I've been going through a bit of a Varese kick these days and listening to Ameriques I hear so many scores that were clearly influenced by it

Poltergeist- Goldsmith (rhythmic and textural figures)
Planet of the Apes- Goldsmith (orchestration, sound masses)
Evil Dead- Banos (fire siren)
Dragonslayer- North (those rise chromatic wind figures and sound blocks, trilling brass figures)

Now this isn't the slag those composers or scores. On the contrary, it's amazing that some of Varese was able to make its way into popular film music.

Yes good one!

Thanks to this thread, I've been listing Varèse lately. You can't fail to notice how much influence he had on a young James Horner. Part of the brass in Krull, Star Trek II and of course Brainstorm, they all seem to benefit from Varèses harmonics.
