I didn't want this thread to drop out of sight so soon, so I'm giving it a bump - even if I haven't much to say about lobsters.
Still, it was quite coincidental that just last week I was listening to the radio, and I caught a piece half-way through. It was a bit maddening, like Danny Elfman or Nino Rota, with strange changes from heartbreaking "traditional" sounds, to almost circus-like or carnival madness. Then it was identified at the end as being by Alfred Schnittke.
And I thought that it almost kind of reminded me of Alex North, in that you'll get the most incongruous style popping up out of the blue in so many scores. I've been listening to DRAGONSLAYER recently, and that (mostly unused) "Forest Romp" music drives me nuts. And then, in BITE THE BULLET there's that slapstick comedy cue. Other examples abound.
And so I was thinking, was Alex North a "deliberate polystylist"? That's all for now, sorry.
