Manakin Skywalker 1782 Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Well there goes 75% of my enthusiasm. However I will admit I am not in any way familiar with any of his music. Still not enthusiastic about this choice. Link to post Share on other sites

Very much interested in seeing how it turns out. I am also surprised. There are big names attached to this, at least "bigger" than expected names. Goransson comes as a surprise after other SW television composers, with all respect to Kiner who is perfectly suited for the likes of Clone Wars and Rebels. Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post crocodile 4965 Posted December 20, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 20, 2018 Black Panther...and both Creed scores. The latter ones show that he can write and really properly develop a theme. I think the main Creed theme consists of no fewer than 3 sections. It's first rate stuff and he runs with it.

Pieter Boelen 626 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Honestly, the guy doesn't seem like a bad sort. Clearly puts some thought and effort into what he does; and he likes using different styles. Means we've got no clue what he'll come up with for this one, but chances are he'll give it a good shot.

Karol The ability to write a good theme is a more important quality in a Star Wars composer than being able to exactly replicate Williams' style IMO Now I'm not saying that Haab CAN'T write a good theme or anything but none of the Battlefront melodies were all that hot (particularly that main melody from the first game, which becomes really grating after a couple renditions). crocodile and Holko 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Manakin Skywalker 1782 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 The episode they showed at Celebration had music, so I'm assuming he at least scored the first episode either very early this year or late last year. Link to post Share on other sites

Manakin Skywalker 1782 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 They showed a promo on the livestream, but they showed part of the episode (not the full episode, my mistake) behind closed doors.

Manakin Skywalker 1782 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 They added some new credits to the music section on IMDB I noticed. A few familiar names in there of course. Mark Graham and Pete Anthony are the conductors (which leads me to assume they're either using the Hollywood Studio Symphony or the London Chamber Orchestra, as I expected). Also Henri Wilkinson is one of the orchestrators (additional composer for Star Wars: Battlefront and Star Wars: The Old Republic). Link to post Share on other sites

Disco Stu 10586 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 The LA Times published a long profile of Göransson and the score https://www.latimes.com/lifestyle/story/2019-11-01/composer-ludwig-goransson-music-sounds-black-panther-disney-star-wars-mandalorian Quote The way I approached it was to try something completely different. The loneliness of a single solo flute. The bass recorder became the sound of the Mandalorian. That’s how I started. ... I wanted the core soul to be organic. Then I wanted to add a tech sound to it. And I also wanted to add on a cinematic orchestra, which makes it feel like ‘Star Wars.’ ” Sounds like he’s trying something pretty different from imitating Williams, which is only a good thing IMO mstrox and The Illustrious Jerry 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Manakin Skywalker 1782 Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 I'm cautiously optimistic about the score. I've heard only a little big of Ludwig's music before, and wasn't that impressed. He's not a bad composer, just kind of... bland? Not sure if that's the word I'm looking for exactly. I just hope it sounds like Star Wars, and not Hans Zimmer / Junkie XL shit. Link to post Share on other sites
