  1. What I mean is, why not put the same time and energy into your own music? What is there to be gained by meticulously copying an existing work (someone else's music) with sampled instruments? More importantly, what is the motivation behind it? You're never going to beat the real thing so what's the point?

    It's the law of relativity in motion, Alex. Humans must do something, to partake of a relative existence, It's in their nature as automatons. The motivation is primed by the maker.

  2. Well done, Marcus old chap (clap clap)

    In most cases of music suing, it comes from someone who is unknown and trying to capitalize on anothers success, Michael Jackson for example, was the target of many a copyright law suit over the years, none of which were successful.

    It would not be expediant for one of Williams stature to sue anyone, although he could over this piece.

  3. Nothing is real. It's what we make of it.

    Quite! how deep does the rabbit hole go...

    It's not really possible for something to be overplayed in the broader sense, it's how you react to the repetition.

    Often in film, familiar "songs" can be placed in a new context, and the song itself becomes anew and takes on another , greater dimension.

    Don't Stop Believing, in the ice skating scene in Monster comes to mind. Love that scene.

  4. Perhaps a more interesting question: what cues would you put on this CD?

    Well, if it could be anything at all, I'd like it to be just Williams playing it off the cuff from memory or his interpretation, mistakes and all;

    The Mecha World

    Homecoming - Born on the Fourth of July

    Summon the Heroes

    Escape from Cloud City

    Duel of the Fates

    The Motorcade

    Everybody Runs

    Lapti Nek

  5. He's a pretty good pianist, so I doubt his demo's are always "simple" as such. He probably riffs off some pretty dazzling stuff, at least for the ones who would appreciate it and have some instrumental imagination, like Spielberg, and maybe Oliver Stone.

    But yes, he only uses the piano to demo his cues. There really isn't any other way, since his music is intimately tied to the orchestration.
