I quite liked this post from a Reddit thread on the video:
 

Alright, who's going to "ENHANCE!" this so we can speculate wildly on his current project:
 

"People ask about a legacy, I don't think about [that] very much - I think I'm much too young to think about such things" - John Williams

Could be, but he sure likes to have those water bottles nearby.
 

 

A couple of jazz tunes from 50s before he got into film music that seriously and had his own jazz band
 
 
 
 
Another jazzy tune, Make Me Rainbows (1967). 
 
 
Finally, INCREDIBLE rendition of Gershwin's Bess. Recordings like these got me at the verge of crying of how much the world of jazz had lost.
 
 

LP: "Rossini, Bellini, Donizetti, Verdi, Puccini...all dead!"
JW: "Hang on...so Steven wasn't just joking."

Interview, and yes, John's voice sounds a little course. Perhaps he talked a lot at rehearsals as this was recorded just before the concerts. Stay young Johnny! 
 
 

1959-1969
1970-1974
1975-1984
1986-1996
1997-2005
2008-2023
 

I hear his catchphrase is "Mess with me and you will decompose."  

Yep, he is campaigning even harder for The Fabelmans than he ever did in recent years. An astounding feat considering his age. But I think he is doing this more for his friendship with Spielberg and how much this film means to him, than anything else.

Coming soon:
"She's not a woman you can say fucking no to."
"I know, but the fucks are all dead."
"I wrote a fuckton of 5 note variations."

On @TownerFan's birthday, I will share his new birthday video for the maestro!
 
 

"There were people you could say no to, but they're all dead."

I'm excited to hear some more variations on this theme.
 
"J.J. Abrams is many things....He's a director, a master of lens flares, lover of the 'mystery box'...one thing he isn't, is a man who can give me a locked picture to score to."

I love: "A day without music is a mistake."

A piano always owns its player, so you better be nice to it.
 
 
The more important question here, is whether JW used a rosewood Steinway for composing the music to Rosewood.

Hi all, there may have already been a thread about this somewhere but I was wondering if we could concentrate our knowledge about some of the sounds used in this score.
Dennis Steals The Embryo
I was able to find the Owl Sound from Dennis Steals The Embryo (Synclavier) at 16 seconds you can clearly hear it
I believe the synth boo-bams are the actual live boobams now in the posession of LA percussion rentals
I believe the main clave (originally pulli sticks in the score)  in the song may be synth
 
I believe the dx7 was being used at the time (for example the TUBELL preset I believe is a sound on Home Alone Main Title)

Does anyone else have info?

Every story told by John last night!

So I just found out this jem posted 3 weeks ago, a very insightful conversation with one of his faithful conductors. And the searh did not detected that this was posted here before, so I must share, just in case.
