#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Giacchino's contributions to this film franchise are the worst indeed, save for Rosenman's equally terrible The Voyage Home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 There's something about Rosenman's orchestrations and arrangements that actively turn my off. Such ugly music. His Robocop 2 theme is really only listen-able as an ultimate guilty pleasure, or under the influence of something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such ugly music. I'm afraid I agree with you. Other than Fantastic Voyage, I can't get into much of it. It's overwhelming, like eating bags and bags of candy. It's just not really my brand of complexity/dissonance. Rare that I actively am put off by someone's music, but Rosenman is for the most part on that short list.

Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 In the sequels, it's almost always when Davis is accompanied that the music shines. On his own, it seems like they didn't want him to have quite as strong a personality as on the first film, particularly when you look at his solo cues that were replaced like the original Burly Brawl, which is fucking boss. It gets a bit too generic blockbuster/quasi-Horner for me but there are better moments. Sharkissimo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brónach 1,302 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I don't know if it just me making silly associations, but there are cues that sound as if somebody told Don Davis to make it sound like LOTR. There's also the totally badass mix between the "Matrix sound" and pirate-like music in his Chateau fight cue. I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a Rosenman obsessive (Robocop 2, City in Fear and Hell is for Heroes miss the mark) but generally his sound, his orchestrations, his intervocalic inclinations, appeal to me. I can't really describe it any more than Grey can for his love of Soule or Eno. I guess it's an intangible quality that connects to me through a combination of sheer audacity and a emotional gamut. Fantastic Voyage was the gateway drug, for sure. I can see why it turns some off. This ain't "spherical" music. Wedge-shaped, maybe...

Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I have to be fair though and say that some chatter about the man himself might kind of leave a bad taste in my mouth - wasn't he said to be a bit difficult? This is also what absolutely damns guys like Babbitt and Wuorinen in my mind. Really kind of unpleasant people, enough to make me entirely disinterested in their music. Though they're much more extreme examples. And to be even more fair, this sort of persona-coloring also sometimes leaves me a little cold to the aforementioned Soule's music, but he's just more odd than unpleasant.

Sharkissimo 1,973 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 On the surface, Rosenman like Herrmann was quite a gruff character. Both were Brooklynites, with egos, and from what I've read they suffered inferiority complexes, perhaps believing their film music tarnished their reputation in the concert hall. So putting down rival composers was a defence mechanism in sorts. Despite that, from interviews he comes across as warm and avuncular. Very unlike what I expected. This radio interview from 1989 on KPFA is a gem. Not crazy about all of the concert works featured, but I do like Foci I. https://archive.org/details/MC_1989_06_03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Herrmann's gruffness seemed to have been of the variety that I can abide - that is, not totally genuine, and not coexisting with an atrophied sense of humor. Maybe that's the case with Rosenman as well. And listening to that interview, it seems that is in fact the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkissimo 1,973 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Great that he thought so highly of Williams. He even speaks up in defence of minimalism later when the interviewer gets a little over fawning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Hilary Bray 235 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 having listened to them the other way round, the final track of Fantastic Voyage sounds quite similar to parts of "Home Again" from Star Trek IV (having long knackered my Trek IV CD long before I even sought out Fantastic Voyage's OST). I don't mind Rosenman as such (his Apes' score for one) but Robocop 2 doesn't seem to suit unfortunately. -- In light of finishing the book, Lalo Schifrin's "The Eagle Has Landed". Great theme though the romantic parts don't always do much and the score can feel repetitive but then I used to listen to this a lot so it all sort of collided as one whole track.
