Yep, that's a great clip: 

 

 

 

Sigh, if only Kenny was around during the TROS mixing sessions. Nice of George to be open about redoing that scene, which sounds glorious in the final mix. Both score and SFX get their chance to shine.

 

It's interesting/sad that, even with JW attending mixing sessions for TROS (which is telling in itself), the score still got buried. Maybe he lost interest once he heard the extent of the butchery.

The most depressing part to me is the "suite scoring" that he talks about. Music can be applied anywhere today, it isn't really written for the scene. Composers just compose suits and editors just edit them in.

Yeah. I'm quite surprise then that there is not much composer/editor like Ottman, soon it might be the only way to do what you want with you're music.

Honestly I wonder what JW thinks when he hears new “cues” that consist of compiled 3-10 second micro edits of other cues.
