When you look for Cast and Crew of Tintin and scroll down you already find a short Music Department list:
http://www.imdb.com/...ullcredits#cast
Odd thing is that it states a guy named Alejandro de la Llosa as orchestrator alongside Conrad Pope.
If you look further at his credits it seems that he is orchestrating a lot for Remote Control composers like Zimmer!
I do not hope that Spielberg wants the Zimmer-sound for Johnnys score

Yes and it is very true. And I am sure an orchestrator can't stamp his own sound on the music even if he wants to. I can imagine that any composer would raise an eye brow if suddenly his action music would have all unisono horns and thick soup of bass drones instead of the woodwinds he wanted and wrote there originally. And that orchestrator would be pretty soon on the street looking for another job.Don't worry KM.
The orchestrators for John Williams only ever do copyist work, and they have never had any impact on how a Williams score sounds.
that's what we have been told time and time again.
Btw the guys has also orchestrated for Howard Shore. Not a merit to some of us but I think it is sure a lot more comforting than POTC 4 in the credit list.
Ars superior est vita hominum.
"We pop out and come into the world and music is there. We didn't invent it - it's all organised in the atmosphere by divinity or whatever. It's a miracle." - John Williams-
I think music is a stream of some kind. It could be blood. It could be water. It could be ether. Whatever it is it seems to be a living, organic force that’s in motion, that serves humanity and is part of humanity and part of what describes us as humans. We sing, play, dance, all the things that we do. And there is a vibrant and great literature we have been given. ... As musicians, we join the stream. We swim in the stream with all the other millions of music makers. It’s a life force, a strong one, surrounding us and we are part of it. -John Williams-

I am sure Williams is the last to sound like those clones at RC!!! He'll battle them with xylophone and flutes...

Perhaps those at imdb made a mistake.

I have sadly noticed that IMDB is an unreliable source at best, always needing corroborating evidence from other sources. I know it is a huge site with so much information but they should try to keep it as accurate as possible.

Yes it is more of a curiosity of why wouldn't JW hire his usual suspects. Could be any number of reasons, mostly that there could be conflicting schedules and I do not know if John Neufeld still works as his credits at IMDB end with Terminal in 2004.
I also guess this has something to do with scheduling conflicts. I mean, Pope probably wasn't available ALL the time over the last two(???) years JW was writing/changing the music. After all Pope was also busy orchestrating for Desplat and writing his own scores... and Karam was working on War Horse and as you said Neufeld most likely has retired.

Hey guys, found something over at imdb.

People, don't get paranoid over this kind of things. Orchestrators are guns-for-hire, they only do what they're requested for. It's likely that Alejandro de la Llosa is part of the team of people who generally work with Conrad Pope (who himself has orchestrated also for RC's people).
Tintin will be a John Williams' score from beginning to the end, don't worry.
"Let me say, however, there is no "next" John Williams. Sadly, he is unique--- a figure who simultaneously embodies and transcends the music of all the masters of film music who preceded him (much like Brahms and Wagner of the Romantic era). He comes from a time when the craft of music in film was still one of the ear, heart and mind. Today, sadly, the craft is largely technical. Most composers do not conceive their music "inwardly" but rather at the computer--- and with rather limited skills, musically, at that. The inner spirit knows no boundaries--- our plastic abilities, sadly, do. John is a man of spirit, heart, intellect and soaring music." -- Conrad Pope about John Williams

Two orchestrators are credited, but Alejandro de la Llosa probably only did a short source music.
I couldn't care less. It's not like it says all of a sudden "Music Composed and Conducted by John Williams and Alejandro de la Llosa."

That was Gustavo Dudamel.

Aaahh, I see... Well, we could always ask Conrad Pope about this new guy. Maybe Williams likes his work and decided to give him a shot, who knows?

Obviously John Williams is employing South Americans because they will work for next too nothing and clean his pool...

Steef is known as a racist. Don't worry.
On a Tintin subject it is less than a month to the soundtrack release in Europe and still no information. Sony is really keeping this under their hat. No track list or anything has appeared.
Track listings of soundtracks are released approximately 2-3 weeks before the release of the CD, aren't they?

Some do, some don't.
But generally, I would think that, if somebody admires an artist very much (regardless of whether it's a film composer or pop singer or rock artist or boy band, etc.), they buy their official releases. Just to support them.

I think film music fans are truly a very special group among music fans. I have never encountered such industry, such attention to detail and minutiae than among us. We talk of milliseconds, crossfades, alternates, self-done edits etc. which is something I believe you don't encounter very much anywhere else in music fandom. This music by its nature welcomes besides the normal interest to hear good music a certain kind of obsessive interest that comes to fans who follow both film and music media. It is almost like half of the fun to some of us, the cataloguing of small details and making sure every second of music is on the release and worrying about it more than enjoying the music itself.It's not us against the rest of the world, you know.
Some do, some don't.

And of course people want to support their favourite artists. I do not mean that we do not get e..g. Tintin CD when it comes out. I plan to get it ASAP. I meant that it would be interesting to know how much more film music fans traffic with "internet provided" materials compared to others.

But again, I am a film music fan too and I generally don't, and I don't think I am an exception. I just want to have every official JW release, and a few good unreleased cues as well, when they come my way.
