Master composer Austin Wintory has been doing some videos on composing and his latest is pretty cool, about when not to put music in a film and it made me think of Cast Away in a whole different way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTdF9kKjXFE

Wintory is also one of the nicest people around, I've talked with him a few times and he's really humble and generous with his time to talk about music.

Thanks for linking that, he has a great conversational style and it lines up quite neatly with what I’m teaching my middle schoolers rn

I'm having trouble remembering a film score that I was reminded of by the score for Ema. What's another movie that has big single electronic chords like that?

Really digging Ryuichi Sakamoto's Minamata score. Also it was the fastest I've managed to pick him out as the composer for a movie while watching it, the second I heard the main theme on a piano I knew it was Sakamoto which got me very excited.

Zimmer's Dune score is interesting. It worked well with the movie but on its own it's pretty weird and slightly disjointed but on the whole feels like he left his comfort zone quite a bit. I was disappointed by the inclusion of the middle-eastern sounds early on. Not because they weren't good but combined with the whole desert aesthetic it felt like something that's been done to death and I was hoping for something a bit more novel there. And it's off particularly since the movie obviously doesn't even take place in the middle-east. But otherwise I'm enjoying it I guess.

Yeah, I guess I should've said that I got that since it's apparent and all, but even so, and it's not a huge critisism by any means, just when I first heard it I was a bit let down because it was exactly what I would've expected to hear when I was hoping Zimmer would've done something different there. It only happens early on in the score though so it's not that bad.

It was good but the best stuff was the themes for the other planets. The Atreides and Sardaukar music was great. For space middle east music you can't top Paul Ruskay's Homeworld 2 music.

I didn't love it when I first heard it, but its great in the movie itself, like you said. On the flip side, I loved the James Bond score when I first listened, and like it less after seeing the film. That final death scene didn't do it for me so that it ruined the "standard Zimmer crescendo song" that accompanied it. Darko fucked around with this message at 22:55 on Dec 14, 2021 |

I hope that's not a spoiler for the Bond movie because I haven't seen it yet. But as for Dune, I've been listening to it now over the course of the past few days and it's definitely growing on me but it feels.. light? I was hoping for more texture between the high points (as in, the film's more dramatic moments) but it just kind of floats from one to the next. I love the bag pipes but they just come and go. It's such a strange beast. And it doesn't have the trademark Zimmer finale at all which I was hoping for, to be honest. No Chevaliers De Sangreal or Lost But Won here which for the first time in a while I feel the score kind of needed.

I didn't even know that Tron Legacy got a "complete" score release last year. It's only nine extra tracks that play after the original score but hey, that's something and it's pretty great. It even has the version of "Outlands" with the organ coming in which I've wanted since the movie came out 10 years ago!Darko posted:stuff Yeah buddy, that's a pretty big spoiler in your post for the movie.

All those tracks got released when the score came out, they were just strung out through different places. Some were only Apple, some were only some phone companies, ect. But they were all at least on YouTube or files. Very weird roll out

I remember there being some extra tracks but only a couple so I was surprised to see them all on an actual album release like this because I hadn't heard most of them, few as there are. Still, the tracks are great for the most part and who doesn't want more Daft Punk Tron music?

Another thing worth noting about the 'complete' version of the TRON: Leagacy score is that it was made available in high-res audio for the first time, if you're into that sort of thing. Also Joseph Trapanese - who worked in the score with Daft Punk - wouldn't agree with the name of that release. https://twitter.com/JoeComposer/status/1340021645415596032 Trapanese's score for TRON: Uprising is also worth a listen, you get a good idea of what parts of Legacy's score was more him than Daft Punk. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5A83fXUikc

I watched both movies directed by Tom Ford last month and both had scores by Abel Korzeniowski that have just been haunting me ever since. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rb5Q2ejcxE4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePPx8rCCssA

A Single Man, besides being a fantastic film, does have an amazing score. It's kind of weird listening to it without Colin Firth narrating over it.

Haven't mentioned this for fear of seeming too spammy, but I run a podcast (Right on Cue) that interviews film/TV/video game composers every 1-2 weeks. We've gotten some killer guests recently: Andrew Prahlow for Outer Wilds, Ted Shapiro for Severance, and one of the members of Son Lux for EEAAO, to name a few. Another fun recurring feature is getting composers to offer track commentaries on some of the most integral/fun/interesting tracks, which is such a treat. Today's ep is with Ben Lovett who scored the new Hellraiser -- we dug into a lot of interesting stuff, from building a "tortured" piano by detuning it, wrapping chains around it, etc., to juggling Christopher Young's original themes with Lovett's own approach. Hope y'all enjoy! https://open.spotify.com/show/0kpZClQu3Kl9veO6HYU9bi?si=4c90b014843a441d Hewlett fucked around with this message at 19:07 on Oct 29, 2022 |

Yeah, I loved them, and Score: The Podcast, but a lot of film score podcasts drop pretty quickly, which is a shame. If you're looking for other good film score podcasts that are also running, The Film Scorer is another scrappy small one like mine I can recommend. And it's Disney, but I really dig Jon Burlingame's "For Scores" pod.

Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence, The Last Emperor and The Sheltering Sky are some of his more famous film scores, and more recently there were the scores to The Revenant and Minamata.
