Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 http://makingstarwars.net/2015/05/john-williams-to-record-some-of-the-star-wars-the-force-awakens-score-next-month/I have been asked not to name any specific names yet of the players. However, there will be some guest musicians from other orchestras flown in to sit in on the sessions. Many musicians have been put on call for recording future teasers but now some of those musicians are learning that they are actually going to be playing on the film’s soundtrack recording.Perhaps they'll utilize some London Symphony players like they did with Harry Potter 1 & 3...I wonder if any of it will be used in any upcoming trailers.

Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted May 26, 2015 Author Share Posted May 26, 2015 Pretty much, all of his rumors about the film have been proven true. I'd still take this news with a grain of salt though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crumbs 14,313 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Great news and had an inkling this would happen. Williams has enough clout to get the people he wants, even if it's through some back door shenanigans.Kennedy would've gotten it sorted in quick order.

Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Don Williams will be allowed in the room only, to help the LSO timpanist with his mallets. That way he can focus on his versatility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InTheCity 140 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I know one horn player "Detroit Dave" is frequently flown in to big LA sessions because he sounds like a beast.Rick Todd sometimes flies in from Miami to play horn for sessions. Don't know much else about the rumor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
