Matt C 453 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Neat. It's gratifying to see the composer conduct the live-to-picture score performance.... didn't know he wanted to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneBuckFilms 319 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Well THIS is a turn of events. I almost went to the one he was going to do for Titanic before, but he cancelled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmmusic 1,826 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Is it easy to handle synths in such live performances?I mean I thought the synth parts have post-processing on them etc. with various effects.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 8,008 Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 Sometimes they perform them live and it sounds all right. In other cases, the score is considerably re-arranged for orchestra. Like Gladiator, for example.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Gladiator, for example.Karolwell i remember some voice pads etc. in the opening underwater scenes, that seem quite difficult to be "performed".Of course they could do this:They could keep the synth recordings and play on top with the orchestra.

crocodile 8,008 Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 I've not seen the film for a very very long time. Must be something around 16-17 years.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were played live, they'll do that.I don't know for sure but I think Horner usually does prelays. I don't recall seeing keyboard players at his sessions like you would with Goldsmith.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Goldsmith only had live synth playing at the session up untill the mid-80's I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmmusic 1,826 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Damn. Couldn't it have been another Horner score? ANY other Horner score?I don't think they chose what score to play.They chose what film to show! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Ware 526 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Goldsmith only had live synth playing at the session up untill the mid-80's I think.Up to Supergirl.Sometimes they perform them live and it sounds all right. In other cases, the score is considerably re-arranged for orchestra. Like Gladiator, for example.KarolIt will need considerable conforming to make the score fit the film; this has the makings of a musical mess. I will be stunned if Horner actually conducts the thing.

Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Any idea why Jerry stopped recording his synths "in the room" at that point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 If I recall they had trouble properly balancing the orchestra and synths for that score. Mixing the synths in after gives you a much greater control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Yeah. I used to be vehemently opposed to prelays or postlays of anything (soloists, synths, choir) - anything where all the players weren't together. But it's silly to pretend that the whole recording studio system doesn't have anything to offer symphonic music. Especially when the end result is meant to be heard in the theater and on album, rather than necessarily in a concert hall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 8,008 Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 I think Horner still records most of the stuff in the room - even solo vocals and stuff like that. The exceptions are Avatar and The Amazing Spider-Man where synths are pre-layed.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeH 768 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 I don't think Supergirl was the last 'live' time for JG. The synths for Explorers, Star Trek V, and The River Wild were recorded in the room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 They certainly sound like it, and in The River Wild sessions footage, I believe you can see the guys at the keyboards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeH 768 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 In the liner notes for Explorers Bruce Botnick talks about the process of recording them live. And then there's the session footage from ST:V and River Wild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 8,008 Posted April 22, 2015 Author Share Posted April 22, 2015 As it turns out, I cannot go to this. Last minute problems...As I cannot get a refund or exchange ticket, I need to get rid of it.If anyone wants my ticket FOR FREE (don't expect to sell it anyway), just let me know. It would be a shame to waste it.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leeallen01 2,136 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 It's also at the Krakow Film Music Festival this year. I saw it at its first Royal Albert Hall concert, but I'll also be at the Krakow one, because I cover the festival for a website bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
