The Themes of Howard Shore's The Hobbit
Code 000. Destruct. 0. replied to Jay's topic in Tolkien Central
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.- 1,535 replies

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.

Star Wars ep 4-6 versus 1-3 Action Music
Code 000. Destruct. 0. replied to karelm's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
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? -

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. -

Nice. Seems likely they would have been used on STID as well, so I'll check them out. -

A pastrami reuben and matzoh ball soup from the Carnegie Deli. And you'd be amazed how much that costs. -

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.

Star Trek Into Darkness Synths
Code 000. Destruct. 0. replied to Code 000. Destruct. 0.'s topic in General Discussion
I'm not so sure. Giacchino uses live synths in the room at least sometimes, if you check out some photos from his sessions. -
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?

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 -

Isn't "River" superb? I think my favorites for now are Circles and Light and Darkness. And City of Glass. And Temptation, and Skies... I liked this one. It was really an eye-opener for me, the whole score. I'm starting to warm to Desplat - this, The Painted Veil, Zero Dark Thirty, and now The Monuments Men. Gotta give Benjamin Button a spin. -
