BLUMENKOHL

I sold most my physical collection between 2001 and 2008 (first went the notably ugly Varéses), now i only weed out redundant or boring cues from my digital collection. The last one was called 'Addio Fratello Crudele'.

I actually like the idea of a "fluid" collection, the idea of acquiring an experience through an object (like a CD or video game disc, etc.), and once I find that experience to no longer be relevant to where I'm at in life, passing it on, either to a friend, Internet buyer, secondhand store, etc. 
 
When I moved several months ago I went through a huge purge; on the music side, I got a rid of a number of Elfman soundtracks, CDs from Joni Mitchell, Vangelis, etc.  

What production tasks the liner notes guy with keeping the set in print?

Doug Adams can’t keep the complete LOTR in print. So he’s an amazing but otherwise useless individual with a Twitter account. 

Anyone like this combination? The chills are intense. 70-150 mg of caffeine (a shot or two of espresso), wait 20-25 minutes. Power up some John Williams. Have spinal orgasms. 

It's Lee Smith's editing, and I first put my finger on it watching Spectre. He ruins dramatic rhythms through over-cutting.

It was low on bloodshed and moralist preaching, which was one of its big pluses.

Talking about the good old days with occasional bits of casual racism?

Someone who doesn’t write in the JW style.

That post is a slip-up. 

The red coat scene is possibly the biggest lasting memory of the film for most people, it's iconic. I swear Alex is a fucking muppet sometimes. 

For those cinemagoers who value a powerful sense of catharsis it is an important scene, well earned. 

No. 
 
 
Yes.
 
 
 
 
There is an experience that arises from the interaction between music and its intended visual medium that you cannot replicate any other way. While you can put the music against other visuals or your own imagination, you are missing a fundamental experience that the composer created in the space between the specific music and the specific picture/ballet/opera.  
 
It is like listening to the timpani line from the Star Wars main title and proclaiming you can fill in the rest yourself. Sure, you can, but you have not heard Star Wars main title. It is the interaction between the timpani, the flutes, the trombones, the trumpets, the strings, etc. that makes the track.
 
And ultimately if you haven’t seen the silent blue text followed by the blast of yellow text, you do not truly understand the Star Wars theme. 

May he rise from the dead.

Couple things:
 
1) He didn't in fact put his money where his mouth is, since there was never any question about his abilities as a composer - only his ability to do exactly what he suggested as far as a 10 minute suspense cue. 
 
2) You've heard scraps of music from me over the years, brief and insignificant, and this is how it will remain.  My presence on JWFan was never meant for personal promotion or anything like that - this is fine, of course, it's just not what I'm here for.  And as I don't try to wield my own profession as a tool in arguments (except where raw theory may be involved), I don't think it's incumbent upon me to offer up anything in support. 
 
Savvy?

One of my favorite stories in history is how Brunelleschi got the commission for the dome of the Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore. 
 
 

Guess you can do anything in 10 minutes if you shamelessly ape 10 other composers in 7.5 minutes. 

Dude....
 
How do you not understand that I am not asking to hear your balls out best as a composer, nor anything by you other than your take on a 10 minute, one finger sample and loop session?
 
That's what the conversation is about, that's what my proposal was.  That is all.
 
Bleedin' Christ, can I get a ban for my own sanity, here?

I went for a run while listening to this, I like it. 
 
I can see why lazy computer chair potatoes at JWFan wouldn't like it. 

Publicist and I agree so rarely that when we do, it must be because whoever is arguing against him has lost his damned mind!
