#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I wonder what exactly he did? Just scribble down a few themes and ideas and then hand over to Beltrami, or did he actually compose to picture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Ware 526 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 @jimjware @ScoreAndOST Sources say that Glass sent in a small "Piano idea" and that's it. No real collaboration whatsoever.— HQCovers (@anakin022) June 24, 2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Ware 526 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 No idea. I have heard conflicting rumours.@jimjware @ScoreAndOST Actually no The director asked Beltrami to work with Glass, because "that one Piano piece of his sounded awesome"— HQCovers (@anakin022) June 24, 2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Ware 526 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Would a "small piano" idea be enough to get a "Music By Philip Glass" credit? Wouldn't that give us something like "Music By Marco Beltrami - Small Piano Idea By Philip Glass"? It depends on how good his agent is at cutting a deal.@jimjware @ScoreAndOST Glass was so upset by this that he sent in a shit-easy Piano motif within a day as sort of a "musical joke"— HQCovers (@anakin022) June 24, 2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jilal 569 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 One really could only wish Glass composed for films like this one. I'd be far more curious to hear a score of his for any action film than for a more 'serious' effort at cinema. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Ware 526 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 It'd just sound the same as any of his other scores.Yes, because Mishima, Kundun, Koyaanisqatsi and The Secret Agent all sound exactly the same.

Sharkissimo 1,973 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I like the Prelude. As per usual with glass that language is fairly circumscribed--I can forgive Koray for conflating Mishima, Kundun and The Secret Agent--despite the contrasting orchestration they occupy a similar harmonic world. Standard Glass in this track--cyclic transformations, common third progressions and so on, but that polychord at 0:36 is refreshing. At last, a non-triadic sonority... moments like these should be embraced. Rest of the score sounds promising. At least the non-action bits.

Matt C 455 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 It sounds so unorthodox and at the same time, very refreshing. Should be interesting to hear how it plays in the actual film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,716 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Well this is curious news. Philip Glass is one composer credit I didn't expect for the reboot of the Fantastic Four. I'll have to check out the samples when I get back home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jilal 569 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I'm impressed by the Prelude. Glass's minimalistic (although both rhythmically engaging and vividly colorful) approach seems quite adept for the silver screen of today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jilal 569 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 The polychord at 4:48 in the Prelude reminds me somewhat of the A#dim/E5 chord in Koechlin's Op. 18, especially when its lower spectrum becomes a bit clearer at 4:58. Are the two somewhat related? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkissimo 1,973 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 I hear at as a kind of amalgam of all three chords of the theme - Gm, F# and Em. Tritonal. Reminds me more of the opening chord from JP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharkissimo 1,973 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 The way the 12/8 meter is sub-divided in the Prelude is quite impressive. 1&2&3&-1&2&-1&2&-1&2&-1&2&3&Anyone else loving Baxter? Strong Glass influence here, if nothing else.And am I the only one who heard the synth at 2:06 (after the Dies Irae statement) in He's Awake and thought "Oh shit, it's Ark of the Covenant!"?

Jilal 569 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Personally, I hear it as 6/8 over 3/4 with 3/2 "dome" measures(*). I really like the (two?) synth patch(es?) in the Prelude, by the way. Does anyone here know how they might have been created, or are they unaltered presets from some of the regular software (Omnisphere, Zebra)?(*) /''''''''''''[3/2]''''''''''''''\ [6/8] - [6/8] [3/4] - [3/4] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jilal 569 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Well, it's Glass, so there's his unconventional sense of rhythm to be discussed.If you want to start a non-theoretical discussion parallel to this one, feel free to do so .How many people scored this?Any disclosure yet?

KK 3,307 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Wtf... Don't know. Don't remember them.After a first listen, I rather like it (especially the main theme, which unfortunately only flourishes in the last tracks of the album), though there is a lot of meandering stuff.I like how the main theme is drawn from Glass' piece. And how Beltrami uses the 12/8 rhythm in places here and there.But the album is too long. The major highlights are in the first half, and then the End Credits. Between that is a lot of meandering, though not entirely unpleasant at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
