- Comment That concert really is lovely. Highlights what a major figure Desplat is in the history of the medium. And that's without anything like Birth, Ghostwriter or tree of life making an appearance.

- Comment Want to increase activity here relative to other film music forums? Simple... Attach this website to a business that has an active online clientele. This was how it worked for Film Score Monthly and MovieMusic.com (when it was an entity). Publish a periodical perhaps too.

- Comment [quote][b]Southall wrote[/b] [b]Battle of Algiers[/b] - Ennio Morricone This is some piece of work. So stark and aggressive and yet so compelling. The music was written for a film about the Battle of Algiers.[/quote] Great score. Have you seen the film?

- Comment NP: [b]Steve Jobs ([red]Daniel Pemberton[/red])[/b] Seriously effective and interesting score concept. I wish the film had ended with the piece 'I play the orchestra' -- would have complicated those final moments a bit more.

- Comment Some recent take-ins... [b]Z for Zachariah[/b] Solid drama at its most elemental, and talk about a commitment to ambiguity with that ending. Heather Mackintosh's score does a sort of folk minimalism, centring on a diegetic hymn that resonates powerfully at the end. Three great strong performances, ...

- Comment NP: [b]Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation ([red]Joe Kraemer[/red])[/b] This is really good, actually. The way he's handled the Schifrin legacy is impressive. The score benefits from the lighter, allegro texture relative to Giacchino and Zimmer's more bombastic approach. (Which makes this also the ...
