Popular Post filmmusic 1,823 Posted February 15, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 15, 2014 Thought to start a seperate thread here for this upcoming release, after the news given by the publisher in the Batman thread! You all might be excited to hear that Omni just got permission to make the score to "The Matrix" available. Starting on it now, not sure when it will be finished, but if you've signed up to the newsletter you'll be notified when it's ready for purchase.http://www.jwfan.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=24140&p=982073 Sharkissimo, Joe Brausam, crocodile and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giftheck 916 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 I wonder if there's anything there that is previously unheard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisAfonso 186 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Ordered it immediately. Somehow the shipping costs have doubled since Batman... I hope there's a sensible reason for that (bigger book maybe?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedBard 71 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 I don't see how it's bigger. The dimensions are the same.In fact, it's got fewer pages than Danny Elfman's "Batman" score from the same company.Maybe Warner Bros. just wants more royalties.Will have to give second thoughts about ordering it.

I hope there's a sensible reason for that (bigger book maybe?).How much is it to Austria Chris?it's $66 to Greece.oh, never mind. I just changed the country and checked for myself. It's the same!

RedBard 71 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 I'm personally still frustrated that Omni can't renew the rights to resell another 100 copies of Edward Scissorhands (and for reasons that Fox Film Corp. has refused to disclose).But I'm not going to let that ruin my fun over wanting to get The Matrix score.

filmusicfan 24 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Hi All,Omni Music owner here.Yes, there's been some upset over the increased international shipping cost. Here's the reason:Batman shipped outside the US under a 1st class shipping rate, the lowest rate available, which does not include tracking, nor insurance. I went with this rate to be as accommodating as possible. As a consequence, MANY books were lost or reported undeliverable, with no ability to recoup cost. I didn't want the same problem that occurred for Batman to present itself for The Matrix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisAfonso 186 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Thanks for clearing that up! I understand this is the better option for all involved (sadly, including customs ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't want the same problem that occurred for Batman to present itself for Matrix.I bought BATMAN, it cost already a fortune but it arrived good and safe in Europe. Why should I pay inefficiency for the rest of the world?Sorry but THE MATRIX shipping costs actually prohibitive. I'll wait for Xmas as well. And if it is already sold out, good for Omni.

ChrisAfonso 186 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 My copy arrived today, that was fast! And somehow customs didn't want any fee, unlike last time, even though the price of the book was the same and with the increased shipping costs. So all in all I didn't pay more than for Batman, but with a severely reduced shipping time.After a first quick browse through the score it looks very polished, looking forward to reading along with the recording . Nice introduction to the main motives and unusual percussion instruments, too.Also, thanks to Tim for the prompt responses to my emailed enquiries! I hope there are more great scores in the pipeline for the future... and hopefully, someday an international run of Edward Scissorhands.

Sharkissimo 1,973 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 For those who have the book, what does Davis say about the recurring canon-like textures in the score, and those atonal piano lines. What was the compositional process behind them? Who first came up with the bowed styrofoam cup (it's used in ALIENS)? What synths/samples were used in the prelays (there's a cool flanging synth associated with the Agents)? Do I have to wait until December 25th to find out?

Trent B 337 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Then of course there's the solo boy soprano which was used in Revolutions then copied in multiple films after that (The Day After Tomorrow). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I have to wait until December 25th to find out?If you're referring to the instroductory text, it's not by Davis (unless he speaks of himself in the third person ). The text only describes the way the mentioned motives are constructed, not the process of creating them (sorry to disappoint). The synth sounds are just described in a general way where they appear ("rusty spoke", "deep hit", "brooding pad", "inverted cymbal" etc.).

(or in Lord of the Rings)70 years of film music before that and noone used a boy soprano?it can't be..hmmm.. let me think.well, alien 3 features a boy soprano too (and shadowlands a year after), but I guess there are definitely earlier scores that have used this too.
