Jay 42,493 Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Beat me to it I'm no musical expert, but that's some kind of deconstruction of The Imperial March, right?(Thread title is mine, apologies to Karol if you want something else)
Balahkay 629 Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 That sounds like Williams to me. But was this music written specifically for a teaser or an edited piece from a longer cue written for the film?
Cerebral Cortex 3,362 Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 I'm thinking it's an edited piece from a longer cue.It definitely sounds like it is meant to make you think of The Imperial March. I really rather like it. Even if it is rather brief, I'll take it all the same!
Jay 42,493 Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Woah! The thumbnail on the youtube video has changed to something really strange!
Muad'Dib 1,946 Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Is it just me of does it sound a bit synthy?
Maurizio 5,893 Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Word on the street is that a new trailer will debut on September 4 (aka "Force Friday"), so maybe this is a snippet from that...
Balahkay 629 Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Abrams specifically said the trailer would debut in fall, so I'd be surprised if it was shown next week based on his statement since Fall technically begins September 23. I would love to be wrong, though. This could still be a snippet of the actual trailer.
Jay 42,493 Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Anyone?I'm no musical expert, but that's some kind of deconstruction of The Imperial March, right?
Loert 2,952 Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Yeah, it sounds like a slowed down, fragmented version of the Imperial March.Dammit!

Code 000. Destruct. 0. 4,261 Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Anyone?I'm no musical expert, but that's some kind of deconstruction of The Imperial March, right?Yes.
Quintus 5,721 Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 There's not enough here to discern much in the way of Star Wars scoring greatness so let's not start sucking each others dicks just yet.
KK 3,310 Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Beat me to it I'm no musical expert, but that's some kind of deconstruction of The Imperial March, right?Yeah, it's a play on the classic opening chords of the Imperial March.Whoever wrote it, the music was probably processed and amplified accordingly to sound more trailer-ish.
Code 000. Destruct. 0. 4,261 Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 There's not enough here to discern much in the way of Star Wars scoring greatness so let's not start sucking each others dicks just yet.But eventually, right?
Not Mr. Big 4,818 Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Hard to tell if it's Williams. Sounds a bit like GIacchino to be honest.
Jilal 628 Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Thinking it's not Williams with the music later turning out to effectively have been written by Williams will bring you in a fairly embarrassed state (as will thinking it is when it turns out not to be), whereas thinking it either isn't or is Williams when it isn't or is indeed will make you seem all the more clever in either spotting the supposedly low quality work of a trailer composer or Williams's high quality work.The odds are so unsympathetic the music isn't even worth thinking about.
Balahkay 629 Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Is it a coincidence that it sounds like the Imperial March? If it's not from Williams, where did the music come from?
Romão 2,428 Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Word on the street is that a new trailer will debut on September 4 (aka "Force Friday"), so maybe this is a snippet from that...Somehow, I don't think that's the case. I don't expect them to reuse shots from previous trailers
Not Mr. Big 4,818 Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 I've changed my mind. It sounds like Williams.
KK 3,310 Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Is it a coincidence that it sounds like the Imperial March? If it's not from Williams, where did the music come from?It's no coincidence. The reference is clearly intentional. And this is original music, just a matter of who wrote it.
Loert 2,952 Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 It's been confirmed: Steve Jablonsky wrote the music.
Not Mr. Big 4,818 Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 It's been confirmed: Steve Jablonsky wrote the music.I'm having flashbacks to 2007 So how do out more musically knowledgeable members weigh in on the new music's validity?
Alex 2,939 Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 This is a William Ross adaptation of the Imperial March Bespin Copilot and Sharkissimo 2
Bespin Copilot 9,633 Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 BAM BAM BAMMMM.... BAM-BAM BAM-BAM BAMMMMMWow! Wonderful! Marvellous!
Not Mr. Big 4,818 Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 BAM BAM BAMMMM.... BAM-BAM BAM-BAM BAMMMMMWow! Wonderful! Marvellous! Yeah, those Bamms are suspiciously un-Williams.
Muad'Dib 1,946 Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 It might be Williams, but it's kinda like the other trailers where they added a lot of trailer-type shit to make it sound more "oomph" I guess.My vocabulary is so fucking extense. Bespin Copilot 1
Not Mr. Big 4,818 Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 I think the BAM-BAM BAM-BAM BAMMMMM at the end might be stitched from another cue (should this even be Williams of course)
nightscape94 967 Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 Shame the sound quality sucks so bad. Despite that, it's quite obviously supposed to make you think of the Imperial March. There's so little of it that it's difficult to say much else beyond that.
Code 000. Destruct. 0. 4,261 Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 So I shouldn't post my effusively poetic 6500-word reaction/analysis?
KK 3,310 Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 Does it include the extensive thematic breakdown, with timestamps down to the millisecond?
Director of Poltergeist 8,127 Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 I wouldn't rule out Williams, but I didn't get off on it. Sounds like it's part of a longer piece of music.
Not Mr. Big 4,818 Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 Perhaps it comes at the end of the First Order March. Like the quote at the end of Anakin's Theme. crumbs 1
crumbs 15,516 Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 Sounds like a synth mockup to me. Disney may have commissioned a trailer music house to create some stock Star Wars-ian generic trailer music for their never-ending upcoming slate of Star Wars movies. Or Williams has deconstructed the Imperial March for the First Order theme, which makes all kinds of sense and is the kind of thing Abrams would probably request.
Not Mr. Big 4,818 Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 I'm honestly sort of hoping that it's not Williams' music. It's fine but it's definitely lacking that special "John Williams signature sound"
Code 000. Destruct. 0. 4,261 Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 Does it include the extensive thematic breakdown, with timestamps down to the millisecond?Only to the second. It's shit I guess.
Not Mr. Big 4,818 Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 So I shouldn't post my effusively poetic 6500-word reaction/analysis?Wow. There's a lot more depth to Jablonsky's music than I thought.
mrbellamy 7,329 Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 Does it include the extensive thematic breakdown, with timestamps down to the millisecond?Only to the second. It's shit I guess.You may need to go deeper.
crocodile 9,211 Posted August 28, 2015 Author Posted August 28, 2015 Abrams specifically said the trailer would debut in fall, so I'd be surprised if it was shown next week based on his statement since Fall technically begins September 23. I would love to be wrong, though. This could still be a snippet of the actual trailer.Well, summer doesn't start till the end of June and yet May releases count as summer ones. Karol
Not Mr. Big 4,818 Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 Anthony Breznican said on twitter that there will be no trailer tomorrow or next week. It's expected to hit sometime in "late fall", going as far back as November.
Mr_K 6 Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 BRIDGE OF SPIES is being distributed in USA by Disney (Oct. 16). I'll bet Official Trailer 1 is on it. Trailer 2 will probably be on GOOD DINOSAUR.
mrbellamy 7,329 Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 Crimson Peak is also being released in IMAX on the same day as Bridge of Spies so it would make a lot of sense to put out a trailer that weekend for both those reasons.
Loert 2,952 Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 Those horns playing the D right at the beginning sound like they're playing at full volume but they've been mixed down so they can be barely heard. It sounds sickeningly inspired by the "epic horns" trope. I think those horns also play a trill between A-Bb just before the end, which for some reason doesn't sound very "Williams" although it could just be me. Tbh that whole thing with the lightsabers turning on in time with the music came across a bit kitsch...I think it's either:a very well-made adaptation by a talented musicianor:John Williams on a bad day.
