Buster Keaton's "Neighbors" original film score by Redhooker

Yaybahar by Görkem Şen

moonsammy says...

I could see this being an excellent instrument for film scoring. Wouldn't work as well in an orchestral setting. The reverb appears to have a specific frequency which would severely limit the tempo of any collaborative effort - it would need to match or be a multiple of the yaybahar's inherent beat.

Need Help From Music Nerds/Lovers (Music Talk Post)

chingalera says...

I had the same, initial feeling I had heard a familiarity in the segment and I believe that's all it might be. The riff is so simple and common a measure in so many film scores and especially in songs where a simple piano measure introduces an initial thematic vibe for the entire work...usually because the piano player is mediocre or honed their skills by ear on a synth used to broaden the sound of a standard rock ensemble.

You're obsessing man, all you can hope to net from this is that pressure between your eyes and ears that won't go away until you STOP THINKING ABOUT IT!!!!

The Best of Danny Elfman's Film Scores

Movie Openings That Play With The Studio Logo.

But Sunshine was a crappy film, while Kick-Ass was awesome!
Also,, John Murphy redid the music for Kick-Ass, as you can hear that this version is different (in the small details) than the Sunshine one - at least the one you linked.

Argh, no! Sorry, but one of my pet peeves is giving musical credit to whom it's due in film scoring... Adagio in D Minor was first written by Underworld and John Murphy specifically for the OST of the magnificent and underrated film Sunshine by Danny Boyle.
It has since been "stolen" to score a myriad of other films/trailers/series (e.g. Kick-Ass, The Adjustment Bureau, Fringe, etc etc). It has a history akin to Clint Mansell's RFaD score; created with a specific film in mind, beautifully fitting, then reused for other films with mixed results. I love it when great music gets around, but I do find it a bizarre experience when I'm watching a film and all of a sudden the music of another comes on... kind of breaks the suspension of disbelief quite frankly.
/nerd rant
edit: "Super" > Kick-Ass (even though the latter was a fun watch too)

Loved the music from Kick-Ass.

You're a really smart guy and from all accounts pretty darned talented, so I really don't understand this almost obsessive loathing that you have for anything that remotely resembles a group effort, i.e. collectivism. If I didn't hope to have a beer with you and "tie on one" someday I wouldn't even bother responding to your anti-collectivist, lone cowboy diatribes.

I think you're...kind of shooting yourself in the foot by ascribing a blanketed evil intent on everything that seems to involve two or more people working together to achieve a common goal.

I mean, even your movie, man. Look at your movie. You didn't do that all yourself. You couldn't have. You probably did a lot of it, and I'm not diminishing that effort, buy if it were left to you and only you to write, direct, produce, perform in, light, record, film, score, edit, and promote...you'd be working on it to this very day, and it wouldn't be nearly as good. And that kind of cooperation, that group effort for a greater good, applies to almost everything, not just movies.

And I'll make you a bet, anything that you can name, any goal, any achievement that you think you and I could do on our own, if I have one person to help me in reaching that goal, I'll get there before you. If I have ten people I'll get there even faster. And if I have a hundred, faster and greater still.

I know I'll lose some of those bets, but I'm confident that I'll win enough of them to make that loss insignificant.

Gonna watch "The Hurt Locker" tomorrow. Looking forward to it.

Hmmmm. A lot to digest there, Kubrick.

Sort of neutral on J.D. Salinger. Only read Catcher in the Rye and one of his short stories, Banana Fish. I heard rumors that he and Thomas Pynchon were one in the same, and I really enjoyed Gravity's Rainbow, but I doubt the rumor was true after just now googling it.

Terrance Malick I really, really, really fucking like. I thought The Thin Red Line line was sublime. The New World, Days of Heaven, Badlands...I genuinely loved each and every one of those films. Each would deserve a post of its own for me to share my critique. The man has a gifted eye.

Gilmore Girls? Maybe I'll check it out. Doubtful. I really thought you knew me better than that, because from your description, it's not my kind of show at all. I don't really watch much television, especially series oriented shows. I only watch it now because I'm living with mamason and the thing's almost always on, or tempting me to turn it on. When I finally sell the house and get the fuck out of Roswell, I won't have a television in my home for a long, long time, not even for Netflix vids.

Few people detest...nay, despise the "corporate cog" scene more than I.

I thought you would have known that by now, too.



I was being facetious. I know you aren't the type to like Gilmore Girls, that's why I used them as an example, because they were so typical American fluff with typical pro-topical issues storylines. Entertainment Weekly and Time Magazine thought the show was fantastic. How lame is that? And they like it for its quick dialog. Really?

My point was that just because you're not pro-social doesn't mean you're wrong. There are a lot of great people who were recluses, and that is distinctively not pro-social behavior. The get along gangs need us contrarians. We like individualism over collectivism. Martin Luther King Jr didn't ask that we judge a group by the content of their character.

Starwars, solo.

All the VST's I currently use sound really good With Manny of them used in Chart music and some Game/film scores

Granted over the last 6 years i have probably spent over 1,000 on music software But its all worth it as it as you only have to produce 2 hours of music to have repaied that cost and u have complete freedom to make any sound you want ie a full production setup.

Other than the lay out and automation for playing stuff live these eltrnom organ synths seem very impractical, Expensive and large. watching people play it its not that remarkable as any one can learn how to play an instrument to a reasonable standard within 6 years. ( if you go on you tube u can watch many clips and see how these work to see its not that remarkable to play something like Jurassic park / star wars theme ) , no more remarkable than jumping a motocross bike getting a 2.1 degree , winning some county level tennis matches.


the problem with music instrument industry is its full of pompous twats that buy into all the overpriced shit , its like photography to some existent where it costs me £50 to get something for my canon SLR that is cheep and mass produced.

The Persuaders! Theme (Tony Curtis & Roger Moore)

mintbbb says...

Thanks for the promote!

Digging more infro from WikiPedia:
'John Barry, OBE (born John Barry Prendergast on 3 November 1933 in York, England) is a renowned Golden Globe and five-time Academy Award-winning English film score composer. He is best known for composing 11 James Bond movies and was hugely influential on the 007 series' distinctive style.

One of Barry's most well known compositions is the theme for the 1971 TV series The Persuaders!, also known as "The Unlucky Heroes", in which Tony Curtis and Roger Moore were paired as rich playboys solving crimes. The score for the series was composed by Ken Thorne.The theme went on to be a hit single in some European Countries and has been re-released on collections of 1970s disco hits.'
