that remark.

    • CommentTimeFeb 17th 2010
    I'm still not convinced that if you asked Lost's 10 million weekly viewers what they thought of the music, that many of them would even have noticed there's any music in it. I think it's the best-scored weekly tv show around at the moment, but if you asked people what their favourite tv theme is, I think they'd be more likely to choose the song from Cheers or the theme from Mission: Impossible than "Kate and Sawyer's regret theme" or whatever. That's what the article meant, I'm sure.
