- Comment [b]THE MORNING SHOW (S1)[/b] An AppleTV+ series about the politics surrounding a morning show in America, in the wake of one of the anchors’ firing due to sexual harassment allegations. What I found most interesting about the show is how it shows the culture in which sexual harassment can ...

- Comment Was just listening to this as well (To Tokyo), and was about to say (kind of) the same. He apparently wrote it for his sons (low budget) own film, which explains why it’s so understated and ‘small’, as opposed to his more epic previous works. Interesting, a melodic delight after Candyman, and ...

- Comment [b]NP: CANDYMAN - Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe[/b] This is mainly just understated sound design, with a few melancholic reprisals of Philip Glass’ music box theme from the original ([i]Troy Story, Troy Story Reprise[/i]) and some other vague allusions towards Glass’ score or style ([i]The Sweet, ...

- Comment Just heard that Bear will be scoring Apple TV+’s new series Foundation, a sci-fi series based on Isaac Asimov’s books that I’m quite looking forward to. Stoked that Bear will be the composer. I haven’t delved into his music that much yet, but I liked what I heard, and the show getting a ...

- Comment [b]NP: LUCA - Dan Romer[/b] I like the vibe of Romer’s music, which is a good match with the film and I quite enjoyed the score in picture, but the lack of any memorable themes makes this largely forgettable once it’s over.

- Comment Thanks for all of the recommendations! And yes, if I am to buy this score, it would be the LLL-release, especially since the full score presentation is still limited to a single disc (my limit) and such a multi-thematic score does seem to warrant such a release (especially from a composer like ...

- Comment Yeah, I’ve given that OST presentation over on Apple Music a scan now and it does sound good, but not all tracks are available. The La-La Land version does have the OST on disc 2, so that’s good. And the full score presentation fits on disc 1, which could be an ideal length for this type of ...

Never heard the score before, even though I love ...

- Comment Not necessarily, it’s very well possible she started using ‘Lauren’ during the process of transitioning or even before, in anticipation of the ‘medical’ transition. It also depends on your definition of ‘transitioning’. So I wouldn’t draw any conclusions on this.

- Comment Jup, the Effects thing is another one. With the films I (we?) grew up with, you had a lot of ‘how the hell did they do that?!’. Nowadays, the answer to that is usually ‘CGI’. Nothing is real, nothing is tangible, and I think that has impacted supernatural thrillers / horror the most. You ...

- Comment [b]NP: THE POTATO VENTURE - Palu Aaltio[/b] This is actually pretty entertaining. It’s a score for a 17th century set comedy, utilizing orchestra, (female) choir and several medieval instruments like the lute and harpsichord. At one point it even quotes Vivaldi (‘Seasons Pass’).
