There's a whole bunch of fantastic composers out there -- whether it's in Norway, South Korea or France. Or take a look at the American indie scene. Great stuff there too (Johnny Jewel's LOST RIVER is a personal fav of mine this year).    Posted:   Jul 3, 2015 - 1:55 PM     By:   SchiffyM   (Member) i don't care whether or not it's orchestral, its more talent and a distinctive voice i want I completely agree with that. My issue is not that current composers can't step up to the plate, it's that distinctiveness is generally stomped out of film music along the process. Films are factory-constructed to look a certain way, have a certain pace, and sound a certain way. Which is why composers like Shaiman, Goldenthal, and to some extent Horner before his death have sat out for the last several years. And yes, Thor, I'm talking about mainstream American films here (not just blockbusters, though). And you're right, of course, interesting things can and do go on outside of this. But the original question was who "could lead Hollywood," and on this to-some-extent mainstream American message board, mainstream American films and their scores get the lion's share of discussion.     General Discussion: Current composers who can step up to the plate.    << < 1 2  >   Go to page:  1 2   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2
