I didn't have to look far for this one. Williams' soporific score for the Map Room scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark unfailingly has me yawning by its second bar. The poverty of imagination in it is amply demonstrated by its insistence on repeating the same few phrases over and over and over again, all the while trying to disguise the thematic repetitiveness by the well-known technique of getting louder each time. It didn't work for Ravel, and it certainly doesn't work for Williams. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFmoVfi9ie4

The Awards EBook http://www.warnerbros2013.com/TheHobbitAwardsBook2013/ Under the editing section, it has four videos of the Barrel Chase: Final, Final Ungraded, Rough Cut and Previs. The Rough cut has the sound mix (no music) of the video, and when lined up against the full audio, you can phase invert the sound effects into a reduced or removed form.

Wouldn't that be more grating than boring?

I'll do that right now. Will make a titanic effort to do this, even if I have to create a pocket universe where time flows independently of our own.

Jurassic Park is so full of these beautiful incidental melodies that trump most composers' main themes. Remembering Petticoat Lane is one of those masterful effortless pieces that conveys so many things at once. Plus it is extremely haunting as well. Indeed. Especially 1:51-2:16 (the bit that's tracked into the scene where Hammond stares one last time into the island before getting in the helicopter). Probably my favourite 15 seconds of the entire score.

Agreed. But this is a great piece!

Just keep the pencil moving! I demand KK to disqualify anyone daring to use programmes with coloured bars in them to compose for this competition. Notes, black dots on white sheet music, that's the way to go!

Not to be outdone without a "fight"...

If you're gonna do this, at least do it properly!
