  1. Certainly not bereft of thought, but definitely rather muted in richness of feeling.
  2. Yup, Jóhann Jóhannsson scored ARRIVAL, and Villeneuve used the existing recording of On The Nature Of Daylight to bookend the film (and I think Johannsson *may* have subtly referenced Daylight in his input, though I'm not sure).
  3. SPACEMAN - Max Richter https://music.apple.com/nz/album/spaceman-original-motion-picture-soundtrack/1729872386 Based on the trailer for SPACEMAN (which seems like my kind of sci-fi), muted minimalism might suit this film just fine. But every time Hollywood employs Max Richter, I hope they'll seize on his gift for more outwardly expressive minimalism present in pieces like "On The Nature Of Daylight" and "November" that brought him so much attention. "Memory Is A Voyager" sticks out a bit in this album. I haven't seen a lot of Ricther-scored films (SHUTTER ISLAND and ARRIVAL don't count to me), so as of now AD ASTRA is still the closest I've come to loving a Richter score written exclusively for the given movie (and, as a lot of JWFan knows, even that isn't all Richter).

  5. DRIVE-AWAY DOLLS - Carter Burwell https://music.apple.com/nz/album/drive-away-dolls-music-from-the-motion-picture/1731277127 Theremin! A fun selection of comically-exaggerated caper material! Heartening to know that decades later, Burwell's voices is still fresh and very much his own.
  6. This is the end credits music, which I'm guessing this YouTuber recorded off their phone in the theater. Levi + Glazer = Time To Get Your Freak On.

  8. And IF / Inside Out 2! (assuming he returned for that sequel).
  9. It hasn't been given an official release date, but based on its 2022 announcement and 2023 production, Andrew Stanton's live-action IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE for Searchlight Pictures ought to release this year. I worship Stanton even when he misses, and this film reportedly draws inspiration from things like INTERSTELLAR and MAGNOLIA, which is nothing but good news to me. Hoping for a Thomas Newman reunion!!! (Also, this is from an original script from Colby Day, whose first produced screenplay, SPACEMAN, is releasing on Netflix on March 1st and seems to have potential!)
  10. ORIGIN - Kris Bowers https://music.apple.com/nz/album/origin-original-motion-picture-soundtrack/1725771115 If only because there's still a deficit of high profile composers of color in the industry, I keep hoping I'll love a Kris Bowers score. The closest I've come is Bad Hair, which is a strong horror score, and the Origin samples have some lovely solo string bits here and there, but the harmonic direction of this music is just kind of okay to me (but maybe this is me being just another white guy holding a double standard for white vs. POC composers).
  11. Because this album is taking its sweet time releasing/getting a proper preview, here's a sample of Mica Levi's Zone Of Interest score 👀
  12. I feel this with half of Desplat's scores. His actual writing is always aces to me, this cue included, but I wish the beat overlays were lower in the mix (which is difficult to ask of ever-rhythm-forward Desplat), and the sense of space in the recording stage was fuller.

  14. Impatiently waiting for this movie's belated release so I can listen to the entire score guiltlessly
  15. Oppenheimer seems like it has already won, and Killers Of The Flower Moon seems like the only other nominee lock. After that it could be anyone (I'd like to see American Fiction and Society Of The Snow in there).
