#905670 JJ Abrams and John Williams confirm Williams will score Star Wars Episode 7

Posted by indy4 on Yesterday, 07:47 PM

As posted on hte main page: "

"We've certainly talked about that, and I'm happy and willing to do it," he confirms. "J.J. Abrams, who will be the director, seems excited about the idea. I have to say that J.J. is a much younger man than I, but I will try to keep up with him as much as I can!"

I'm loving this translated version: "Steven: a loyal man, a considerate lover." :lol:

I think it was waaaay more funny with the bad musicians.  I cracked up.

Hi everyone,

 

I wrote an analysis of the score for JP that can now be viewed at FSM Online.  Hope you enjoy!



Also a Lincoln analysis in the February edition




#892050 Jurassic Park 20th Anniversary OST (Digital only release)

I think we should support this financially.  Maybe when TLW is rereleased we'll get another digital expansion, but only if this one sells.




#890105 JW discusses Nixon

Posted by indy4 on 15 March 2013 - 01:23 AM

This is one of JW's best interviews, I think.  It's rare that he goes so in depth about a score (ie mentions the effect of the electronics referencing bombs in Cambodia).  I wish he did this type of thing for more scores, and for longer periods of time.  Thanks for posting!




#877398 JW's Oscar prospects

Posted by indy4 on 15 January 2013 - 03:13 AM

The Social Network was a thief in the night. It should never have even been nominated. How to Train Your Dragon should have run away with it that year.

A thief in the night?  Maybe Les Mis should have won best score. ;)


#871307 Unusual instruments you wish more film scores used...

Posted by indy4 on 27 December 2012 - 05:49 AM

I'd like to hear more prominent but accompaniement piano parts, like in Snowy's theme.  I love a solo piano, but I feel a lot of times people forget that it can be very effective in supporting or interacting with other sections of the orchestra.

Little did our heroes know that as they celebrated their reunion a young, moustache-rich man was planning his journey to earth and his ascension to power in a country known as "Germany."


#862252 What Is The Last Score You Listened To?

Posted by indy4 on 24 November 2012 - 02:11 AM

Did I mention I love the use of Dies Irae in this score? Clever, Mr. Williams, very clever. But I didn't know that before reading the liner notes.

Probably one of my favorite uses.  I especially like how after the church scene Williams incorporates Carol of the Bells into "Setting the Trap."  Its use has so much more meaning than I originally thought.

#860426 That moment when you're watching Lincoln...

Posted by indy4 on 18 November 2012 - 11:21 PM

Actually, that is pretty interesting.  I always think of Lincoln and the Civil War as ancient history, but it's really not that far away.


#860046 Raiders of the Lost Ark - Orchestral Tuning

Posted by indy4 on 17 November 2012 - 09:44 PM

I thought European orchestras tune to 444, to adjust to the vibraphone?  And Raiders was recorded with the LSO.
