It's safe to say that the parts of the score that required orchestra were already recorded before the lockdown. Göransson has mentioned that sessions had already taken place for strings and brass, and an update at the end of July revealed that he had finished working on the score around that time. Given his track record he probably spent a couple of months mixing what was already recorded a while back with electronics and studio work. I'm expecting the score to be largely electronic anyways, but we shall see. Leave it to Göransson to make it interesting! I'm more interested in recording for season 2 of The Mandalorian, as sessions will have to take place, if at all, under the current restrictions. There's plenty he can do from his studio, but the orchestra simply cannot be replaced. Edmilson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious because our tastes are often quite similar from what I've seen, but I really enjoy most of LG's work so far. Oh, where to start? He's a bit like Giacchino, in a way. His scores are 'well-produced', with lots of big chord leaps, rhythmical figures and the like (which fans latch on to), but are really empty and vacous in content. Both in terms of melody and dynamic range. I just don't get what people hear in scores like the CREEDs or BLACK PANTHER. Occasionally pretty 'surface' noodlings, but going nowhere fast. I either find it perfectly mediocre or gratingly annoying, and almost always sounding like second-rate Bill Conti (even THE MANDALORIAN has this). And then - like with Giacchino again - I get extra annoyed when people fawn over his stuff. To me, it's just a classic example of "The Emperor's New Clothes". But I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. Perhaps a visionary Nolan flick is what he requires to find the proper inspiration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chen G. 3,943 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Oh, some of the early reviews for Tenet are not pretty: https://www.indiewire.com/2020/08/tenet-review-1234581454/ https://www.theguardian.com/film/2020/aug/21/tenet-review-christopher-nolans-thriller-is-a-palindromic-dud The New York Times is more complementary, but still decidedly ho-hum. I typically wouldn't give such reviews much notice, had they not fell in-line with what I've experienced with some of Nolan's big spectacles: namely, the "puzzle" of the film (and, in his bigger outings, the action setpieces and large-format photography) superceding the emotional involvement in the story.
