Popular Post The Psycho Pianist 216 Posted March 9, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 9, 2017 Seems like a piece that starts off quietly and slowly, maybe with some solo passages - before building up later on. At least, from what I can see. Will, crumbs, Muad'Dib and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Tom 4,614 Posted March 9, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 9, 2017 Have we ever seen new Williams sheet music snapped in almost real time before? I like how Williams adds the personal touch of "for Kobe Bryant." This piece could be special. Cerebral Cortex, Will and crumbs 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will 2,215 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Okay, someone do a mock-up quick! (On a serious note, awesome to see sheet music, even if I can't read it) Also: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Tom 4,614 Posted March 9, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 9, 2017 This is probably the first time in many years Williams has composed a score for a movie with a near-final edit while scoring.

Yes! And it also probably was built with Williams in mind, at least to some extent. Projects like this usually really depend on only the mix of music and picture to carry them along. I think the music will be treated very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloodBoal 7,538 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 A soundtrack release for an animated short (which is probably under 20 minutes long)? Unlikely.

Tom 4,614 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I doubt there would be a straight "soundtrack" release, but its Williams. He will create a concert version of the piece, perform it likely this summer, and we will have that version. Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will 2,215 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Somehow I have a feeling this will sound kind of like the "NBC Olympic Basketball" music he wrote a while back: It almost sounds un-Williams-y in its level of accessibility -- but accessibility and instant gravitas may be exactly what Kobe wants. It's awesome in any case so I certainly wouldn't mind if Williams worked in the same style. zoltan_902 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never heard it before, but I like it, though I find it a bit absurd that it's supposed to be music for basketball - it sound way too noble for a game as rough and dynamic as that.

Well haha the basketball name is actually a bit arbitrary, I believe - the first time JWFans heard it was on the NBC Basketball channel back during the 2004 Olympics during times where they would just show the NBC logo when there were no games going on. I'd bet that Williams just wrote it as a general Olympics piece for use as needed on the NBC networks. And indeed, it was used during the primetime show intro on the main NBC network several times during the Rio Games, presumably among many other non-basketball-related instances. I'm actually not even sure when it was written. Possibly around 2004, but possibly even in the 80s. I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup -- unless you count smaller in-film things, like the openings of GUIDE FOR THE MARRIED MAN or NOT WITH MY WIFE YOU DON'T. Or "Mr. DNA" from JURASSIC PARK. Etc.
