BloodBoal 7,538 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I don't even need to listen to the video to know that the music isn't by Williams! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Mr. Big 4,621 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Speaking of BB8's theme, I think what I'll remember most about the SW:TFA hype was how many fake-outs and false alarms there were for new music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 14,271 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 The screaming goat is definitely Williams. Jacck and WilliamHorne97 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK 3,304 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Nope. This is not Williams. Move on folks.

What you posted above is a lot more sophisticated than what's playing underneath the clip. The EW video is just using fairly competent library music.

Incanus 5,713 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Yeah I detect a hint of Angela Morley in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcus 390 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Somehow, when only barely audible, it sounded convincingly orchestral. It also sounded more detailed; I guess my mind imagined more texture in the absence of discernible sound. Still, this is much more harmonically sophisticated than your usual trailer fare. Whoever wrote it has a good grasp of quirky prokofiev-isms. And even (some) williams-isms. The (implied) timbral choices are rather crafty. Then again, could there be details so obscured by the rather synthetic sound of what's left of the soundtrack with the dialogue removed, as to (again) give a false impression? crumbs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muad'Dib 1,800 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Seriously? It sounds absolutely nothing like a synth mock-up, that's clearly a real orchestra.The compression makes it sound more synthesised than it necessarily is. crumbs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricard 2,235 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Vocal removed and music volume increased.... the quality isn't good but you can hear the music better. It doesn't sound like Williams to me.https://soundcloud.com/user284573450/bb8Thematically it sounds like what Williams would write in 2015 for a ball-shaped droid.

Jay 37,042 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I dunno. Listening to the vocals removed version it sounds too cartoony to fit into the pg13 action film they're going for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLUMENKOHL 1,068 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Whatever it is, it sounds boring as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balahkay 627 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 It sounds like something written for one of those made for TV movies the Disney channel used to have back in the day. Also, I doubt the use of actual TFA music was in EW's budget. Much cheaper to find some random, cutesy library music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLUMENKOHL 1,068 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 That's now how promotion works. I (Disney) give you (EW) free shit to promote my movie (Star Wars). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balahkay 627 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I doubt Disney would even allow EW to use any music. Disney has been very hush, hush about the music aside from saying it's brilliant and complimenting Williams. In any case, this music is clearly not Williams. It seems the only sample we've gotten of his music was in that 20 second clip on AMAs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jilal 569 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Sounds Tintin-esque to some extent, but I wouldn't claim it sounds like Williams - the lack of detail could be very misleading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
