Friendly question: do you think this is not emotional? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0kGAz6HYM8 question 2: do you think this is not original? (talking about imagination). IMO it is a very dramatic piece and I havent heard something like this (sorry if there was something similar and I havent heard it yet). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imamcajBEJs&feature=related rgds :)
Dramatic? Ok then. That's great if you're just a member of the audience and a musical moron at the same time. Haven't seen the film but the music is just the same. Chord, chord, chord chord etc with no real justification about anything. It's about as dramatic as my asshole during a fizzy fit of gastro enteritis. I get worried about chords that people think are marvellous. I can write chords. But I can't write this.
master of minimilsm in film is Bernard Herrmann. But what you have to understand is that Herrmann defines minimilism in film. Psycho is minimilism. Chord chord chord chord fucking chord is just that, A collection of chords played on a synthesizer and idiot children think it's great because they're idiot chidren with no education or imagination. And that's great because why frighten musical morons with something difficult.
I have very little interest in films today. Last night I watched Fallen Angel from 1945. Ever seen that? Know who did the score? It's not a great score and film noir can be weird but you may as well listen to Raksin as anyone else writing for film today. Most people today would s h i t themselves if they sat next to someone who can actually play an instrument really well. People walking the street with day jobs are better players than most of the bozos who write for film. You need to understand that. I know children aged 12 that play keyboards in the way that guys like Hans Z can only dream of.
