I say again, impressive - getting an accurate transcription of the drums in one evening in particular.  I believe there is a strong demand for these skills as demo requirements become more demanding and composer's schedules tighter.  For those like me who have largely broken with thr technology it's invaluable that the next generation is so adept with this. 

That's impressive - how long did it take you?  I can think of a number of composers who would pay to have someone put a demo like this together for them including myself.

This was unknown to me - thanks for posting. 

Oddly Spotify used to have some of it.  Might not still be there.  I've also seen some of it on Youtube. 

Call me naive but I have always gotten the genuine sense that Hans doesn't follow the money especially now that he has no real need to.  There is some creative part of his brain that is tickled by some of these odd choices.  But he's got a decent animation rap sheet so it's not that much of a stretch.

I'm intrigued by this but Marty has been a whiny old fart lately.

I share your assessment Sharky.  The carol you posted is a good example, I've heard cats doing what's at the core of that for longer than Collier has been alive and they didn't overdress it like he has a tendency to.  Maybe I'm a stick in the mud.

Nor Adams himself.  But Birtwistle?  Gesualdo?  Sondheim?  Knussen?  Go figure.

It's a decent guilty pleasure flick with a good cast and lots of memorable lines. The asteroid scenes start to drag a bit, but the part where Bruce Willis puts Ben Affleck back on the ship and says he loves him always gets me for some reason.

Ooph. This thread reeks of Neo-neo JWFan...

All about this one.

Anyone else miss Sharky and the gang?

I've been recommending these for years on here Alex but gave up because the KM's of the world only want headphones that cost four figures.

Youngins have some fancy stuff nowadays.  Some of what I hear from students is as impressive as this and it tempts me back into it but then I remember my DX7 does a killer marimba and pan flute combo and I'm happy with that.

Just to make you mad!

Zimmer's two notes are absolutely iconic and embody just what he and Nolan were after.  Quite an achievement for any composer to engrain such a simple motive in the minds of so many.

Yeah it's the best SW score.
