He tells me about writing music for film and in particular the score he wrote for 2018 movie: THE MAN WHO KILLED HITLER AND THEN THE BIGFOOT ... It stars Sam Elliott and is a truly wonderful film...

Jay 37,265 Posted December 13, 2019 Author Share Posted December 13, 2019 The Man Who Killed Hitler and then The Bigfoot got a runner-up mention in Film Music Mag's Best of 2019 list Quote THE MAN WHO KILLED HITLER AND THEN THE BIGFOOT (Joe Kraemer / La La Land Records) Since his violently eccentric work on “Way of the Gun,” Joe Kraemer has scored no end of oddball projects, whether it was the Russian cop show spoof “Comrade Detective” or retro adventures in madcap indie directing for “King Cohen.” Now given this seemingly outlandish tale of a grizzled veteran who notched up a notorious dictator and monster, one might not expect Kraemer to apply the kind of somberness he gave to his score for the seen-it-all veteran called “Jack Reacher.” Yet it’s through this proficient “Man” of action’s age that Kraemer finds unexpected lyricism with music that’s far more about a lifetime of regret than it is finishing off two nightmarish subjects. It’s a theme of being in the twilight years that results in any number of poignantly beautiful Americana orchestral melodies. With strings, winds and piano at their most sympathetically delicate, Kraemer gives Sam Elliott, an actor who personifies the west (even when he isn’t in it) the kind of career-summing melancholy valentine that might accompany a cowboy into the sunset, – though militaristic excitement and pulse-pounding adventure is well on hand as the tall tales end up being down to earth indeed. That writer-director Robert D. Krzykowski takes an utterly serious approach to “Bigfoot” allows Kraemer’s oft times magical approach to wrap up this soldier’s life with touching symphonic uplift, making us believe in the lyrical possibility of a happy ending indeed. http://www.filmmusicmag.com/?p=20072 Nice to see his work talked about without mentioning MI5!

KK 3,307 Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 A very bleak, insider look at the industry: Quote "This is a sad truth for everyone trying to make it in show business - it is virtually impossible for people who are neither born into money or born into the business. And it IS a business - money is the bottom line. As one very successful producer recently told me "Joe, no one gives a shit about your art". I can count the number of mainstream Hollywood composers that I KNOW write all their music themselves on one hand, John Williams being the most famous example. Everyone else is a team leader, a figurehead for a team of composers who are getting no credit, very little money, and no job security. None of us have any job security anyway. One of my closest friends made a deal behind my back that swindled me out of hundreds of thousands of dollars and then dumped me for a Zimling and this was after assuring me that working for him/her was the same as having a "savings bond". In 2010, having This is not a pity-party for me. This is just a reality check for people who dream of scoring movies in Hollywood: It is a cutthroat community of people who are in the business to get rich and famous. Writing music of any quality is secondary to that ultimate goal. score "The Way of The Gun" and close to 40 TV movies for the Hallmark Channel, I was so broke I had to sell my CDs and DVDs to feed my son. And keep in mind, being an artist is not a civil right - no one owes me anything, even the ex-friend who swindled me. Making art is a hobby, and if we can manage to make some money from it, so much the better. I promise to always do my best to write all the music in anything I score myself, and if I don't, to properly credit the people who co-write with me (i.e. to the film in a meaningful way. These promises have definitely impeded progress in my career - I haven't scored a single mainstream Hollywood movie since 'Rogue Nation'. But I also haven't ripped anyone off, or swindled my friends, or presented a false impression. I promise not to hire an 'assistant' who is really a ghost-writer. I promise to do my best not to just copy the temp, but to contribute of myself to directors, producers, or studio execs. To the OP, Nadia, thank you for sharing your story. There are a lot of hard truths that need to be shown to those who hope to join this business. I think often of a quote once heard, spoken by one of the cinema's greatest composers: "I got into this business to make a living. Now people get into it to make a killing." In closing, let me reiterate, this is not whining - this is a tough business, and it's not for the faint of heart to undertake. It can be wonderfully rewarding, but it is also impossibly challenging. I hope it can evolve to a community that helps each other rather than competes with each other." Jurassic Shark and Jay 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is sort of the whole point of many library albums - imitating existing works really closely, for productions that want a very genuine 'soundtrack' sound but can't pay for the original.
