But anyway, I can't believe it's only another month till we get a new JW album! Boy, I hope time passes quickly.

Hey guys, found something over at imdb.
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 ;)

Williams could not sound like Zimmer even if he wanted too, even if they put a gun to his head!

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.

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.

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-

As I said this is very odd. When you look back the last ten years Williams always approached Conrad Pope, Eddie Karam or John Neufeld. Perhaps those at imdb made a mistake.
I am sure Williams is the last to sound like those clones at RC!!! He'll battle them with xylophone and flutes... :)

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 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.

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.

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.
"It's still baffling to me. I sit down with a pencil and a piece of paper and do my best... The remarkable thing is that my music is heard by billions of people." --John Williams

"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

POTC The Curse Of The Black Pearl was orchestrated by Conrad Pope ;), if I'm not wrong.

From a storytelling point of view, from a directing point of view, there is one thing I associate with what he does, which is calm. There is such an inherent calm and inherent trust of the one powerful image, that he makes me embarrassed with my own work, in terms of how many different shots, how many different sound effects, how many different things we’ll throw at an audience to make an impression. But with Kubrick, there is such a great trust of the one correct image to calmly explain something to audience. There can be some slowness to the editing. There’s nothing frenetic about it. It’s very simple. There’s a trust in simple storytelling and simple image making that actually takes massive confidence to try and emulate. - Christopher Nolan

Dear God. Some of you guys are really overthinking this.

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." ;)

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.

I do wonder if people who listen to "regular" music use the less than legal means of getting the album of their favourite artist before the release in their country? Or is it just us, the compulsive, the obsessive and the mad.

It's not us against the rest of the world, you know.

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.

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.

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-

Many fans (though not all, by means) of classical music and operas also pay attention to the smallest details and minutiae...

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.

It's because, generally, when they release an opera, a symphony, or a regular music band album, it won't have left out tracks or micro-edited the music. Back when Casino Royale was released, I had hoped that more soundtracks would follow suit - release an album, edited for listening experience, and release the rest of the tracks digitally. But no.
