  1. I never saw Fall-ish personally. Twin Peaks always seemed to take place about April or May.
  2. How to write pleb-only music: Lots of basic square harmonies that don't go anywhere Dependent on only being really loud and surprising, almost unlistenable. Repetitive notes Not much orchestrative thought, just toss in the most common instruments and make them sound weird like they're being played with anger Patterns and melodies that aren't catchy, that just pause awkwardly everywhere and drag on Orchestration that always sounds incomplete and lacks modern imagination Bert's music is not bad for popular music, there are much worse composers. Sym 6 is decent, 9 sounds like a cacophony of primitive ideas.
  3. I just keep a list in my desk drawer of all the tracks ever named Main Titles, and I renamed them Main Titles 1, Main Titles 2... etc. in historical order of who did it first. That list is also the only thing I have in my desk drawer.
  4. Holst: Jupiter! I'll add you to the pro PRO list, for honesty and for being correct.
  5. I don't know anything perfect in popular music, just that my own works are closest to perfect. The OST from Williams closest to the word perfect would be Harry Potter (namely II or I), although not his best OSTs, due to the strife for perfection at first eliminating all supplementary of the ideal. It had the most potential to reach perfection.
  6. There amasses a critical degree of skepticism whenever anyone with some experience respams Beethoven or Bach or whoever popular composer on a thread about greatest achievements. Certainly extant greatness among the commonplace, but nothing of a pinnacle consequence.
  7. Life as a House, sounds like the music when youre building a house in one of The Sims games.
  8. You know how original Americans were like a completely different race? Well I think The Lord of the Rings characters were the original Irish race, and a group from somewhere totally else showed up and colonized the island since then, exterminating all the Irish. Since the Hobbits however were the most remote and unthreatening of all the Irish, they didn't get exterminated in time but had time to breed/intermingle with the new residents of Ireland. Hence clear Hobbit blood still in these parts.
  9. The first half of The Matrix 4 is actually a bit underrated, and those who keep saying they didn't understand what was going on in this movie, are not even smart anyway. So not a good critique. Other than these points however, I agree with all the lukewarm reviews, but yes, an underrated first half.
  10. I never really thought about this question until I watched Inception recently. Can't name many endearing qualities about its score, Hans Zinger sounds like a hot mess here. Totally the wrong movie for his newer, enlightened and sophisticated 'wave pop'. This may be because Zinger misjudged the conceptual character the music should portray in the film; that is, time. Every film has an invisible and supplemental subconscious character called the score, but it needs to add some kind of new information or else it sounds thoughtless. The Matrix's score was a brilliantly-written character.
  11. I might've voted for Gimp OST if it was about the standalone score, but I usually don't swing that way. You write something just okay like Wash Away OST, but it ends up being a pretty good choice for the film. It comes down to the editor as well, heck, you can almost feel more effort put into conceptualizing Wash Away's OST than Gimp's.
  12. Better film than Cast Away YES. But as far as why they're similar, it's a new recommendation for those who like Cast Away. There's a slight thematic similarity I don't want to spoil.
  13. Filmmaking Forrest Gump. Scoring Cast Away. Film kind of like Cast Away but better The Family Man.
  14. Popular Uematsu pieces are usually the most average: It's too many Final Fantasy fans, who pretend they love Uematsu, not real Uematsu fans! If I mention Protect the Espers/Save Them, most of them will respond "what?" Somehow the way this track loops reminds me of the battle of Tybalt and Mercutio.
  15. Wow. Someone is rescoring maybe the greatest film score of all time. My reaction Incredible job so far Upon hearing the first couple tracks I love the use of textures and melodies. I understand this project is also for fun and something which is repeatable later.
  16. I prefer the pirate music of Michael Land and the Monkey Island series. I love how when venturing far off you eventually reencounter the same themes in new ways, for example, The Scumm Bar and then Lucre Town.
