The Force Awakens NEW Video: "The Sound of a Galaxy: Inside the Star Wars: The Force Awakens Soundtrack"

[crumbs 14,313]

Some Blu-rays (not many) feature a completely separate, clean audio track with only the score. No sound effects or dialogue, just music. The Alien Blu-ray set is a good example of this, containing both the original scores intended by the composer, and also a film version of the scores (which was radically different in the case of the first two films).

 

It's probably unlikely Disney will do this because it eats into sales of an inevitable soundtrack double-dip, but you never know!

Yeah, one would think it wouldn't be in the commercial interests of the studio to do this.

How do you 'isolate' the score? I've seen this dome a few times, but I though the music was always mixed permanently in with dialogue and effects.

 

The studios who make the film have each audio element separated, of course, so that's how they can put an iso score track on a DVD or BD.  Of course, you don't have to do it that way; Twilight Time will often use recording sessions to build an iso score track from that.

Realized something just now: all the bonus features of Disney Blu-Rays have 5.1 audio with the music 100% clean on the rear channels (I know that because I got some unreleased music from a few films that way), and now Star Wars is owned by Disney, so...

 

Wow, really!? Just imagine if they include a 3 hour long doco with clean music in the rear channels!

 

Let's just hope they mostly use TFA music and not OT stuff like in many featurettes.

 I can't wait to see next year's Oscar race when our talk is consumed with two octogenarian titans… Williams for The BFG and Morricone for Voyage of Time.

Why even discuss it it? Just hand JW the oscar now.

[BloodBoal 7,538]

Or rather Morricone.

[Joni Wiljami 1,206]

No. Williams will win this year and next year it is Morricones turn....to lose.

[zoltan_902 141]

And they say the Oscars are no longer based solely on creative merit. Funny that

A mind-blowing 3 minutes of video, it's changed my life.

And what did you do with your new found enlightenment?

[Quintus 5,399]

I put the bins out. 

[BloodBoal 7,538]

[Incanus 5,714]

I see you were completely revivified. It's what a 3 minute JW video does to you. With a 10 minute one you might have felt re-envigorated to the degree that it would have enabled you to take put the bins and make the bed and cook some dinner.

[BloodBoal 7,538]

[Quintus 5,399]

I sleep on a scale replica of the bed used in Superman 2.

You're a nice guy, richuk, and I like you, but using the "weird name" argument with Morricone is downright stupid!

 

I assumed it was a joke.

It's the only factor that matters! So many non-Americans with weird foreign names have beaten John Williams for the Academy Award. Luis Bacalov, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Tan Dun, Gustavo Santaolalla, Nicola Piovani, Jan AP Kaczmarek, Ludovic Bource, Howard Shore. The list goes on forever!

JW got robbed the oscar for Memoirs and Morricone got robbed the oscar for The Mission. Both loss to far inferior scores. Whose justice will be done this year?

 

If Memoirs would have been a better film, or at least a better received film, then we could enjoy the memory of celebrating his first win during this board's existence.

[Scarpia 132]

We'll celebrate on Sunday!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes, we will!

You are being fatuous as ever, but I have to say that these days I do find it rather emotional to see John Williams perform his music.

And as promo's go this was a good one.

[Jay 37,355]

It was really nice hearing him talk about the score too

[nightscape94 965]

Hear, hear.

Yes.  we have moved on to throwing temper tantrums anytime a JW fan gets excited about something related to JW.

The reaction of the guys in the background is quite amusing. Like they go "whoa!"

What's that dangling from his arm?

His skin.

My grandfather has one of those on his head.  Looks like a cyst that's been drained.  Nothing too worrisome.

Nonsense! Bond villains all wish Bond to die and Morricone to lose an Oscar.

A spare turtleneck, which he keeps on his shoulders.

This thread has everything!  Williams scoring stage antics, Williams being a Ridley fanboy, people getting pissed about excitement over something they deem inconsequential, people getting pissed at the people getting pissed about excitement over something they deem inconsequential, grammar/spelling wars, and worries about Williams' health.

I think we should have a John Williams body and cranial analysis thread to go into all these details and speculations.

It's like he's never seen Williams lift his right arm before.

Can't tell, if its unreleased it could be an alternate of Farewell and the Trip

John Williams IS Star Wars. It is nothing without him.

[Holko 9,526]

Great little tease. Hearing the Main Theme take made me even more curious why the one take which ultimately ended up in the movie and the soundtracks was the one which begins sounding like a MIDI synth mockup made by a complete beginner.

Williams lost to Santaolalla after winning both GG and BAFTA for Memoirs of a Geisha. What a travesty that was.

 

If any score should have gotten Williams his 6th Oscar, it was that one. Bloody shame indeed.

Are you sure it's a different take?
