Watched The Others. Interesting it does not feature HDR at all.

The Criterion edition?

I'm waiting for comparison caps with the Studio Canal one, to decide which to get. (which has better encoding in essence)

[Soundtrack CD Poll]

Yeah, less that one too for me.

At this time, I only purchase John Williams scores.

But I buy a lot of Blu-rays/UHDs.

[The Orchestral Sample Library Thread]

I have Eduardo Tarilonte's Ancient Era Persia.

Does anyone know how you handle the release of a sample?

I mean there is a knob for the release on the sample itself, but how do you control this?

Oliver Stone has announced on his social media that Shout Studios will release JFK in December

I like that film. If it includes the theatrical cut, I'll buy it.

For the most part you could probably just use "Boys Choir Oos" and/or "Choir Women Oos" and add a bunch of reverb. Maybe pair it with "Whistling Choir", but I'm not entirely sure how that would sound.

I used eventually "Heaven's Shores" with the modwheel at 0.

It sounded to me closer...

[The Orchestral Sample Library Thread]

Does anyone know any synth specifically from Omnisphere that resembles the opening synth here?

Ok. I guess you said this as a compliment.

What do you mean by that? I'm not sure I understood.

And the Te Deum. In which the lyrics specifically referencing god are neither in major/minor but build on open chords on top of a fourth/fifth ostinato, and only for the rest of the lyrics does the music assume clear major/minor keys.

I'm not acquainted with Bruckner at all, but some symphonies I tried to listen long ago, they seemed too heavy stuff..

Rachmaninov's VESPERS?

Ok, I'll check it.

Lohengrin. 

Ah, yes, the prelude.

I had in mind the choral parts in Silvestri's The Abyss. Is there anything similar in classical music?

[The Classical Music Recommendation Thread]

Can anyone recommend any classical work (romanticism/post-romanticism/impressionism) which depicts (or makes subconscious associations with) God and otherworldliness with maybe mainly major chords?

Was it any symphony by Mahler? I'm not familiar with them except the 5th.

[What Is The Last Film You Watched? (Older Films)]

 

I don't know, I expected it to be better with a lot more suspense than it had.

And I found the Morricone score somewhat very intrusive in some scenes.

I'm glad you're going through the ARABIAN NIGHTS thingies, filmmusic. What did you think of the Folk effort?

I liked it.

Although he doesn't compose many memorable themes generally, he has nice textures and orchestration.

[What Is The Last Score You Listened To? (older scores)]

 

I had to turn it off in the middle (I think).

I usually don't do that, but organ music for 1 voice is not my thing really..

Didn't we previously hear that it would be out this past March?

Yeah, I won't believe it until I see it.

And I hope he hasn't tealed and degrained the film, like Terminator 2 UHD!

[What Is The Last Score You Listened To? (older scores)]

 

Complete mono score (cds 2 & 3) following with the sheet music.

Ok, I admit I didn't listen to the last 8-9 tracks because I was somewhat bored or tired..

This is a very demanding score, and I think there are too many notes () and too many dissonances.

If we compare it to let's say Ben-Hur, I vastly prefer the latter which is more precise and clearer in its melodies/harmonies.

[What musical element you don't like in film scores?]

Percussion loops.

I cannot stand them.

It reminds me of songs, which have a specific drum loop.

The outcome seems to me very poor, and show the inability of a composer to keep the interest of the listener with other means, like constantly changing music..

[Did you get the Dial of Destiny soundtrack on the CD format before it sold out?]

Mine has shipped on September 20th, but I don't see any progress in the tracking info.

It's been stuck on 9/20.

Yes, yes, "La Porte de Nesle" is a BATMAN ripoff due to temp track love,

I think Elfman sued in which he won?

It looks and sounds really good too on the 4K disc

I wanted to buy it too, but it leans a bit on the yellow side.

Anyway, I'll buy I guess..

[Something Big coming Hint by Mike Matessino]

Well, i don't know if you saw his next post but unfortunately he said it has nothing to do with John Williams. 😞

[Something Big coming Hint by Mike Matessino]

Imagine if he's not talking about a release but something else entirely.

If he is (talking about something else), then I'm holding you @Amer personally responsible for making us excited!
