  1. The Illusionist - Philip Glass Metropolis - Gottfried Huppertz The Passion of the Christ - John Debney
  2. Ha, so did I for the most part. Even Breaking Bad only brought me back for the last few episodes live rather than on Netflix. I do still watch Modern Family with regularity though.
  3. Listen to all those 90's synths/harmonies. So good! Redbeard from Sherlock's season 3 score is also really good.
  4. Ah yes, the bit they're recording in this video. Love the head-banging woman at 2:09, really into it. That's hot.
  5. Definitely, but still in the same vein as LOTR, to my ears.
  6. The aleatory in DOS is different, there's no doubt about it. Apart from some scalding brass moments in The Hunters, and the mounting tension in The Nature of Evil, I don't hear much that has the same feeling of the previous 4 scores' aleatoric moments. Mostly, I'd put that down to this being a different ensemble with a different conductor. I mentioned this before, and Doug kind of said it wasn't the case, but to me there was definitely a Pope/Williams influence on the way some of the unmetered stuff was notated and performed. A lot of the patterns used are less relatively diatonic/scalar than before, for instance those used in that awesome and tragically dialed-out build up in Gandalf the White, and much more dense/chromatic, like the Dementor stuff. Of course there's nothing that says that couldn't have been Shore's intention all along.
  7. Planet of the Apes, Alien, Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Star Trek V: The Final Frontier
  8. Yeah, he always seemed like such an affable guy. Wish he were here. There's also a not-great quality video of him recording The Mephisto Waltz. I'll find it when I'm not on my phone.
  9. They haven't made mobile phones this big since the 90's.
  10. She is a big girl.
  11. Hey there cutie.... Come here often?
  12. Not to forget the 5 note Sith motif, the recurring Dark Side string figure, the two chord fate motif and the Mustafar theme. All brief but extremely effective - especially that chordal motif, which serves as a thread for the entire score. Can you point out which cues those appear in?
  13. Been listening to Skyrim today. Take a listen to the electronic/ambient "atmosphere" music Soule wrote for the game, which he then combined with some soundscapes from the game's audio to create the fourth disc of the score album. Really wonderful stuff.
  14. Nice. Seems likely they would have been used on STID as well, so I'll check them out.

  16. A pastrami reuben and matzoh ball soup from the Carnegie Deli. And you'd be amazed how much that costs.
  17. 1. Signs 2. The Last Airbender 3. Treasure Planet (dat last cue) 4. Unbreakable 5. Batman Begins
  18. I watched this a while back as part of a binge of Jerry related interviews/documentaries. It was definitely a fascinating watch, but I wish it featured one of his greater scores.
  19. I'm not so sure. Giacchino uses live synths in the room at least sometimes, if you check out some photos from his sessions.
  20. Anyone have any idea what was used for the echoing notes at 19 seconds into Pranking the Natives, and also generally throughout the horn-led intro? I hear the obvious pad-synth, and the bell/chime one that plays right at the beginning and I think also plays the bit in question. Sounds Yamaha-ish maybe?
  21. Nice work from a sadly under-remembered composer. Here's an interesting thesis on Henri Dutilleux's work I've been reading through, maybe of interest to Sharky, Ludwig, and the other more academically inclined. https://kclpure.kcl.ac.uk/portal/files/2928482/DX225760.pdf
