antovolk 95 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Today's U.S. trailer (and the teaser from last week) features Jóhannsson's score! Here it is SFX/dialogue free (from the official press master of the trailer) ^^^ EDIT: originally believed this was just Jóhannsson (according to the screenwriter Eric Heiserrer) but it seems the trailer track is by Confidential Music featuring elements from Jóhannsson's score (think the first half is just JJ?)

antovolk 95 Posted August 16, 2016 Author Share Posted August 16, 2016 As I just updated in the OP - I originally believed this was just JJ but turns out more people were involved in this particular track. First half seems to be just JJ tho? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 7,490 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I like the trailer. Looks promising! I was under the impression the trailer music was someone "aping" Jóhannsson, or at least channeling his style through a modern trailer prism. I didn't realize he was involved himself.

Thor 7,490 Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 First reviews are coming in after the Venice premiere this morning, and they're almost all positive! I like this one from The Playlist: http://theplaylist.net/denis-villeneuves-arrival-amy-adams-jeremy-renner-great-gravity-defying-sci-fi-venice-review-20160901/ Quote " Instead Bradford Young‘s visuals do a great deal of the storytelling, along with Adams’ exceptional performance, the evocative sound design and Jóhann Jóhannsson‘s insta-classic strings-based score (when the aliens come, let there be cellos). " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewya 360 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Some info about the score: "Johannsson worked with several singers and vocal ensembles and combined both classical and avant-garde elements in his compositions, augmenting his already unique approach of combining orchestral writing with digital sound processing. Among those appearing are the prestigious Theatre of Voices, conducted by Paul Hillier, and artists such as Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe and Hildur Guonadottir, known for their unique musicianship. Johannsson also integrated some found sounds from the legendary avant-garde vocalist Joan La Barbara into his score. The soundtrack was recorded in Prague, Copenhagen and his native Reykjavik.

Incanus 5,714 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 I can't say much about the clips as they do not say much. I predict a score that does its job in the film but will be an awful droning listening experience. And the score and the composer will probably be called intelligent. I am hoping that vocal work will be more prominent than it is on the clips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 I love Johannsson's non-film work but have yet to really connect to one of his film scores.

Are you kidding me? It's one of my Top 10 favourite scores last year. And the film is in the top 5. As for the clips for ARRIVAL, they sound pretty much like I expected. Dark, hypnotizing and gorgeous stuff! I can't wait to see the film -- the Norwegian press screening is as late as November 7th, which is probably later than anyone else.

Thor 7,490 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Well, you'd need to specify if you're talking in the film or on album. I like it in both cases, but for slightly different reasons. As an album, I love the relentless, gritty percussion in several tracks -- adds a very threedimensional depth to the sound. But then he sometimes breaks up the agression with gorgeous cues like "Many Mothers" which has a bit of LAWRENCE OF ARABIA vibe going on; the desert despair. I also like how he uses his extensive background in electronic music to tastefully insert those elements organically (which is a thing you rarely see with more traditional composers attempting the same). A very engrossing sense of rhythm, which makes (almost) each track sound like its own composition. I do wish the album was sequenced better and more succinctly, though. I currently have a 17-track, 63 minute version which works reasonably well. But I'm still looking for a playlist that balances each element of the score more carefully. Maybe some 50 minutes and a couple of tracks shorter, with a better feel of ebb and flow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
