AC1 3,565 Posted February 2, 2004 Author Share Posted February 2, 2004 I'll give him a piece of music I wrote so he'll use it in The Terminal performed by a real orchestra.

Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 We should send JW a JWFAN t-shirt. . ..it'd be cool if we could all have our names on it tooIt would honestly be really cool if we sent him something like that . . . something with a collective message from all of us, or even individual little messages. I don't know if a shirt would be best, but it's definitely a good general idea. We would finally be noticed by the Master (if we haven't been already), and we'd be showing him our immense appreciation. Though to digress, a JWFan T-shirt could be pretty cool (relatively speaking ).Ray Barnsbury-who knows that Mugglenet has site T-shirts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be really cool if we could change the past and give him yet one or two more Oscars for scores he deserved to get it for.And that T-shirt idea is possible to be carried out I believe. We'll all send whatever we desire to appear on the t-shirt --in a scanned form-- to someone who'll be able to "copy" it on it and then forward it to JW himself...

Shame you're not coming, Ren, but JW's 2005's London stop is likely one and my only (and last?) chance to see and hear maestro in concert, live and present, and perhaps some JW members will show up there as well.B-day present, ---. how about men's peignoir instead of T-shirt? He'd be wearing it so much more often that the T-shirt and it would leave for us a lot more space for our names and messages to be put on it. like in "Stepmom", some wizard cloak could be cool , too.;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as they don't generate artificial sounds on it to make it the core of the score. Plus, I have nothing against Zimmer, but one Hans is enough for me.

Yoda Longbottom 0 Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 I understand what you mean.I have a tremble when I see that these days they're prevailingly using computers to store recorded cues in it, and they even mix and edit it in/with computers. I hope the music doesn't get any synthesized and thinned, you know, there is no harm upon the final sound, right? I mean, when I think of music stored in a file in computer, I picture digitalized pixels and stuff like mp3 and such and in connection with music it awes me. I'm old-fashioned, yeah.
