Home Alone (I and II) Complete Scores

[GoodMusician 56]

hey, just wanted to let you all know my FTP is back up. Unfortunately the site address changed slightly so I had to go back and redo all the links in the index but that also means the index address itself changed so if you'd like that, please email me or PM me.

I'm currently recompiling disc 2 as Miguel has found some interesting performances. Disc 1, however is up.

[GoodMusician 56]

Hey all, I just finished compiling disc 2. It's actually a lot longer than I thought lol... Thanks to Miguel and everyone else who helped me compile the music. You know who you are ;-)

I took the liberty to play with some balances on the other material to mix them a bit better as it's funny how many styles people have for mixing more "pop" style music but I tried to make it as present as possible and such...

After this, I'll put together a companion CD for Home Alone 2 latter on. I have quite a few good concert recordings and there is a bit of material missing song wise... score wise I'm unsure and I don't have the DVD so it might have to wait until I do...

[Delorean90 42]

Hey, GoodMusician. I haven't really listened to any of your edits up until now (I downloaded and lost your TPM score without getting a chance to listen to it). I'm listening to Home Alone now, and I'm really enjoying it. The sound quality is great--amazing for DVD rips. Great work!

[Koray Savas 2,251]

Right. You can't burn them to CD either.

Ray Barnsbury

Actually you can, that's the only way I know to get music bought from iTunes. Burn the score to a CD-R and then re-import it into iTunes, my brother does it all the time to give me scores he buys from iTunes.

[GoodMusician 56]

it's probably because it's such an old film. Films that came out before and around Jurassic Park dont' really utilize the full 5.1 so when you rip them, for the most part, their back channels are clean. This one, surprisingly almost didn't use it's front channels at all lol...

You'd think for all the gags and the sound effects for the attack on the house it would be more used but it wasn't...

Not that I'm complaining! lol

[Delorean90 42]

Yeah! Did you use the newer DVD release or the original DVD release, though? Not that they necessarily changed it, but it seems that even older movies, if they're on a more recent release, they might tweak the mix some so that there's more sound effects and (ARRGGH!!!) dialogue echo. I did encounter a healthy lack of SFX and dialogue echo, though, on the Rocketeer DVD. It doesn't have as good a quality as this, but it's still pretty good. The biggest problem is adjusting dynamics and stuff. I need to take another pass at it, this time using a compressor (which I didn't know about when I last tried it).

Anyway, great work, once again!

[GoodMusician 56]

I used the Family Fun Edition which is a pretty recent release... they must not have changed much if anything...

[Delorean90 42]

Okay, cool. Thanks. I'd like to get a hold of it, especially with all those deleted scenes.

[GoodMusician 56]

the deleted scenes are kinda funny. I was almost tempted to play with the track "Toy Execution" because originally Kevin had a line between lining them up and shooting them down. But musically speaking it would mean inserting a few seconds in between the last snare roll, and the final one, and it didn't change much of it so there wasn't really a point. No unreleased/unused music either.

Watching another deleted scene though about the Pizza boy... lol... he is so gay lol... and when Joe Pesci's character says he wants to go to the boys house... (to check out the security system) you can almost sense that that is NOT what the Pizza boy is thinking lol

ANYWAYS! :-p

Hey GM, can't wait to listen to what you did with Home alone scores.I have to say that i really like what you did with ESB.One little problem though,i can't access your site to download the files.

Thanks

Richard

[Koray Savas 2,251]

Hey GoodMusician, is your site up? I've been checking it every now and then and it's always down.

[scissorhands 16]

Hey GoodMusician, is your site up? I've been checking it every now and then and it's always down.

Well, read his previous posts.

[GoodMusician 56]

yes...please do lol...I said the FTP is different and if you want the new link, pm me

[Miguel Andrade 1,260]

Submiting for your aproval the labels for the two Home Alone discs.

I decided not to label them as disc 1 and disc 2, and rather have the indication of complete score on one of them, and source and cover recordings on the other.

Hope you all enjoy. Comments are welcomed and the front and back cover are hopefully coming soon.

[GoodMusician 56]

cool! I like it hehe

[Red 75]

You two would make a great team.

[Kevin McCallister 0]

Regarding missing music from HOME ALONE 2...

--Source Music for the Plaza Hotel commercial.

--Christmas Source Music in Duncan's Toy Chest (as Kevin checks out).

--A six second insert from Kevin's Booby Traps (just before we cut to Marv with the Paint all over him).

It should be noted that the first two above WERE FOUND by Michael Matessino during the re-mastering of HOME ALONE 2 for Varese, but were left off.

Otherwise, every note of music is on the Varese set.

