Code 000. Destruct. 0.

Wow. I missed some stuff.

I haven't seen any in my as-yet brief tenure here. That should change!

^Lol, great signature. Tonight I listened to North's 2001, and Jerry's Timeline and Planet of the Apes.

Now I have no interest in this film one way or another, but yeesh. How many times can Weinstein crap all over someone's film before his amorphously bloated self is stopped? http://collider.com/grace-of-monaco-release-date-pushed-weinstein/#disqus_thread

Sage, absolutely. Fennel, never.

After the statement of the Erebor theme at 1:30 in The Courage of Hobbits, does it sound to anyone else like the ending phrase it spins into is a hint at Dwarrowdelf material? Maybe someone noticed it before.

I'll be up at that time here anyway. Sleep is for the boring.

It ain't late here across the pond.

Nope. =( But the concerto should be. And I didn't even know about this horn piece.

I only cross-dress when I'm told.

Interesting. Any word lately on the double concerto?

It's not even arranging. It's editing a bunch of tracks. How? Putting aside the Zimmer jokes, I think valid points about this contest are being brought up. Well, putting aside the Zimmer jokes, there's little being said about Zimmer. And Faleel I think explained what the contest is all about well enough. It's more about arranging and the sort of thing that we know folks in Zimmer's "band," or in this case whatever the musical group is, are expected to know how to do, rather than outright composing.

This thread is one big circlejerk of musical ignorance.

Yes, I retract my Indy/Star Wars examples as they stray a bit beyond haunting in a depressing sense. But the AI one embodies that completely for me.

Yes, let them go on thinking that learning is for squares!

That's awesome. Liam is somewhat old for it, but it's freaking Liam.

The opening choral segment of Stored Memories. Hell, the whole cue. When Sir Richard's sarcophagus is revealed to a solemn reading of the grail theme, and the earlier statement when Marcus and Indy are in Henry's study. The Force theme at the start of Tales Of A Jedi Knight. You've already heard it during the binary sunset, but this setting is the one that made the biggest impression on me the first time. It's very haunting; it sounds distant, archaic, steeped in history, and makes the imagination run wild envisioning what that history could be.

You might also opt to have certain sections playing certain components towards a certain acoustic end, depending on string seatings and things like that. The ranges of the instruments and what will make the sonority ideally balanced or unbalanced factor in. Besides, we're talking about the compositional end of it, not the practical one that comes into play on the scoring stage. Things aren't as simple as they appear from the outside.

Oh?

Hahaha. It's because the child is half dwarf....

While I'm all for not making the compositional process seem more convoluted or clinical than it is, there is a bit more to it than that....

Wow, that is lovely. And what fine orchestrations by Shore!

That's pretty disappointing. I'm a fan of everything Tarantino has put out. Maybe he'll simmer down and go forward with it after all. I can't imagine how frustrated he must be though.

You're still a Joey nemesis.

Spray tans, stupid faces, horribly overdone makeup... she embodies it all.
