Neimoidian 14 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Let's hope Doyle was inspired. I have a feeling he hasn't been in a while.The only recent score of his that I like is As You Like It and I know most people aren't fond of it either.

publicist 4,643 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 The only recent score of his that I like is As You Like It and I know most people aren't fond of it either.It's decent enough but not a style of music for most people who expect scores like WOLVERINE 4 or C®APTAIN AMERICA with gibberish anticipation.

TownerFan 4,983 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 This is a clip of music as heard on the official film's website:http://thor.marvel.com/assets/audio/thor_loop_1.mp3I guess this a snippet of Doyle's score. Well, it doesn't sound very promising to my ears (but it was somewhat expected after listening to Patrick's interview last week). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 The FSM crowd is a lot more postitive!The music is definitely Doyle, I hear flavors of DEAD AGAIN, HAMLET and other past scores in it, which excites me no end.Haha. It's the 'Patrick' Power Anthem. I like the theme. This bodes well for the score Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 7,504 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Is that really Doyle?

If it is, it's the closest I've ever heard him come to Zimmer et.al.Most popular film composers write like this these days, because they are asked to do so. Hence most scoress sound alike.As for the sample, this doesn't sound like Doyle's at all. I hope it's not him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muad'Dib 1,802 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Why does every score have to sound like that nowadays? Really, couldn't we have a brassy old-fashioned theme? It doesn't even have to be light-hearted... It could be something like Conan. Now that's badass music and it doesn't even need synths!We can only hope that they don't ask to Silvestri something like this for Captain America.

It doesn't even have to be light-hearted...I don't know if you saw Doyle's interview that was posted here last week, but he told that the producers (i.e. Marvel Studios) were adamant to have a score removed of any kind of "old-fashioned" elements. They wanted a dark, low, brooding sound that should have not compete with the visuals. He even said that there are no trumpets in the score, save for the last reel cues.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Trumpets in Superhero movies are sooo cliche now.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Power anthems are NOW!

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 The music from The Matrix is far to complex and layered.
