Sharkissimo 1,973 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 The instrument is called a transceleste, and would have been played by the legendary studio percussionist Emil Richards (CE3K, PLANET OF THE APES, ST:TMP). Here's a description of it: This instrument, dubbed "transceleste" by Emil Richards, is composed of hollow, brass tubes. It's tuned microtonally, in a 22-note Indian shruti scale. The bars have a long sustain, and glisses on the instrument especially create quite a dark, mystical feel. This transceleste was used in films such as Night at the Museum, Airplane, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Flinstones, The Legend of Zorro, Independence Day, and Jurassic Park. Another score you can hear it on is Don Davis's THE MATRIX (4:27 in The Hotel Ambush) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 DOS used it too, at least it was written in the score. I can't particularly hear it when it's featured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkissimo 1,973 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I can just about hear it at 0:43 in The Woodland Realm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dylan345 3 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Where is it in Jurassic park? I don't ever remember seeing it in the sheet music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkissimo 1,973 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 You know I have no idea. That's a question for Emil Richards or the orchestra contractor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,335 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Crazy as it sounds, I have The Deep on vinyl. My god, soundtrack commercials ... the '70s were so New Wave! Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
