Incanus 5,714 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I have said it before but I'll say it again that the way Giacchino succeeded in building this whole lexicon of themes and ideas and developed it through 6 consecutive seasons is nigh mind boggling. Especially considering the way he worked, by his own words not having any idea of how the show would develop or without any prior knowledge of the plot beyond the episode he was scoring. And yes he must have often been surprised when some of his musical ideas payed so well off in ways he didn't even think of when he first introduced them. But he was also very savvy in taking up on the opporturnities to employ these ideas throughout and finding suitable dramatic links and context for them.Generally it would be interesting to know what kind of process TV scoring has compared to films as the post production schedule is usually much more hectic and time constraints might not allow a deep spotting sessions for each episode.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 LOST as a body of work, musically and otherwise, is one of my favorite things ever. I'll go through the albums again once I'm done with the series, but in the show, the music reigns supreme. Dixon Hill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,364 Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 Varese should release a disc of missing highlights from the six seasons. Maybe engage fans to vote for what to be included like Kraft did for the Elfman box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,364 Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 I recently came across this great series of youtube videos which covers 30 of the themes from the show, and for each one has a new picture AND lists the OST tracks where you can find the theme in question. Pretty cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,714 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Wow listening to those themes made me realize how much of Giacchino's best work thusfar has been for Lost. Those were some awesome themes and moments. I need to go back to the soundtracks after this and give them another spin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incanus 5,714 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I have to keep bringing Michael Kamen's Band of Brothers up (although a miniseries).

karelm 2,913 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Giacchino's work on Lost is some of the best TV music ever.In recent times at least, I would agree. Hard to say the best ever because then you're talking about things like the 1960s twilight zone, etc., which is some phenomenal music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLUMENKOHL 1,068 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 I took the Lost soundtracks for a spin this past weekend...and I heard something I hadn't heard before: Season 4 Soundtrack, "Lying for the Island" 3:16-3:22 Is that a woman's voice?

Datameister 2,042 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Good catch. I'm guessing it's just one of the violas or cellos attacking that note in a way that happens to mimic a human voice, but it sure does sound like humming, doesn't it?

curlytoot 97 Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Does anyone have a link to an analysis of the various LOST themes? Pretty sure at one point I came across a good one, but am having a hard time finding any. The show has so many themes and motifs; I was wondering if anyone had catalogued their appearances on the albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
