#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,077 Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 It's a Star Trek model, you know, the ones you need to flip open. Very passé!Naturally! Williams has no interest in the latest technologies.
Director of Poltergeist 8,220 Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 It's a Star Trek model, you know, the ones you need to flip open. Very passé!Enterprise, this is Williams. We have...new works for solo piano.
Thor 9,312 Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 He, he....it's the phone that his wife Samantha forces him to have, in case of old-age emergencies. Cute.
Koray Savas 2,256 Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 Isn't there a picture of him holding an iPhone somewhere with Lucas and Spielberg?
Code 000. Destruct. 0. 4,261 Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 If he was with Lucas, it was probably just added in later with CGI.
mrbellamy 7,455 Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 Isn't there a picture of him holding an iPhone somewhere with Lucas and Spielberg?This one?
Director of Poltergeist 8,220 Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 That's when Spielberg and Lucas introduced Williams to JWFan. Bespin Copilot 1
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,077 Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 See JW looking surprised at that newfangled technology! WilliamsStarShip2282 and Ricard 2
Code 000. Destruct. 0. 4,261 Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Hmm...sounds like the Newman piece, yeah?
A24 4,858 Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Fantastic! Thanks, Koray!Yes, the music playing sounds like something Newman would write. I hear rag-time influences.
Score 775 Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Hmm... sounds like the Newman piece, yeah?Fantastic! Thanks, Koray!Yes, the music playing sounds like something Newman would write. I hear rag-time influences.The first piece is by Broughton (up to about 1:20), the second piece is by Newman (see the credits at the end, appearing at 3:03).
A24 4,858 Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 A blind buy, anyway. I'm curious to hear flutist Desplat's piano writing.
Thor 9,312 Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Yes, indeed. Blind buy. But I'm almost looking equally much forward to the full documentary.
Jay 43,067 Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Finally watched the video. Very excited to own this CD now!
Incanus 5,858 Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Not a blind buy at all! A surefire buy but it is JW, Desplat and the rest we are talking about after all!
Code 000. Destruct. 0. 4,261 Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 I confess I'm not particularly interested in either the Broughton or Newman pieces, particularly after hearing those excerpts, fine as they are, though not my thing. Giacchino I could go either way with. He's the wildcard.
A24 4,858 Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 I don't know what people are expecting but, given the nature of the project, I bet none of the composers will go for obvious romantic piano or film moods or (Gymnopédie, The Piano, et cetera).
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,077 Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 any Vivaldi? WilliamsStarShip2282 1
Incanus 5,858 Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 I don't know what people are expecting but, given the nature of the project, I bet none of the composers will go for obvious romantic piano or film moods or (Gymnopédie, The Piano, et cetera).I expect everything and anything!

Blah I hope not. That's possibly the most boring sort of music: quasi "classical" piano. Though if someone channels Satie I'm all for it.
indy4 159 Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 For those planning on going to the concert--one of the shows has already sold out, but there are some limited tickets available for the other show!https://www.facebook.com/MontageFilmComposers/photos/a.311226809044672.1073741828.308140492686637/403618286472190/?type=1¬if_t=like
Code 000. Destruct. 0. 4,261 Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Whoa, didn't realize that was happening. Thanks for posting.
KK 3,310 Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Very exciting! Especially interested in Williams' and Davis' pieces.
Thor 9,312 Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 I thought the concert was last year! Seems like they've put up another because of the CD. I assume the composers are not present this time (at least not all of them, and not Williams). If I lived close to Boston, I would have gone.
Code 000. Destruct. 0. 4,261 Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 It's in LA, not Boston...so the composers could very well be present, except for Desplat probably.
indy4 159 Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Most, if not all of the composers will be there.
Thor 9,312 Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Ah, LA. I just glanced the venue, Boston Court, and quickly assumed it was Boston.
filmmusic 2,683 Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 What a feat! 3ft long, one measure movement from #JohnWilliams "Conversations" written and performed for #GloriaCheng in 2012. https://www.facebook.com/jkmslibrary/photos/a.10150658466000326.393754.62282245325/10152750476460326/?type=1&theater indy4 1
KK 3,310 Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 3 staves eh? Neat!Now quick, someone play it and record it!
Code 000. Destruct. 0. 4,261 Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 I'll see what I can do. Depends on the resolution of the photo.Never mind, way too small!
LaloCoyoacan 49 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 The iTunes version only includes 10 of the original 17 tracks. Odd!
nightscape94 967 Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 I'm really looking forward to hearing the jazz element of this work.
Code 000. Destruct. 0. 4,261 Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Aye I'm hoping for a nice companion piece to Heartwood.
Incanus 5,858 Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Anyone else receive their CD yet?If you have, report! Report!
Code 000. Destruct. 0. 4,261 Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Anyone else receive their CD yet?If you have, report! Report!
Koray Savas 2,256 Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Haven't really listened to any of JW's work outside the film industry so I'm probably not the best one to report anything.
Koray Savas 2,256 Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 It's certainly 'darker' than what I was expecting, considering all the jazz talk Williams does in the notes.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,077 Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Jazz can be dark Koray.
Hlao-roo 390 Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Jazz can be dark Koray.I don't know what elevators you've been riding in.
Koray Savas 2,256 Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Jazz can be dark Koray.Yeah, but we're talking about Johnny Williams.Fuck yes!!!!!Please don't let me get your hopes up. Not even sure if dark is an accurate way to describe it, hence the quotes.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,077 Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 CMIYC had some darker jazz stuff.
Code 000. Destruct. 0. 4,261 Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 There's no way I won't enjoy it, that just does sound like the direction I hoped for.
Hlao-roo 390 Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 There's no way I won't enjoy it, that just does sound like the direction I hoped for.You got this from 'darker'?
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,077 Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 He's a Nolan fan."Dark" is a trigger word. Jacck 1
Hlao-roo 390 Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 He's a Nolan fan."Dark" is a trigger word.Fair enough.
