Damn all this posting in one day - postipated.

JW stole the Allegro Marcia motif in Rachmaninoff's second piano concerto first movement in his Spyders from Minority Report.
Hoby ( who performed the C minor Concerto last year and the D minor 2 years before that)

Rachmaninoff is even better then John Williams.

I think I will be sitting outside the Oscars this year with my, "Give him the oscar allready, stop pretending" sign.

Well that is salary. They have a music budget also - unless they work on a package.
-
750,000 - 500,000 for a B list composer most likely.
-
Most of the time a fired composer if completed (the score) will get full compensation.

His agent told me. He saved the day - and they asked for a rediculous amount and got it.

Whats the deal in Empire when han shoots Darth with has blaster pistol? How come those lasers stop when they hit his hand? Mad Jedi die from lazers in AOTC.

What planet will they show after the title crawl?
My guess is Curuscant and they will pan down to the left to get there. There will be three star destroyers and a few scattered fighters about.

War of the Worlds will be recorded in LA - most likely at Sony.

I would rather have Newton Howard win this year than anyone. He deserves it - the man is amazing and is constantly overlooked.
-
The Incredibles Promos are on their way out also.

I think the sign of a great pair of headphones is having ultra clear mid range frequencies. High and Low are easy to fake, but mids takes gear.
This just reminds of me of that Bose stereo with the Herbie Hancock commercial. Can you hear how clear this stereo is??? I was like yeh definately - it sounds so clear coming through my shitty TV speakers.

Headphones cannot provide the deep bass that music can provide. The kind of bass you feel. The drivers just cannot physically move the air.

However most headphones have a natural EQ built in to compensate for this.

Sorry if you didn't like my automatic response, it seems like we get something like this way too often. Translation:
Williams has never composed music for any video game. Ever. People on file sharing programs and the like often attribute things like this to Williams because he is the only composer they know of.
Damn.

Ever listen to headphones and it sounds like all the stuff panned around 12 o'clock is sounding like it is coming from your nose or fore head? That is so wierd because your body of course doesn't have a hearing device down the middle of the body so everything we are hearing is being panned from our brain there. I find this also when listening at my computer, with my speakers set up correctly it sounds as if the music is coming right from the monitor. So basically anything we hear in the center is an illusion; and is really L or R and our brain compensates it. Which is amazing that our brain can instantly take that information and do all that without us being aware, primarily taking 2 mono signals (left and right ear) and creating a stereo image with depth out of them. I suggest we call this the Hoby12 Phenomenom.
EDIT: 1 bad spelling mistake, I will leave the others.

I wonder if JW ever hangs out with any of these movie stars or directors?

Who Chose John Williams??? I wish at this point I could change this to "who would lose first the following brawl?"
