12pete23 0 Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 who know what percussion instrument that is used in the piece dry your tears afrika? I' m looking for the name of the instrument that makes the sound of a whip. In my score they name it pully stick but I think its wrong. Could it be a Pu ilu stick from hawai?

KingPin 201 Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 It is the Hawaiian Puili sticks. Probably just a spelling error on the publisher's part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandor 798 Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 It is the Hawaiian Puili sticks.What? In a score about slaves from Africa??? If only Horner or Zimmer would have done this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Yeah Horner gets bashed for this a bit to often.Trevor Jones used a lot of gaelic influences in his much praised Last Of The Mohicans score.Imagine the hell that would have broken loose on forums everywere if Horner would have done that score.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Because that is a Japanese instrument, and the film takes place in....Japan.Please try to keep up will you.However Jerry goldsmith got away with using an Armanian instrument (the Duduk) in The Russia House. Of course this was before anyone even knew what a Duduk was.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock 11 Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Nonsense. Hans Zimmer is the first who used the Duduk. Ever. Silly man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Well, yeah, but before that it was considered a rather over-used instrument by many.well I think that critisism is mostly aimed at Horner, who has really used that instrument far to much (what the hell is it doing in Another 48 Hours or The Mask Of Zorro)Also, for such a diverse instrument with a large range, Horner pretty much always used it in the same way, either for providing a rhytm under action/suspense scoring, or very loud blasts of it (accompanied with loud drum or piano crashes) for sudden scene changes.

Hitch 57 Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Duduk was excellent in TRUE GRIT although I must say that THE SEARCHERS was his finest hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
