mahler3 478 Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Some news pertaining to the score here = http://media.www.dailyillini.com/media/sto...n-3251800.shtmlInterestingAhh, any news is good news.But i'm a bit confused - is it being used in a "song" for the movie, or for the actual score itself? The article seems to be quite vague about that.I know what you mean, but I think they are referring to what we soundtrack fans like to call cues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus 390 Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Probably a case of ill-informed/misinformed journalism. Randy Kerber is employed by Williams (and others) as the main orchestra keyboard player, and also as an orchestrator, more recently.And I'm sure the fact that Kerber plays this instrument as part of the texture of the score has been confused with "composition", especially given that Kerber is also a writing musician.I highly, highly, highly, highly doubt that Randy Kerber has actually written something to serve as part of the score for Indy4.

Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 So this Kerber huy is writing the score,"helped" by this Williams guy who "composed the song to Star Wars" I liked that phrasing too. Even aside from that, it's kind of a poor article for a college level publication. Anyway, so this instrument is like a piano, but it transitions seamlessly from note to note?

davros72 1 Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 The way they use the word "song" in terms of the Star Wars theme song leads me to believe, along with more info on page 2 of the article, it'll just be incorporated into the orchestral scoring of the film, not a song-with-vocals type of "song". It sure does make me think of the theremin, and how that became synonymous with 50's sci-fi B-movies... which is what I think I read they were trying to shoot for with the latest Indy film (as opposed to the 30's Saturday morning serial feel for the original trilogy).

John Crichton 4 Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Here's another whopper:"According to Haken, the Continuum has been used in other movies such as "War of the Worlds" and "Superman Returns" for background ambiance. However, it was not yet been used in music for movies."Er.... OMG Indy 4 is composed in MIDIThe entire score is tracked from Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis.

Henry B 50 Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Not to that extent.What extent? The article gave no details of the instrument's use in the score. I'm sorry to say it, everyone, but this isn't Williams's first foray into synthesizers. He's only used them in dozens of scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it comes to a film score, I am really intrigued (and nervous) to see how Mr. Williams will put it to use.True - but most times in these cases, the instrument is used for like 2 seconds. They only get coverage because they are unique and I guess they need specialized players for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 1,059 Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Hmmm wonder if maybe it's going to be a substitute for a theramin or maybe used for source cues.I think they got Williams and Kerber mixed up in the article as far as composing and orchestrating, either that or it was just sloppy journalism. But it looks like he's work with Williams before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
