KK 3,307 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Sounds like a trumpet harmon mute to me Sharky.And Hirschfelder's score was one of my first, and still a personal favourite. Haunting stuff indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I don't know, the overwhelming nature of the film's sound and bad press that followed it will probably play as minus points in the voters' eyes for Interstellar.Meanwhile, both film and score have been lauded for Birdman, far more than Interstellar. Though I haven't seen or heard it yet I know. Birdman is a superb film and score. I was referring to it when I said "It's deserving..."Just personally saying I preferred Interstellar's experience. And the entire Birdman album is on YouTube. I posted it somewhere in one of these threads after I saw the film.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCOfAu4OQVQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK 3,307 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Yeah, just some bad timing with the posts Koray.And I don't think I'd appreciate the score until I've heard it in film. So I'll refrain from listening to the album till then. But thanks.Ultimately I agree that I think Interstellar will probably end up being the most deserving candidate of the nominees (though that doesn't make it my favourite of the year).

Though I haven't seen or heard it yet I've actually heard through the grapevine that the sound mixing stuff is being widely viewed as "laudably experimental" by Academy folks.

KK 3,307 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Is it? Hmm, interesting.Still, I don't think Interstellar will go home with much gold. And Sanchez is where I'm placing my bets on for the Original Score race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 It's a uncompromising dissection of man's inhumanity towards himself! Can he become something more then the sum of his ambition. And if he does, does that leave his humanity behind?Is he the bird or is he the man? Are we all potentially birds? As in the humanity being like an egg for the bird to hatch from?Powerful stuff you will agree! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incanus 5,716 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 And surely the Birdman score will take its place alongside such Oscar winners as Star Wars, Omen, Schindler's List, Beauty and the Beast, Chariots of Fire, The Lion in Winter, Ben-Hur and Sunset Boulevard. It must have quite a drumming going on in the award circles.Or in drum circles. Like the one Hans put together last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed several interpolations of the central theme in cues longer than their OST coutnerparts (most notably in AURORA IN FAERIELAND) and think the OST could have done with less of the indifferent 2-minute cues and more of these versions.

KK 3,307 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 I like the score, even if its pretty derivative in parts.The "Bird of Prey" theme as you call it, is basically straight from Shostakovich, and there's lots of Holst going on around the score (though that isn't exactly new in film music is it?).

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 I agree with your review. Star Trek 6 is a very solid score, but one that does have a lot of meandering filler. The big battle cue has nice individual moments, but it never has the sustained excitement of lets say Battle Of The Mutara Nebula. As the films changes from the exteriors of the battle, to the scenes with the crew inside the Enterprise or Excelsior and then to the Khitomer conference and back to the battle etc the score constantly stops and starts so it never really gains momentum.But his themes are excellent and the music for the sign off scene, complete with stellar use of the Alexander Courage theme and his end credits suite really is superb.

And The Voyage Home is nice too. I think you'd like it.Thoughts on the ones you've heard so far? (Even if it's just one word for each).And your ranking?
