You wanna hear a fun piece that Tom Holkenborg (AKA Junkie XL) collaborated on with the wonderful Jan Hammer, and educate yourself?

If this is what it measn to be "Educated", I prefer to remain stone cold stupid. Hammer did consistantly better work than this by himself and on a short schedule for "Miami Vice".

I saw a press screening of the film earlier today. It's great, no question, but don't expect the extreme visionary qualities you see in the trailers. It's not QUITE there. Still, bloody good -- it's pretty relentless both in terms of visuals and sound.
Looking forward to seeing this on Friday! Thor, one of the reviews I read mentioned that the film makes interesting use of diegetic music. In particular, the reviewer mentioned a guitar warrior that basically "scores" an action sequence, mickey mousing the action. Is that actually the case? Sounded like a cool idea...

There is a guitar warrior, as well as four huge timpanis accompanying the gangs wherever they go (I'm guessing to boost the morale, a la Wagner in APOCALYPSE NOW), and it's a very cool aspect of the mise-en-scene -- however, a lot of the actual guitars are buried in the Atmos sound mix. That's one of my problems with this format -- it's all-over-place and like a wall of sound.

So far I've spent my day driving and working out to this score. It rocks. I think music like this works best in those active situations, and in this case actually propels me to go further in those routines (a lot like my experience with the Man of Steel score, which Holkenborg worked on). There's a fantastic, melodic, and somber score for the film The Better Angels by Hanan Townshend that released earlier this year. It's another favorite of mine from 2015, but it is music I use to engage my mind when in the creative process, or attempting to wind down for the night. I feel like our conversation on this board could go through some dramatic propulsion if we discussed exactly why we use this music in our daily lives.
I think I tried to go down that road once (what DO you use film scores for?), to the tune of no response - shocker....
Personally, I cannot really imagine sitting quietly in my music room, just listening to this, or the other MV styled scores of recent times. This type of stuff (Fury Road, Zimmer et al) mostly get play at the gym (cheers Nuts Score!) and while driving. When its Rozsa or Korngold time, then I tend to focus more and give it my undivided attention.
Fury Road is going straight to the ipod, then going 'on the road' after I see the film, taking this thing for a drive. Hopefully I can keep my lead foot under control, haha.....

And a salute to you, GoblinScore! I've just kicked up a new thread where I discuss some new releases and what they have meant to me. I would love to hear your thoughts as well as others!
