Fuck Görannson. Given my reputation in Ghent, I'm seeking some awards myself.

Alas, I can't afford any travelling abroad for the foreseeable future, but should be good, LSH! Rombi and Horner concert. Enjoy!

We are thrilled to share some exciting news with you!

I liked Goldenthal's Alien3 and Batman Forever, but never the whole thing, just some major parts of it. That is my issue with Goldenthal. I never managed to like a whole score, just the lyrical orchestral parts. When it came to his techno and ambient parts, which are there in almost each of his scores, then I am out.

Often his music feels a little random and too dissonant to me.

 

I never managed to get into his music overall as a pure musical listen.

Although I've already seen Goldenthal in Ghent years ago, it's a nice addition to the event. Surely another good reason to go, for those (unlike me) who can afford it.
