You do know though of the filmed stage musical, which will be released theatrically?

Ridley Scott's NAPOLEON (Martin Phipps, 2023)
filmmusic replied to Thor's topic in General Discussion
So, let's say Amadeus, which isn't historically accurate, is a bad film? -
Ah, a facebook friend posted this in a group I'm in (soundtracks) and I thought it was legitimate. I didn't double check. Oh well. I'm not a fan of live action remakes anyway.

James Horner's BATTLE BEYOND THE STARS (1980) - 2023 2-CD Intrada
filmmusic replied to Jay's topic in General Discussion
You have this one, right? https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Battle-Beyond-the-Stars-Blu-ray/287574/ I was thinking of getting it myself. -
A facebook friend sent me this: https://www.wisemusicclassical.com/catalogue/works/?composer=["Franz+Waxman"]&yearComposed=[0%2C2024]&fbclid=IwAR0QEY2okaWyac5jbgbeTs45joUqygiFwd9PzgoR8KW1WHZyUwLccsJD0mY&results=1 You can find many Waxman suites in their full score presentation! I think it's very useful. I am not sure about other composers, but here's a Jarre one too: https://www.wisemusicclassical.com/work/59674/Lawrence-of-Arabia-Suite--Maurice-Jarre/ If you search maybe you can find others too.

I remember when Trevor Jones came to Athens, someone (or it was him?) said that he was asked to write a Last of the Mohicans kind of theme for Cliffhanger, and that's why the theme reminds it a bit (in its beginning). I enjoy the movie very much. I don't remember anything of the score, apart from the theme.

Well, I assume most people don't know him because he was a Greek actor, but Spiros Focas died today at the age of 86. He had a kind of international career, with most notable roles in Rocco and his Brothers, The Jewel of the Nile, and Rambo III.

thanks @Presto. That is indeed a great deal! But I'm concerned about this musio thing. Is it easy to use? I have got used to Kontakt. edit: Hmmm.. I found this video:

James Horner's BATTLE BEYOND THE STARS (1980) - 2023 2-CD Intrada
filmmusic replied to Jay's topic in General Discussion
Yes. It's not good, but I'm a sucker for 80s sci-fi, especially with such good score. -
What cinesamples libraries does it include? I don't see it. I see only 4 libraries. And what is musio? Is it like Kontakt player?

What Is The Last Score You Listened To? (older scores)
filmmusic replied to Ollie's topic in General Discussion
Do you mean the "sexiest"? What about BASIC INSTINCT? -
I didn't understand a thing. The Rare Breed is not in the works, but Lerouge said it is?

Another anime film that looks interesting to me:
-
Ah, right. Doesn't matter. Again the music acts as counterpoint to the picture. I wonder if there is any score that doesn't. I was thinking of following this path too.
-
Hmmm.. I don't remember, but I remember the score. It was one of the first soundtracks I've ever heard, since they had an LP of it at my father's work (he worked at a radio station). I don't think it is something I'm after. I remember it is a very weird score.. (and especially when I got to know Horner and what he does. It doesn't seem to be written by the same composer)

What Is The Last Score You Listened To? (older scores)
filmmusic replied to Ollie's topic in General Discussion
Lately I discovered Marco Frisina. Apparently he writes scores for religious-themes films. The scores are great, but I cannot pinpoint any recurring characteristic themes. Of course, someone may not see this as a drawback, but I'm more or a thematic kind of guy. Even in atonal music. -
Do we have any Christian (or otherwise) torture scene? Apart from The Passion of Christ where the music score acts as counterpoint (meaning it is the exact opposite of the visuals), I cannot think of something...
-
I wonder if The Rare Breed that has been mentioned, would be Black Friday material.

Soundtrack Collection DIGITIZE!
filmmusic replied to #SnowyVernalSpringsEternal's topic in General Discussion
Bumping this old thread, because I was thinking of starting a similar thread. Have you digitized your collection? I find myself getting bored going to fetch my cd and putting it in my blu-ray drive, and I'm searching for the music in youtube instead. I want to digitize at least my John Williams collection, but I find it involves a lot of work... -
A friend suggested this, that it is his favorite 2023 soundtrack, and resembles John Williams stuff and he was right:
-
Oh, you're so kind, thank you very much for your offer but I don't want to put you in trouble. I'll make up something.
-
Thanks. I was wondering, what sweetener means? I have seen it in other scores too, mainly John Williams's.
-
Thank you for the suggestions, but I don't want to use snare drums. I think they're from another era. I'm talking about 400 AD and entering in a Colosseum-like arena. Something that would fit the Gladiator movie for example. @Thor I will listen to some of the examples, I don't remember them right now. Pity about those brass fanfares of mine, I loved them... Funny you should mention about timpani rolls, I was thinking of using them. (more like taiko-drums roll. I know they are out of place, but I really like the sound).
-
Does anyone have in mind by any chance a percussion-only source cue? I want to write one for an entering the arena scene. (I wrote a couple of brass fanfares but apparently they are not needed)
