Incanus 5,765 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Why so much bruha over Shore not being at recordings? That is what I have been wondering for quite a long time now. It must have something to do with the authorship of the music and how it is diminished by the fact that he is not conducting the music nor making the in situ changes at the podium to conform the music to the film. This has been taken as a sign of distrust and some kind of bad blood between Peter Jackson and Shore, a show of disrespect to Shore's work on the films. Or this is what I am reading from the comments around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,338 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 When have you ever heard of a big name composer not being present at the recording?COS is the one instance I can think of.It just doesn't seem to happen. Not with Zimmer, Silvestri, Giachino, Elfman, Arnold, Powell, Beltrami etc etc...But now not only isn't Shore conducting, for the first time he's using an orchestrator.What happened?

Incanus 5,765 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I think the song applies to you disgruntled folks quite well.But at least I won't be thinking about Conrad Pope's involvement in the music every time I listen to the DoS score.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,338 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Who says I'm disgruntled?I just think it's funny that we are encouraged to see the DoS recording situation as "normal". It's not. Not for Shore, not for film composers in general.Even the ones that don't conduct are there during the recording. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not for Shore, not for film composers in general.Even the ones that don't conduct are there during the recording.Why should there be a strange mystery or catch in there? What is the actual concern in all of this really? Is it preferable to make up fanciful conspiracy theories or try to parse why things are happening as they are. No, it is not the normal situation like with the LotR or AUJ but what of it? Do you want some kind of justice? Explanation and apology? What?But I guess this is as good a way to pass the time before the score's release as any.'Oh and you can say "I told you so" if the DoS is going to be a lousy score Stefan.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,338 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I doubt DoS is going to be a lousy score. I'm sure it will be very good, hopefully better then AUJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tannhauser 101 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 He wasn't present the day those photos were taken. And we know he had to go back to NY for a lecture. Bear in mind the sessions have been going on for some months. Shore was likely there for much of the scoring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Skywalker 1,882 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 i dont think so. he has never been shy on being photograped in sessions. and There is no mention of him being there from anyone. And the people involved cannot comment on it.I'm not going to award the success or lack thereof of DOS score to Pope that is for sure.

BLUMENKOHL 1,080 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I don't think that's a reasonable fear, Steef. This might just be the future of film scoring. If nothing else I would take a fresh and energized Shore over serving critiques over Skype to an in-person jet-lagged zombie Shore who hasn't slept in 48 hours to work on the score.

BLUMENKOHL 1,080 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I think he can judge the performance equally well. If Shore was in the room, then he would have headphones on.
