It's my favorite Tarantino

Has Thor been replaced!?

Yeah, he loved this stuff in the 2000's  you hear it in AI, Revenge of the Sith (and for some reason I'm thinking Return of the Jedi with something Emperor related but I don't remember the track).

@Jay I knew the moment that I saw your profile GIF that it was missing something.... No longer.

You can actually see Williams at about 1:35 in this clip. And yes, it's a non speaking role.  
 
 
 
 
 
Thanks! That was definitely worth the eleven year wait!
 
No problem. 

Ennio Morricone, John Carpenter, Alan Howarth - The Thing (Larry Hopkins re-recording) Julian Nott - Wallace and Gromit in The Wrong Trousers

Unpouplar Opinion: the Concord Indy box set was a good release that just had some problems, nothing crippling.

@Falstaft Contact Alex Ross, let him know that you've found additional information for him to present to Williams.

Why? What are the time signatures? 
 
After a long wait, I've finally downloaded Berlin Strings. The last string library I had was EWQL from 10 years ago. The difference in sound is incredible, and the smaller sections very handy for divisi. 
It's also the first time (you'll probably think I'm a caveman) I have a proper MIDI Keyboard with proper MIDI controllers. 
Just improvising with the various sounds is something I could spend hours on. There's nothing synth-y about it at all. It's as if you listen to actual players. 
I can't stress enough how much of a quantum leap (no pun intended) this is from 10 years ago. 
And how liberating it is to not worry about spending an excruciating amount of time on making something sound *just about* right. 

Also, you covered Blade Runner Blues on a CS80. You are welcome on this forum.

I nominate this as the best gif in the history of JWFan.

I won't add much to what everyone else has said (don't want to do any unnecessary doubling ), but do you like using those lower blockier voicings in the piano like in the third movement (latter half)? 
 
Overall, dig it, baby! Very fun and quaint tone.
 
 
As for myself, I just finished last week a track for an unannounced album coming out in October, I might post the unmastered version once it's announced.

No time like the present! The tools out there have become so numerous, easily available, and after some initial breaking in, rather easy to use, too.
 
 

I feel guilty for using such an obvious choice, but it's hard for me to think of another movie in recent memory that was so earnest and fell as hard on its face as Rise of Skywalker. It was very hard for me to watch in the theater, because I was sitting next to a ten year old looking kid and his father, and I didn't want to spoil his experience by laughing at the movie right next to him. I mostly succeeded, but there were some moments where I wasn't strong enough.
 
 
The comic timing on this is impeccable. A masterclass. His build up of "decoding the intel", the long pause, then the hardest acted moment in Isaac's career, when he tries to make himself as grave as possible, and he utters the money shot..."Somehow, Palpatine has returned." The sheer matter of factness, while he's trying to do everything he can to hold back his choked tears...beautiful and powerful, like the opening blast of Williams' opening fanfare. Also like Williams' famous text crawl music, the rest continues the excellence. Poe proceeds to recite one of the most blatant exposition dumps I've ever heard, rivalling--nay, besting, this classic:
 
 
It's such a naked attempt to make the stakes as dire as possible in the most childish way possible, and tries to make us care.
 
To add on, it cuts away to this one scrawny-ass dude no has ever mentioned, we have never seen before, suddenly a part of the A List, and apparently replete with uncanny expository knowledge: "Dark science. Cloning. Secrets only the Sith knew." No one acknowledges this dude's point, and barely even his existence...it feels like they filmed his cutaways completely independent from everyone else then just editorially slapped his footage in.
 
The tone of the dialogue struck me so that I believe I unearthed a massive component of Abrams' and Terrio's creative process. Here's the proof:

Here's some of the score to a satirical film I was involved in recently. I got to write for the ondes martenot and managed to work with an ondist in Paris (since there aren't many active players in the world anymore). Was a lot of fun putting this together.
