Popular Post Brando 873 Posted December 18, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 18, 2022 I’ve been listening through all the older episodes, and the other day I listened to the one with Brett Mitchell, which was a really cool one because he talks about conducting the LTP’s, and if you remember, he brought up how he hadn’t met Williams at the time, and he really wanted to. Looks like he finally got that wish. mahler3, MrJosh, Jay and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tune in today at 7pm CET / 1pm EST / 10am PST (available at any moment immediately afterwards) This video is great! I was already traveling when it dropped so figured I wouldn't see it until I got home (did not want to watch it on my phone), but Maurizio was kind enough to show it to me and Jim Ware in his house. It was such a lovely tribute, I was moved many times. I hope everybody checks it out! mahler3 and TownerFan 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karelm 2587 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 The Gloria Cheng conversation was excellent! She's a lovely person. I took a masterclass with her about contemporary piano performance and thought she was so polished that I later asked her for advice on public speaking which she happily gave me tips about presentations. Aside from her being a wonderful person, she's a fantastic musician too! Anyway, I really enjoyed the podcast and look forward to hearing more from you. mahler3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mahler3 393 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I hope people enjoy this lighthearted conversation. Richard is always a joy to speak with and some of the audience questions are good. The full concert we speak of is also available to stream alongside some rehearsal clips. Take note of The Forest Battle trombone directions which are so important! Similar to the crucial drama of the T-Rex Finale! Here’s one more clip which is just for you! :-) E33EF2B2-FF1B-436B-BEE3-4384A86B1595.MOV Once and Oceadge 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brando 873 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Oh yeah, give me the stories!! Having Ramiro Belgardt on as a guest would be super cool as well. I know the editing process isn't always ideal, but it would be really awesome to hear him talk about working close with John and the filmmakers. thx99 and MikeH 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quppa 67 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Great episode - fascinating to hear about the engineering side of film scoring. thx99 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jay 31058 Posted Tuesday at 03:10 PM Popular Post Share Posted Tuesday at 03:10 PM This episode was really fantastic!! I quite enjoyed the entire episode, top to bottom, front to back. I think hearing the conversation between two dudes who started college on one path and ended up in another was really interesting, and it was so great to hear Adam talk about how his love of film scores let him right into his career; Just sounds so satisfying especially for people like me who have a career that "just" pays the bills, and gets way more satisfaction from what will forever remain "just" a hobby The discussion of various recording stages and various recording techniques was really interesting. As much as this podcast series has illuminated how the availability of specific performers has influenced Williams' writing, it's clear that the room a score will be recorded in and the expertise of the recording engineers plays a factor as well. It was interesting to hear them discuss how Williams worked with so many different engineers over the years, before finally finding a real groove with Shawn Murphy. I especially enjoyed the discussed of the transition period from analog to digital, that kind of stuff is really interesting to me. It was such a gradual process, changing from score to score, from engineer to engineer, room to room, composer to composer. In the end I'm quite glad Williams held on to recording to 2" tape for as long as he did, since some scores during this period are locked to ridiculous bitrates by jumping on digital too soon (Kamen's X-Men was recorded natively at 44.1khz, for example). And the clips chosen by Maurizio are perfectly chosen and placed! They really augment the conversation perfectly. I especially enjoyed hearing Randy Kerber's cool, slow version of Galaxy's Edge! I can't even remember now if that's commercially released or not, but it should be! That NBC News piece included was amazing as well, am I nuts or is that not available anywhere else? thx99, Brando, ConorPower and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thx99 1472 Posted Tuesday at 03:58 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 03:58 PM It's so great to hear the positive feedback on this episode with Adam, @Jay!! I was thrilled when @TownerFan agreed to move forward with it and even more so that he allowed me to participate. I tried to sneak in some tech talk but didn't want to go overboard, in case it turned off the listeners. I couldn't agree more with @TownerFan's selection and placement of the musical clips, especially the 2nd movement of "Concerto for Trumpet and Orchestra", which really was the surprise highlight of my experience at the recording sessions for the Hooten EP. 31 minutes ago, Jay said: I especially enjoyed hearing Randy Kerber's cool, slow and slinky version of Galaxy's Edge! I can't even remember now if that's commercially released or not, but it should be! It has not been commercially released but Adam added it to his SoundCloud page several years back... He treated me to a playback of this piece as well as several of Kerber's market cues (with Adam's added vocoder elements) that he discussed in the podcast in February 2020 at Hollywood Scoring, weeks before the pandemic hit. Of course, it was just a few days after I had visited Disneyland with @Dr. Know and his wife, and I didn't key in on Kerber's arrangement/music during my time spent in Galaxy's Edge. 31 minutes ago, Jay said: That NBC News piece included was amazing as well, am I nuts or is that not available anywhere else? I thought that the version of "Meet the Press" that Adam shared with us to include in the podcast had not been heard anywhere else outside of portions appearing in various NBC featurettes about the 2004 sessions that Adam mentioned, but it seems that an extended version or separate longer take has been on the Network News Music since 2005: https://www.networknewsmusic.com/meet-the-press-2004-theme/. Adam's version is higher-quality than the one featured there, however. That site includes some other selections from those 2004 sessions, most famous of them being the theme Williams wrote for a new show to be hosted by Tom Brokaw which has been dubbed the "Rodeo" theme by some (I believe that this is an edit that @King Mark put together from various NBC behind-the-scenes videos back in the day): https://www.networknewsmusic.com/today-2004-bumper/ Amer and Jay 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 31058 Posted Tuesday at 04:16 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 04:16 PM Right, I knew Kerber's version was on Soundcloud (it's mentioned in the episode), I just couldn't remember if Disney had finally gotten around to putting more park music out officially, like as a digital album on all the platforms. They really should! Thanks for the explanation of Meet The Press! It's great to have a new, nice, high quality version now! thx99 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
