Miguel Andrade 1,262 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Not a song, but anyway... if memory serves, mostly woodwinds and brass, with some synth effects applied to give the other-worldish feel to it. curlytoot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidelange832 0 Posted March 19, 2017 Author Share Posted March 19, 2017 It's Track 10 Disk 2 from the John Williams & Steven Spielberg Ultimate Collection. need to know the exact instruments... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Andrade 1,262 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I thought you ment the original version from the film score. The one on the "Williams on Williams" album sounds like it has a lot of synths. I have to honestly say that it's the one track I usually skip. A really rare thing for me on any Williams album. So I'm not the best person to tell you what was used on that one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jay 37,314 Posted March 19, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 19, 2017 Welcome to the board, @davidelange832! Please note that we don't refer to film music compositions as "songs"; They are tracks or cues or pieces or compositions. And I'm afraid I don't know the answer to your question. curlytoot, bollemanneke and Ricard 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Naïve Old Fart 9,505 Posted March 20, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 20, 2017 This is really getting on my tits. "Not song" this, "not song" that. Who the hell cares? The guy joined 11 hours ago, so can we cut him some slack, for f**k's sake? What are we, the song police?! Cues are often referred to a songs. We should be celebrating a new member, not criticizing them right out of the gate. As to what synthesizer it is; find out when it was recorded (1991?) then research what synths were popular, back then (DX7, maybe?). curlytoot, Not Mr. Big, Bryant Burnette and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,713 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I suspect the concert version uses synthesizers quite extensively in lieu of regular woodwinds. If I remember correctly the original film version also employed prepared car horns (those old ones squeezed by hand), synths and woodwinds.

Remember the scene in the film when we hear the sadhus 'singing' in the Dharamsala scene in CE3K. I see The Conversation is actually a 'duet' between the aliens and humans, curlytoot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Bryant Burnette 654 Posted March 20, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 20, 2017 Even if it isn't a song, there's a better way of pointing it out than the way it typically gets done around here.

Naïve Old Fart 9,505 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Perhaps we should have a BITCH THREAD, where all our frustrations are taken out on posts and posters, exclusively, and have only nice comments on the rest of the threads?

Also those car horns as JW himself says in the Collector's Edition interview. They recorded them at different pitches and added them in.

Naïve Old Fart 9,505 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I agree. ROXANNE's not bad, but INVISIBLE SUN, MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE, WHEN THE WORLD IS RUNNING DOWN (you make the best of what's still around), SYNCHRONICITY II, and THE OTHER WAY OF STOPPING are all better. Heck, I even like MISS GRADENKO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
