Disco Stu 15,495 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Randy Newman is an actual genius of a songwriter and lyricist (I'm speaking of his pop albums, not his scores which are also awesome). Thomas is one of the most original, distinct, instantly recognizable film composers of the last half century. Alfred is one of the fracking founding fathers of the medium of film scoring. Lionel lead the Fox music department in the glorious silver age of the 60s to 80s. David can imitate a temp score pretty well if you need him to.

mrbellamy 6,270 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 You'd think Gia would be tweeting about it if it was him, he's usually pretty open about his sessions. I wouldn't be surprised if they did get a relatively unknown Latino/a composer and that's why it hasn't been announced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kasey Kockroach 2,343 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 The Mask is alright. The best thing about it is the dog and the Cuban Pete scene.

mstrox 6,637 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 I really love Theodore Shapiro's work, outside of a few of the more Media-Venturesy-feeling moments in Ghostbusters. He might be my favorite comedy composer at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max 141 Posted June 17, 2017 Author Share Posted June 17, 2017 On 6/13/2017 at 0:04 PM, Alex said: No confirmation of the composer but still A thought: From this tweet, it sounds like they've been in the studio before to record some music. Since the picture that I originally linked to in the main post was sheet music with Giacchino's name on it, posted on Facebook by a Mexican band (Banda Tierra Mojada), that would mean (assuming the image was legit) that they were already recording some of Giacchino's score in the studio by at least December. So while this tweet doesn't confirm anything, it doesn't rule out Giacchino's involvement either... Also, in this interview, Giacchino mentions that there are some movies he can't announce his involvement with yet, and then lists everything we know he's attached to at this point (Spider-Man: Homecoming, War for the Planet of the Apes, Incredibles 2, and Jurassic World 2). So, given that there's something else on the horizon that Giacchino can't announce yet, and given that the sheet music image on Facebook was quickly removed and there is still no official announcement on a composer for Coco, maybe Giacchino really is scoring this, and Pixar is just trying to keep his involvement a secret for some reason. But why keep something like this a secret? (Maybe this is too much theorizing, but a guy can dream, right?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max 141 Posted June 30, 2017 Author Share Posted June 30, 2017 At least this seems like a confirmation (if a tweet from 2 months ago can be trusted)? I hope it turns out to be true! If it is true, I wonder if Giacchino scored this Coco-related short film too. There aren't credits at the end, and I haven't found any credits online either. But if this is him, it might give us an idea of what the actual film might sound like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max 141 Posted July 6, 2017 Author Share Posted July 6, 2017 I found another picture of sheet music (different than the one originally included in the first post before it was removed from Facebook) that shows Giacchino as the composer. The sheet music here lists the arranger as Germaine Franco, who was also the orchestrator listed on the sheet music in the first post. Maybe they brought her in as an orchestrator to add some extra flair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
