Naïve Old Fart 9,553 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 That's Ray Davies of The Kinks, one of the three greatest British bands of the 60s, not Joe Schmo from NJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Why should Joe Schmo from NJ not have every opportunity to succeed musically? You have the luxury of simply not listening if you don't like what he does, as I do with solo Ray Davies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Yeah, why let a lack of talent and ability stand in your way. Computers can compensate. Naïve Old Fart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 So, how's work? Stefan is of course taking the piss, but just to allay Richard's rather prissy concern about this particular device polluting the pool of composers by enabling the untalented, all it does is gather a ton of sample, synthesizer, and general MIDI functions into one place. I've no idea how that might help someone who has no ability fake their way into it, but I hope you manage to live with the fear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Nope. Not baiting, as TGP knows well. Would Holkenborg be able to "write" music without a battery of computers to aid him? This forum's batch of midi composers will be quick to point out it doesn't matter, but i think it does. Technology can be an aid. But it can also be used to fake abilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naïve Old Fart 9,553 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 When JW scored all those "glossy comedies", did anyone really think that, ten years hence, he would re-invent the film score, and change the musical face of cinema? Now, I'm not really saying that Junkie XL is going to do the same thing, but he might turn out to be a cut above the usual RCP cookie-cutter crowd, and a good composer, in his own right. If anything, it's the creativity-sucking RCP, along with all these devices to "aid" (and for "aid", read "emasculate") composers, that's the problem.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Oh I agree. The next big composer may already be amongst us. Beavering away on modest projects. But Junkie??? Hasnt he really only had one really effective score. No Richard, we must look elsewhere. But where? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The adagio does what it needs to do in the film, and was never gonna persuade cynical classical music lovers like you. Its the weakest part of the score, but still acceptable.

Since VS recently released the 40th THE OMEN, this would suggest that it might have some sort of deal with 20th Century Fox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
