cordax replied to Iris's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
jw wrote the music for that? -
Williams to co-conduct St. Louis Symphony, November 1
cordax replied to MovieMusicMaestro's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
I know right? I'd be satisfied if the boston pops showed up in dallas even, with or without williams -
Petition to have trailer soundtracks on the album of the score
cordax replied to Iris's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
Even the trailer music to the recent star wars movies have been pretty low quality. Just "epic" renditions of williams' themes but with lots of percussion and cheap sounding rising sweep effects. People seem to like them so whatever, but it isnt professional to put a cheap demo track in the same album as a multi-million dollar music production -
Favorite short musical moments in Williams scores?
cordax replied to Balahkay's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
That is oddly the same key and almost exact orchestration used in the intersection scene, if not blatantly the same thing. Never heard williams borrow something of his own so closely before. May be an intended reference? -
i have never seen williams not wear a turtleneck during an interview. truly a disgrace to his name
-
has anyone seen john williams even slightly frustrated?
-
Almost every bombastic piece of JW ends in some variation of "dun dun dun dun." I guess he really wants to let you know that the piece is done. Usually has nothing to do with the rest of the piece.

Movies you flicked off after five minutes
cordax replied to Unlucky Bastard's topic in General Discussion
Got maybe around 30 minutes into Munich. Sorry if I cannot appreciate jw and spielberg but this is perhaps the most drooling movie I have ever seen -
I've always had a strange fascination with this one snip from the final charge scene

Thanks for your feedback! This is actually my first complete track as well, so it's really nice to get some input on it. I did notice the triplet motif in your track haha; sounds like michael kamen. The track you posted is quite nice. 4:55 sounds very ep3 immolation scene and that's definitely appreciated. I primarily used used spitfire brass, woodwind, percussion, and cinematic studio strings for the mockup. I recently picked up cinematic studio brass so I'll probably use that next time.

Recently got my first scoring gig for an Indie WWII game on steam called Warfare 1944 (Not to be mistaken for the flashgame). It's got a bit of williams, korngold, and some michael kamen style mixed in. I'm working on some more tracks but this is the main theme
-
That's nice, @Steve McQueen. The chords reminds me of minority report a bit This one is kinda a mix between JFK and Saving Ryan's Privates
-
worked some more on the last thing i did and another thing that sounds like everything else i do For better or worse, I'm starting to notice that my writing is drastically different when using sibelius or fl studio.
-
Is nice. What VST is that? And can you use soundcloud or something similar so we dont have to download it? i threw together a fun piece at 3 am in sibelius hence the title

Mostly because of A New Beginning. Well maybe it's my second favorite against Hook -
What Is The Last Score You Listened To? (older scores)

Minority Report- my altime favorite Williams score -
I've never actually heard of Korngold until now. i think i have a new favorite
-
Does anyone know of any composers that Williams studied or took heavy inspiration from? I know so far Stravinsky, Wagner, Howard Hanson, and probably Copland, but a lot of JW's stuff has this specific "classic" film music style that I'm having trouble pinpointing the origins of. With exceptions to his scores that took obvious inspiration due to the film's temp music or whatnot. unsure if this topic has been made before

short meh thing

I'm baffled by this progression at the end of Lost Boys Ballet.

You're right. But for a notation program, notepreformer sounds exceptional compared to the other ones available. It just takes a bit more effort to get it into the quality vst samples.
