Ok… After listening to my Serenada Schizophrana cd, I went back on Imax’s official website for the movie Deep Sea 3D http://www.imax.com/deepsea/
I know the music in the movie is an adaptation of Elfman’s Serenada, but I also know that Danny has written some original music for the movie itself. If you go on the web site, you’ll be able to listen to bits of elfman’s music, and NONE OF IT is from Serenada Schizophrana. For example, there’s a part with bells and a choir that is just AMAZING, and it’s not part of the Serenada piece…
Does anyone know how much original music Danny has written for the movie ?
Do you guys think we’ll be able to get it on cd sometime?
Or maybe a DVD release, with a music-only track???-Eric
I’ve seen DEEP SEA 3D twice. It uses the themes from Serenada, but really rethinks the music: Everything thing is reorchestrated and completely reconceptualized. There are many new motifs and textures in there too which are unique to DEEP SEA. It should not be mistaken for a hack cut-n-paste job: It certainly isn’t that.
Elfman wrote about 25 mintues for DEEP SEA and Debra Lurie was responsible for about 10 additional minutes of adaptations (the more literal quotes from Serenada as well as some additional music). Her contributions blend seemlessly with what Elfman did himself, and I dare anyone to spot which cues are hers.
Lurie actually has done similar work recently on CHARLOTTE’S WEB.
Elfman originally recorded in March, but it was always planned to come back in the fall and do some pick-up sessions. Lurie adapted some of the cues that no longer matched the edit of the final film.Anyway, back to DEEP SEA… several IMAX scores have been released on CD, so I don’t see why this one wouldn’t be. Elfman CDs typically sell well, so there’s certainly a buck to be made. There may have been some issue about not wanting the release of DEEP SEA to clash with the release of Serenada, so it could still be a ways off, but I suspect it will come out sooner or later (that is, assuming the movie stays in circulation!)
