  1. Thank you for the information. Yes, there was nothing recorded for Zorro after that date. The last day of mixing is June 27. I'll get back to you on The New World later.
  2. @Jim Ware Yes, that's right. And the Todd-AO Scoring Stage was also booked in October for All the King's Men. Then the film was postponed for 9 months.
  3. Thank you for your messages. I love talking about this project. Yes, I have all the dates of the recording sessions. But why do you want them? Well, I'll give you the month: June 2005. I understand your comment about Patton. Earlier in the book, in a section devoted to Jerry Goldsmith and his influence, there's a quote from James Horner who says he thinks Patton is great. The index at the end of the book will make it easy to find all the occurrences. Yes, I'm in contact with him. Thank you.
  4. Some of you have had time to download and read the free excerpts? If so, let me know what you think! Your opinion means a lot to me.
  5. @Jay Thank you for sharing the information here. I invite you to discover the website, sign up to be notified when the first volume is released and download the free excerpts, which I hope you'll enjoy.
  6. I hear it in Sneakers (1992) in the track Playtronics Break-in (2:12).
  7. He even had two brothers! And their mother is still alive. She sent me an email a few weeks ago that was very moving.
  8. @karelm James Horner's brother mentioned Classical Annex of Tower Records, but he wasn't sure because it wasn't very long. Please tell your friends to contact me. It's not too late to include their testimony. There's an online form on this page http://jameshorner-filmmusic.com/important-james-horner-missing-pieces-and-a-book/ or by e-mail.
  9. I'm going to dig out an old infographic I made a few years ago for a meeting with the project's patrons. One decade = one volume The number of projects is decreasing, but the number of pages is almost identical for each volume. Why is this? Because the more time passes, the more information is available... And also, part of volume 4 is devoted to independent chapters: the man and his passions, the 1046 appearances of the 4 notes...
  10. It will be the same title for all 4 volumes. From the outset of the project, I had imagined a single object, but I finally decided to divide it up when I saw the number of pages. The first volume is 430 pages long.
  11. Yes, it's the project of a lifetime. I can't wait to share all this work. As for this first volume, I'm particularly proud of the work on James Horner's youth. What takes 6 lines on Wikipedia makes 20 pages in the book, thanks to the memories of his brother and his high school music teacher. And I've got about 30 pages on his university career.
  12. Hey guys, Thank you very much for your interest in the articles and I'm really touched that some people are asking for them. There are several reasons why the detailed analyses have been discontinued: The organization of the concert in May 2022 that was broadcast worldwide on YouTube, the one with Spectral Shimmers and A Forest Passage, was a culmination for JHFM. It was the result of 4 years' work. Often after this kind of event, there's a bit of a lull. Life offers us so much to discover. Over the years, part of the team has moved on to other occupations, passions... Personally, I've been working on the book since March 2018. Ever since I met the composer's family and visited his studio. All my free time for almost 6 years has gone into this project. It's my main objective and so I've given up writing articles for the site. We liked to publish these articles exclusively, i.e. before you received the albums. To do this, you had to be warned of the releases and receive the albums in advance (or else write the article at top speed in 48 hours, but that's not ideal). Today, only one publisher allows us to do this, and asks me to check the content before publication. I do this with pleasure and rigor, but the above-mentioned factors (lack of time, priority given to the book, small team of volunteers) prevent me from writing new articles. The book will be 1600 pages long, divided into 4 volumes. The first volume is scheduled for early 2024. Its aim is to bring together all known information on the composer's work. It's quite a challenge. Probably impossible, but we're giving it our best shot. As for the podcast... it was planned, but once again the lack of time, of available people... prevented it from happening. I hope that the release of the books will be the occasion for several podcasts.
  13. @Edmilson Sorry for the confusion. I didn't specify that the color bars don't indicate the recordings but the whole process : spotting sessions / composition / recording / mixing. It was just a schematic to show how 1998 was organized and how busy it was. I did this many years ago now and so I shared this without studying it deeply again.
