Unexpected random encounters with the music of John Williams
Quppa replied to Fabulin's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
Japanese TV shows often use John Williams' music, but mostly Star Wars (for anything to do with space), Jurassic Park (dinosaurs) and Jaws (sharks). This week's episode of the quiz show Konya wa Nazotore used Hook for the first time that I can recall - maybe the producers were inspired by the release of the Ultimate Edition. The segment in question was regarding a fancy department store - I guess The Banquet is kind of regal. Aside from JW, How to Train Your Dragon is used very frequently, along with some older Giacchino themes. Overall they have good taste. 世界が感動!ニッポンのスゴいとこ2時間SP | TVer-00.42.06.524-00.42.28.546-seg1.mp4 世界が感動!ニッポンのスゴいとこ2時間SP | TVer-00.43.06.584-00.43.40.618-seg2.mp4 世界が感動!ニッポンのスゴいとこ2時間SP | TVer-00.50.25.022-00.50.45.042-seg3.mp4 Interesting that Japan is exactly the same, even down to HTTYD! -
The electric guitar in Opening (track 1) and Blue (track 15) reminds me a bit of Clint Mansell's The Wrestler. I can't see myself listening to this album regularly, but frankly any new Hisaishi release is to be treasured.
-
Hisaishi composed the music for the new Japanese film Silent Love (not to be confused with the main theme from A Scene at the Sea (1991)). The soundtrack is available on streaming platforms. VGMdb has the detailed credits. The soundtrack album is only 31 minutes long and is quite minimalistic (in the vein of The Boy and the Heron). Don't expect hummable melodies.
-
It was a happy surprise to see a new episode in my feed! Would you consider releasing recordings (maybe a 'best of' compilation) of the live episodes?
-
Does the bad blood between Éric Serra and EON mean a Goldeneye expansion is unlikely to ever happen? John Altman said in 2016 that he was on speaking terms with Serra again, and it would be good to see his tank chase cue released officially one day.
-
Utterly bemused by Didier Deutsch's mindset. He's listed as a producer alongside Mike Matessino on the La-La Land Records expansions of 1941, the Fury and Rosewood - did he object to those not being quick and dirty re-releases, too?

"Wonka" Score by Joby Talbot & Neil Hannon
Quppa replied to GerateWohl's topic in General Discussion
Hannon and Talbot (and writer/director Paul King) were on Edith Bowman's Soundtracking podcast recently. I haven't listened beyond what was in that episode, but the Bricusse/Newley Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory score is a childhood favourite and I'm glad it's referenced. -
Begging Quartet, La-La Land and the other specialty labels to coördinate their releases so I don't have to pay for shipping twice Ordered from Screen Archives Entertainment who still have the cheapest (uninsured) shipping to Australia at US$16. Happily the US dollar fell a bit today - thank you, Papa Powell.

John Williams: Live in Vienna - Japan reissue with 3 bonus tracks!
Quppa replied to AOP's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
I'm hoping a digital release will show up on the 30th as well. The singles and original album are already available. -
Composer Threads The Official Michael Giacchino Thread
Quppa replied to #SnowyVernalSpringsEternal's topic in General Discussion
I hadn't heard this before. It seems like the claim comes from an unsourced edit made in 2020 to the Raiders of the Lost Ark (soundtrack) Wikipedia page, and I presume it's referring to this melody in the piano concerto, though I think 'inspired by' is a bit strong. -
It's probably just the instrumentation, but the woodwind motif at about 0:40 in 矢羽根 (Arrow Feathers, track 11) and 0:40 in 急接近 (Sudden Approach, track 23) reminds me a bit of Thomas Newman's Angels in America. This is great. The tracks being so short (the average length is under 2 minutes) makes the album feel quite fragmented - a slightly longer suite at the end would have been nice to tie things up, but I guess there's no precedent for that in Studio Ghibli soundtracks. @j39m Do you remember if it's just the Kenshi Yonezu song that plays over the end credits?
-
Speaking of his Ghibli work, I've been enjoying the licensed Studio Ghibli Wayô Piano Collection - the performances are quite distinct from Hisaishi's own playing (sometimes much faster), and I hadn't heard piano arrangements for some of these tracks before.
-
Compared to his other Ghibli works, this soundtrack is closest to The Wind Rises (minus the accordion) in overall feel. I'm enjoying it, even if I'm not humming the melodies just yet. I think of Ikaros every time I hear the first chord of Ask Me Why (all 3 versions). The pieces are otherwise quite different. There are some mighty chair (?) creaks in the song by Kenshi Yonezu (who seems to have a lisp) at 0:21, 1:02, 1:11, 1:53-2:00, 2:10, 2:17, 3:02, 3:21, 3:31 and 4:16-4:24. Reminds me of Journey to the Island.
-
The novel of the same name appears in one scene but isn't otherwise related to the film. The physical CD is on sale today, but there's no digital release just yet.
-
I'm very happy with the performances overall, but does 5:45 to 5:50 in Symphonic Variation "Merry-Go-Round + Cave of Mind" (from 'Howl’s Moving Castle') sound off to anyone else? The same brass part in Sulliman's Magic Square ~ Return to the Castle (~2:40) on the original soundtrack and Symphonic Variation "Merry-Go-Round" on Works III (~8:58) sounds much better. The rest of the track sounds fine.

Why on earth would a film score ever need 230 (or 550) musicians?
Quppa replied to Bayesian's topic in General Discussion
Another example where a large orchestra arguably made sense: Desplat used a 108-piece ensemble for Godzilla (2014), plus an 80-person choir. -

Conan the Barbarian infamously used 24 French horns.