[Miguel Andrade 1,260]

I'm having a problem with the covers...

a) I cant fing images of the film anywhere. The few I find on the internet are in low resolution.

b) I'm having trouble in getting proper screen captures from the DVD...

So, if anyone has high to good quality images of this one, or can get proper screen captures, and is willing to help, please, let me know, so I can finish this covers.

Thanks.

[GoodMusician 56]

Hey Miguel... what sort of screen caps do you need? any scenes or shots in particular?

[Miguel Andrade 1,260]

Hey Miguel... what sort of screen caps do you need? any scenes or shots in particular?

Can you get me the one where Kevin is jumping up and down on his parents bed -- right after he realizes he's home alone.

Also, any picture you think it will work on the context of the cover, it will be great.

Thanks.

[Miguel Andrade 1,260]

This is the front cover so far. Sugestions are welcome, but high quality images from the film even more...

[Deinonychus 0]

There is a song in Spanish Version of DVD that I recorded from too...

[GoodMusician 56]

excuse me?

I don't quite understand....

[Miguel Andrade 1,260]

I finally got back working on this covers... The front of the booklet and the back cover are still in the works, but you can already check the inside of the booklet.

Let me know what you think about it.

[Quintus 5,399]

Is the Home Alone stuff really worth listening to? All I seem to remember from it is that bit from Hook and the airport cue which sounds like Tchaikovsky. Is the incidental stuff in there worthy of headphones?

[Red 75]

If you're asking if the score is good, then yes it is (great even).

[Quintus 5,399]

What, even the preparing the traps part, with it's glorious Gremlins style synth drums?

[Ray Barnsbury 8]

All I seem to remember from it is that bit from Hook

To be fair, Home Alone came first. And yes, it's a wonderful score, full of magic and emotion.

[Red 75]

What, even the preparing the traps part, with it's glorious Gremlins style synth drums?

Especially that part.

[King Mark 3,625]

How much unreleased music is there in Home Alone(not counting orchestration alternates and source cues)?

[Ollie 1,059]

Is the Home Alone stuff really worth listening to? All I seem to remember from it is that bit from Hook and the airport cue which sounds like Tchaikovsky. Is the incidental stuff in there worthy of headphones?

Yes it is.

[Koray Savas 2,251]

And you call yourself a John Williams fan.

[indy4 155]

It's one of JW's best scores, IMO.

[GoodMusician 56]

In doing the project I did,. however, find that most of it is almost completely lifted or elaborated upon in Home Alone II... so yes it's worth getting for content reasons, but if you're not that enthused about II, I wouldn't force you to listen to I

and, fyi... you'll all have trouble accessing my site. It's down right now. Stillwaiting for it to go back up.

[Dalton007 0]

What's the website url?

[Mr. Breathmask 555]

Requests via PM only, please.

[GoodMusician 56]

yea, unless you want this thread closed, I suggest any further requests go straight to me... but as I said, there's no point in giving out any address at the moment as the entire hosting site is down and from what I'm told, something went terribly wrong which may mean that it'll 1) be a while before it's back or 2) when it comes back, be completely reorganized. Either way, giving out any link right now wouldn't aide anyone. I'll post when it comes back.

[Miguel Andrade 1,260]

Front cover is finally done:

I'm posting also a reviewed version of the booklet inside, as there was a couple of typos in there:

[GoodMusician 56]

MIguel... I love your work but I really think you should start putting our names on this stuff. I say that only because wether real or not, our efforts are just as valid. Your work on the cover art and helping me collect music and mine to remix it and edit it and such.

I think that you should include us on the covers also becuase people seem to be fond of taking my sets and sharing them now, and I think having at least some way to say "That was mine" would be nice as well.

"Set assembled by: Bernard "BrachioInGen" Kyer"

"Covery art by: Miguel Adrande"

[Koray Savas 2,251]

You really should, before you know it other people will take credit for your guys' amazing work.

[Miguel Andrade 1,260]

My work is not amazing. As far as I'm concerned, I need no credit.

[GoodMusician 56]

well, then just put my name :-p

I tease... Miguel, I still think it would be great. I always feel bad when people upload my sets online but make new cover art...I honestly feel that your artwork really compliments my sets and gives them an extra special quality so I do insist.

[ins 42]

Put some sort of signature onto the covers. At least the bastards on ebay selling YOUR work there should not have it to easy...and Miguel, don't be to harsh to yourself. My Covers would be single colored

[Miguel Andrade 1,260]

Corrected booklet with credits for Bernie and myself:

Back cover:

And inlay:

Enjoy

[Koray Savas 2,251]

Good job!

[Miguel Andrade 1,260]

Good job!

Thank you.

And here's the corrected label for disc one -- the previous posted version had a typo...
