crocodile 8,017 Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 I'm really excited for this year's edition of the festival. Among the guests are Dario Marianelli, Patrick Doyle, Lisa Gerrard, Elliot Goldenthal and... Gustavo Santaolalla. More to be announced soon. Can't wait for Goldenthal's Grand Gothic Suite from Batman films in particular. The last time he visited they played only a snippet (Gotham City Boogie, I think).Doyle has offocially announced his attendance yesterday: Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 7,517 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 And now Hans Zimmer is coming too - attending both ASCAP Gala and Gladiator Live concerts. KarolGreat! I knew they were trying, and now it seems it's confirmed.Superb! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 8,017 Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share Posted August 11, 2014 I thought it was going to be either him or Powell. But when they said this morning there will be a big announcement in major radio station today... that's when it became obvious. And it made perfect sense as well, given this years' programme.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,517 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Absolutely. I was a bit worried for the festival earlier this year, when I only knew about the KON-TIKI bit that I'm involved in. Not that that isn't great, but they needed some more 'stars'. Well, now the roster is suddenly looking more impressive than any other film music event this year.

publicist 4,643 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Great report, Karol, as usual. Wished i could have attended but my schedule is nearly as impossible as Zimmer's (if less handsomely paid) so i have to make out till the Desplat/Elfman double whammy on London.

crocodile 8,017 Posted October 3, 2014 Author Share Posted October 3, 2014 Make sure you let me know. I'm going to see Desplat, too. We can grab a drink or something.Oh and I contacted LSO. There might be a Q&A with Desplat before or after the concert. I'll share some info if/when they sort it.And you should definitely visit Krakow at some point.

publicist 4,643 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I spent three very intoxicated New Year celebrations in Krakow, around 1998 till 2001... Desplat Q&A is 6:15, i think.

crocodile 8,017 Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 The programme for this years' edition is up.I'm not particularly overwhelmed as of yet. But it does have potential to be really great. Many of the composers featured aleady visited Krakow in previous years - Morris, Doyle, Goldenthal. But would be nice to see them again. Goldenthal seems to like Krakow, since it's it might be his fourth visit in the past four years.The main question, of course, is whether Giacchino is going to turn up. With his summer's schedule, that is. But then, he attended all (most?) presentations of Star Trek so here's hoping. Plus, they're doing TV show gala as well, so Lost might be on the programme as well.Hey, does it mean they're bringing Abel and Penny Dreadful?Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,517 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Agreed, it's not the spectacular edition it was last year, but hey -- that's an unfair comparison, because last year was the greatest film music event of all time!I really want to go, regardless of guests, but it may collide with a job-related project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 8,017 Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 Yeah, I think the reaction comes from the fact it was such a spectacular gala last year.Having said that, I had a similar reaction to previous programmes, too. It's only weeks before the event that it started to grow in my eyes. Plus, major guests still need to be announced. It could still be great experience.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,517 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Of course. Actually, attractive guests don't matter that much to me as it's such a great time regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 8,017 Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 They just announced the programme for 2016 edition.I don't like this new website,. It doesn't mention that John Powell, Harry Gregson-Williams and Cliff Martinez will be there. There might be more. Who knows, maybe Desplat will show up?But it all looks varied an interesting: Polanski films, two concerts devoted to Hollywood animation (including one with the music of Batman: The Animated Series with some composers in attendance), The Witcher video game music, Golden Age music of Kaper and Wars and Raiders of the Lost Ark live to projection? I'm in.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 8,017 Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 In any case, I hope to see you during one of these events next year, Thor! This year was a bit thin for me in terms of concerts. But I'm hoping to be more "mobile" next year.Who knows, maybe it's time to get involved in those more actively?Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
