    Desplat has finally added "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part One" to his online filmography. I expect full soundtrack details and sound clips up shortly...

    I see. I thought, for a moment, that you were talking about Harry Potter.

  13. I just downloaded an album featuring Desplat's music for various French films before he hit it big in the States. Should be exciting...
  14. That will have a version of The Beat My Heart Skipped, which is a minimalist masterwork of film scoring.

    Are we still talking about Harry Potter, Timmer wink I don't think any of those words could apply to the Harry Potter films...except maybe "flick".

    uhm
    host and executive producer of THE CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO PODCAST | www.cinematicsound.net | www.facebook.com/cinematicsound | I HAVE TINNITUS!
  19. Between Harry Potter, The Tree of Life, and The Special Relationship, I haven't been this excited about a composer since Thomas Newman in the mid-2000s.

    Now, all they have to do is confirm him for Part 2 and I'll be ecstatic.
  20. I must admit it's good to have a composer who is a blind buy these days. But yeah... wet, eh?

    I don't do blind-buys often. The Harry Potter series is the sole exception for me.

    I recently did it with INFRA (Max richter) and later on i couldn't resist going and listening to the clips themselves; i ended up changing my order to one of his older lp's which i didn't own on vinyl. Serves me right. Blind buys and me are really not good friends. Let's hope the label got my email before sending the order out 'cause i didn't get a reply yet and i am worried!
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.
  24. Blind buy Max Richter... that's a bit risky!
    I must admit with Desplat, I did check the film Special Relationship before ordering, and listened to some Tamara Drewe clips too. But that's mostly a formality... there's not many scores from him I haven't bought that have more than a few minutes on album.

    In answer to your question about the compilation, Demetris, I was talking about the Audiard-Desplat compilation with music from Les Regardes Hommes Tombre, De Battre mon couer s'est Arrete, Read my lips, and A Self Made Hero.

    Yeap, that's what i gathered; i have that cd, i love it and you're quite spot on, the suite from the beat my heart skipped is simply brilliant; i wonder if there was more music in that film and if yes : 1) if it was just more of the same or 2) why it got never fully released.

    As with Max Richter, i know; he can get quite dangerous when he goes completely repetitive and minimalistic, like in his recent works, but with stuff like 'the blue notebooks' and the piece 'the nature of daylight' it's an instant sell for me; and i have you to thank, if i recall correctly.
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.
  26. There is no more music in that film, and the suite is the best way to hear it. (The original score album is better, as it has a 22 minute version of the suite which returns to the opening at the end, very effectively.) As a score, it's scattered through 7-8 places around the film.

    Yeap, and lots of songs from what i recall; is the movie any good? Or is this too french as well?

    The other day i watched the prophet and was stunned, by both the very strong movie and of course Desplat's beautiful, overlooked score.
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.
  28. The movie is good. Their last 3 films together - Prophet, Read my Lips and The Beat my Heart Skipped are all really fine films. I'm sure the early stuff is worth watching too - I just haven't seen it yet.

    Off topic, but have you heard the mash-up of Richter's "The Nature of Daylight" and Dinah Washington's "This Bitter Earth"? Absolutely gut-wrenching.
  30. I like that version.
    Amusingly, I worked on the sound of a feature film here called 'PENELOPA', which originally was to use 'On the nature of daylight' as well as other original and pre-composed Richter themes as its score. Over the course of the sound post, we got 'Daylight' out of the film, and it was just as well. The director wouldn't have liked the perception that he was using the latest piece of popular orchestral music, and the fact that it even popped up in a Scorsese psychological thriller would make it look like the 'Iguazu' of 2010 (in reference to Santaolalla's oft-temped piece).
