yeah, saw it a while ago... sad indeed... BoB's and Robin Hood are great scores

Did Mr. Kamen score "The Three Muskiteers"? That was a heck of a score and I thought it might be him (I saw a bit of it on TV.)

A very sad loss indeed. He seemed to be a very kind soul.

I did some orchestration for him a few years ago, and the way he worked was amazing. He'd look at the scene, ask for a click that hit a couple or three things, and then start playing. And he wouldn't look at the picture, but he'd hit the cues or get very close - i.e. the scene would be playing in his mind while he played.

Except that he wasn't just playing, he was really writing in real time. He'd make a few more passes over the cue - which he remembered completely from beginning to end - and then when it was done, hand it off to an orchestrator to take down and possibly tweak.

The next day he still remembered every note. Yeah, composers build up a vocabulary, but this was much more than that.

This was sad, I had no idea. He was a genious, I love his works. We have alot to learn from him. Question: The robin hood theme is used on a logo, I thought it was Universal but it isn't. Anyone who knows where this theme is used(which logo?) Other than in the film Robin Hood...

he did the new line logo

I like his commentary on the Frequency DVD

Makes me want to throw away all my giga rig and compose on a laptop, on a boat, with GM sounds..... ok maybe not the GM sounds [:)]

I'm even shocked too. More I can't say about it. All over the years he was a guarantee for high astonishing compositions, no matter if it was for film or for a rock band like Metallica, who wanted to stop the whole project first.

I think he will continue living in our minds!

oh yeah! Thanks.

Does anyone know what kind of keyboard Kamen used in his studio? Or hans Zimmer for that sake?

I've noticed his music over the years and how he was able to work in radically different media, from classical to rock to film. For a musician to be this open-minded and talented is rare and inspiring.
