Dixon Hill 4,233 Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 When Zimmer does the quasi-Ligeti thing, it's ok. Better than when most composers do similar imitations. But I think I prefer his purely electronic gnarly moments, just because they're more definitively "him." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KK 3,307 Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 3:41-5:14 One of Newman's finest moments: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon Hill 4,233 Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Newman is a master. But that mastery is so diffused over his body of work. There's so much subtlety around the sheer perfect moments. Not that I dislike his brand of subtlety, but I crave one "big" Newman score that defines him aesthetically, that brings all of his good stuff together into one really tight package.

KK 3,307 Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Ah yes, the all-too-elusive, ultimate "defining" Newman score. It's one of the reasons his modern scores can be frustrating in a sense, that his brilliance and mastery of colour and harmonic language only comes in relatively fleeting doses. With that said, I think Road to Perdition remains one of his most accomplished works, in the sense that it feels far more honest to Newman's true voice than his latest proceedings. I'd also argue Angels in America comes close closer to the mark of that "ultimate" Newman package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Perrinzki 8 Posted May 8, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted May 8, 2016 Hello all! First post in the forums; have been lurking from some time now. One of my favourite short musical moments comes from Austin Wintory's magnificent score to the video game "Assassin's Creed: Syndicate", in the cue "I Would Have Created a Paradise". The passage, starting from 3:07 until 3:42, first presents a variation on the cue's main action motif (which is also the villain's theme) on solo cello, which then veers off into a vicious melodic dance. At 3:23, the cello reaches a brilliant rendition of the score's main theme, a memorable melody which starts on a distinctive octave-down two-note line. Here, though, only the primary phrase is stated, before the cello unleashes in some incredibles arpeggios, counterpointed by dense, falling harmonies on the brass with string accents, resisting easy harmonic resolution or conventional progressions. Overall, this score is an incredible excercise in compositional intricacy and artistry. Cerebral Cortex, Dixon Hill and publicist 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loert 2,510 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 6:42 - 6:55: A refreshingly sweet moment contained within a robust, heroic battle track. One thing David Arnold managed to do well with this score was tightly structure his music, often employing four-bar or eight-bar phrases, which gives the music a good sense of logic and grounding away from the screen (another good example of this is the build-up when we see people's faces look up to the sky as the huge Destroyer comes in over NY). Also, notice how that glockenspiel keeps returning up till 7:54...I like to see this as a glimmer of hope shining amidst all the chaos!

Cerebral Cortex 3,357 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 0:59 - 1:34 of Flies and Spiders from The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. This bit of music corresponds to the point in the film where Bilbo peaks his head above the treetops and takes a moment to experience the wonderment of his surroundings before ultimately spying the Lonely Mountain in the distance. It's one of those small quiet moments where we get to see the characters themselves in awe of Middle-earth, and is a type of instance I wish the series had chosen to have more of. Goes without saying that the music accompanies it perfectly. Jay and SafeUnderHill 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixon Hill 4,233 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Starting at 4:09, that wild section with the gnarly woodwinds. That's like a "bloody hell, I knew you had this kind of thing in you Big G, so why don't you break it out more?!" moment. It's not even ruined by the too-swingy motive that pushes most of the credits along, the bah-duh-duh, duh, dah-duh thing. That's one of the issues I have with a lot of his music, it's just too easy to dance to, too often carrying an almost Latin or Big Band flavor. I mean I don't begrudge the guy his style, but that usually makes it tough for me to get into much of his output. Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jilal 569 Posted June 20, 2016 Author Share Posted June 20, 2016 The wild counterpoint between the brass and woodwind sections is strikingly Northian indeed. Definitely my association as well. There's another moment in Metaboles with staccato muted trombones that reminds me of 2001's The Bluff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loert 2,510 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 30:55 - 31:13 - that usage of the descending 4-note figure, especially when the cellos join in at 31:01. Not to mention that Kleiber handles this moment wonderfully, with the most subtle of subtle accelerandos creating a sense of drive without exhausting the musical "fuel".
