Ollie 1,059 Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 I don't think anyone is proclaiming him to be great. He has shown alot of promise and is, in my opinion, the best of the current crop of new composers.The only people I see using the word great when talking about Giacchino are those who appear to be bitter about him actually having success or those who refuse to acknowledge his ability.And this is coming from an old geezer.

QMM 4 Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 The Medal of Honor Vanguard soundtrack is up on iTunes and it seems to be just a compilation of Giacchino's previous work except for one new track 'Operation Husky'I never really believed that he was actually scoring a new MoH but I guess this proves it.

Docteur Qui 1,544 Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 I'm still amazed how a composer can be called brilliant, on the basis of a few animated scores, 2 TV shows and a handfull of computer games.Do you not consider that, for those two TV shows alone, he's written over 100 hours of music? Entire careers can be based on that amount of music. But you're not talking about quantity...However, under your criteria, I do call him great. His music has moved me on several occasions, touched my heart frequently, and, incidentally on the two TV shows you mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2 NEW tracks on the Vanguard iTunes album is from MOH: Airborne which Michael wrote a completely new score for.BTW, Stefan, Michael has written more than just a hand full of TV scores, 2 animated films and few video game scores. I have over 45 titles of his in my collection from a wide range of films, games, concert works and TV projects. Michael has a ton of experience behind him and just because you haven't heard a majority of his work DOESN'T mean that he not "brilliant" or really Goddamn good at what he does.IMHO, I do think he is brilliant!-Erik-PS - Nice making of video from the Rat sessions.http://bvim-qt.vitalstream.com/Ratatouille...t_Pod11_med.mov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TownerFan 4,983 Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Very interesting video interview with Giacchino by popular online film critic David Poland. He talks about Lost, Ratatouille, his approach to scoring and various other things.Poland also raved about Giacchino in his Ratatouille film review. Here's the bit:Then there is the killer Michael Giacchino score, which is his most complex work to date, mixing up what seems like a half dozen major themes. While the score of The Incredibles (which should have won the Oscar that year) is all part of a whole, here Giacchino splashes together a wide array of ideas and musical references, not unlike Remy making a soup that will knock you out with one whiff. And like Bird, every time you think you are about to head over the cliff with something"too French" or "too cute," Giacchino brings you right back to something surprising and yet comfortable.

peterpandan 0 Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 I'm on the fence with Giacchino. He certainly has some talent but none of his music really does it for me. I am very familiar with all of his TV work, his short film stuff (at least some of it), all of his film music and have heard clips of this 'symphony' he composed. His music in film seems to fit nicely, however, the concert music I have heard of his has no advanced grasp of form. Concert music can reveal a composer's weaknesses in no time at all. Not to say that those composers who happen to write film music and are great at doing it can't be called great composers, but the Giacchino concert music I have heard is average at best. It's hard to judge a symphony without hearing the whole thing, but what I did hear was basic sonata form, which is ok, but it in no way pushed any envelope in the symphonic musical lexicon.Each is entitled to his opinion, and there is certainly a lot of his music that I like, but this does not mean, at least for me, that it's great music. It's entirely possible to love a piece of music that truly sucks as a composition. The chase through San Francisco cue from 'The Rock' by Hans ZImmer is a good example. I love this track, but it's horrible music. I wish people more often could separate great music from music that you love.My assessment of Giacchino's music as art is best summed up as music that sounds like a bad class composition exercise.
