Ollie 1,059 Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 Kinda sounds like Silvestri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLUMENKOHL 1,068 Posted June 2, 2007 Author Share Posted June 2, 2007 It doesn't sound like a Silvestri melody to me, but the percussive punctuation reeks of Van Helsing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 1,059 Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 Towards the end it sounds like his music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock 11 Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 I think it definately could be Silvestri music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 It's fairly typical Silvestri muscular film music.Like Van Helsing before it the theme sounds very simplistic, but it could be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joni Wiljami 1,206 Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 It sounds very synth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 It is synth, it has actually already been confirmed months ago that this is a synth mock-up by Silvestri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock 11 Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 I missed that. Not a very good mock-up. JNH....now there's someone who knows how to mock-up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incanus 5,713 Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 That site has been up for ages and the music has been the same from the beginning. So has Silvestri composed something for the site so much in advance? It does sound little like Silvestri but does it necessarily have to be connected to the actual score of the upcoming film?

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Well this is an animated film, so it probably excisted in pre-vis long before the stuff with the actors was actually shot. It's very possibly Silvestri already wrote music for parts of the film, or developed themes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMacGyver 0 Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Yes the music from the website is Silvestri's! Dan goldwasser confirmed this at the fsm board and so did emile brinkman (owner of alan-silvestri.com).In late may this year, Alan Silvestri recorded 20 minutes of score already for usage at the comic-con 2007 where they will show the first excerpts of the film and there is some source music which he recorded in 2005 already. Glen Ballard is also involved again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least there will be a (small) JWFan.net delegation!I did not realize there was so little response from the jwfan.net members regarding this concert. At least some people from the silvestri forum will be there too. I am looking forward to seeing you all in madrid! BTW, I still need to figure out which covers I will take to have them signed.

nightscape94 965 Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 I'm anxiously awaiting a trailer for this freakin' movie. It seems like it's been on the radar for a long, long time with only visual sketches and character art. I want to see this stuff in it's full glory! I'd love to see this film in the rumored NC-17 version.Oh, and the music seem nice enough.Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Bit rubbish sound quality, but that music sounds great! When is this coming out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMacGyver 0 Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 The film comes out november 16th this year and the first teaser trailers are expected at the end of this month after the comiccon 2007.by the way, that video really is just a glimpse on how great the live experience really was. That concert was amazing from start to finish, and beowulf was such a magnificent finish that Alan had to come back to the podium several times. People were screaming and going crazy while Alan joked: "I am not going to like the way it looks the next time I come out!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock 11 Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Well, it certainly does sound like Silvestri. Very overblown...but, for once, it might actually be attached to a good movie, which gives me hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMacGyver 0 Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Very overblown...Hardly the right way to describe it when almost 60 percent of the suite consisted of very lyrical but subdued atmospheric music for male choir, strings, woodwinds and piano comparable in a way to basic instinct or bittersweet romantic music ala poledouris. Only the last third really qualifies as overblown once the march kicks in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigMacGyver 0 Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 No nothing is known about an album yet but thats no reason to worry since the movie is still several months away. I guess by the time of September/October we should find out more. The label could be warner / reprise again and there seems to be not much danger of song overload except maybe for an end credits song by silvestri and ballard.I would be really surprised if no score album would come out this time.

Only the last third really qualifies as overblown once the march kicks in. Silvestri's bittersweet romantic music sounds very overblown to me. And, really, it sounded very much like his Sommers scores, which are the defintion of overblown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morlock 11 Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 I didn't say over-blown was bad in this case. Although I do hope for some subtlety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMacGyver 0 Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Well, it certainly did not sound overblown to me when i was there and i was just a couple of feet away from the orchestra. To me, it just sounded right and I never felt any resemblance with his sommers scores maybe except for the march at the end which shares some similarities with van helsing as far as the choir is concerned but even that march as a whole is really more related to judge dredd in almost every way.It also helped greatly to hear mummy returns and judge dredd that evening and the beowulf part has definitely a lot going that distinguishes it from these two, mainly during the first half of the suite.BTW, here are some of the pictures i took that evening: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock 11 Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Hey, I'm looking forward to it. The movie could be something really special, and it may bring Silvestri back to scoring good movies. Last movie he scored that I thought was good was probably Lilo & Stitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
