ComposerGuy posted:The same thing happened with "Troy". He had to write the score AND get it recorded in less than 2 weeks (due to the composer originally hired, Gabriel Yared, being rejected at the last minute). Is there any explanation for why, exactly, Yared's score got rejected? I've got it and it's quite something. Lots of middle eastern influence and a much more complex set of themes overall than James Horner's really dull generic action score. Can you tell from this theme if the Greeks are supposed to be good or evil? Maybe a little of both? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2O007vSksRo Also, I've been listening to Ramin Djawadi's score for Pacific Rim and finding it a really nice mix of classic orchestral themes and ambient electronica. This theme is a great one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpvGBukpMpY Granted, it's pretty obvious from the music exactly when in the film they were introducing the Chinese and Russian combat teams, but I don't think the music suffers as a result. e: as far as post-2000 James Horner stuff I really like, his score for Enemy At The Gates is really nice. This long, drawn-out cue in particular always makes my hair stand on end https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-SahfFVCeA Sagebrush fucked around with this message at 09:02 on Aug 13, 2013 |

Darko posted:Let me ruin that for you then. Aaaagh gently caress you. I knew there was a reason I liked it so much. (I don't own the Apollo 13 soundtrack though I really should) Well, I dunno, I still think that suite from Enemy At The Gates is good. Even if it is just yet more recycling, it ties it all together pretty well.

Maxwell Lord posted:Appropriate to the thread title, loved Zimmer's work for Interstellar. It's a bit more melodic than his other Nolan scores but has a cool 2001 vibe. Agreed. The huge organ chords that drown everything out periodically are a perfect sonic representation of "awe" -- something incomprehensibly powerful that's both amazing and terrifying. "The Wormhole" does a great job of conveying the feeling of eerie finality that keeps coming up through the film as they keep hitting various points of temporal no-return https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8-xaPDC0io In other news, who is going to do the music for the new Star Wars films? John Williams I assume but he's getting on in age...has he considered passing the torch?
