NeejaHalycon 0 Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 Hey, I was just watching an Alias episode, "The Getaway." It begins with a scene in a theater, where an old movie's soundtrack is used as source music. There's a fight, and the music transitions into soundtrack. My question is, does anyone know if Giacchino did work on this sequence? Or was the music entirely from the movie? (The credits don't mention the movie, and I haven't been able to find out what it was. It starts with a guy going into a detective's office and saying "I'd like to report a murder.")

Like Horners statement that there are only so many notes so some themes are bound to sound the same.Eh? But he was saying he likes having a varied assortment of scores under his belt, not apologising for them sounding the same.Sure, he's drawn influences from other composers in his work: Williams in Medal Of Honor (though with original themes, just similar orchestrations, right?), Barry in The Incredibles (though entirely intentional and with respect and humour), but what about Alias? Emulating Arnold's James Bond scores? I think Alias to varied to make such comparisons. And Call Of Duty? I'd argue that's an intelligent and highly original maturation of his Medal Of Honor scores.Sorry Stef, I don't get what you're trying to say.As for Giacchino's comment about "one's own style not necessarily being an asset", I think that's the sign of a man who knows the business and knows what people think of certain composers. The fact that he feels variation is the only way to keep his music interesting to him shows he has a passion for it too. Okay, Williams adapted his style endlessly for nearly 25 years, but if Giacchino feels change in each score is the only (and he said only, not best) way to keep it interesting for him, then so be it. He's an artist as well as a composer hired to score films and games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way to go Buysoundtrax! I mean, I just bought two scores (shipping excluded) for just a little more than the price of one CD here in Belgium.That is also the main reason why I ordered it, btw.

QMM 4 Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Just got Mercenaries in the mail (along with an extra copy of the cd booklet autographed by Tilton and Giacchino which I didnt know I'd get)The stuff so far is great! I really like the sound the Northwest Sinfonia is able to put out, very nice.I'll edit later with finished impressions after I'm doneMaxEdit: Ok, overall it's a great soundtrack, very much in the vein of the MOH scores.My fav tracks are the Main Theme, For the Motherland, Hidden Valley Bunker(the choral stuff halfway is fantastic), Relentless Pursuit, Explosion Scherzo, Thermal Event, Countdown and World's Best Carpool Lane This has one of the weirdest hidden tracks I've ever heard.......Max-Highly reccomends Mercenaries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
