ParticipantI saw it again, and there probably are 45 starts in there. They’re all just so non-descript you wouldn’t notice.
Major bummer, but this is at least a Burton movie that’s good and successful. I guess we can’t have everything.
I wonder if they’re on good terms after this.
ParticipantAstrid exploring the town and the dream sequence near the end were ripe opportunities to really establish a theme for her.
I really think this was all Burton. A mix of temp track love and wanting to make the movie as 70s in vibe as he could.
ParticipantJust remembered the Gramophone interview in which Elfman mentioned recording 45 cues for Beetlejuice 2.
I may well be wrong, but I don’t think there’s anywhere near that in the movie.
I’m seeing it again tomorrow.
ParticipantI’m conflicted.
I can’t imagine there’s anything more to say with this story, nor can I imagine it doing well or being well-received. Also, working with a director with a lot of allegations when you have allegations is a bad look regardless of whether either person is guilty or not.
On the other hand, for a composer, this must be as enticing as it gets. I also loved Desplat’s score for Valerian (another genre entirely, but hearing Desplat being allowed to be 100% Desplat on a big movie was a treat). I love Sleepy Hollow and Wolfman, and it’s been ages since Elfman scored a horror movie.
ParticipantTo be fair, he didn’t promote his Percussion Concerto/Wunderkammer release bar reposting Sony Classical once.
ParticipantI’d be surprised if Burton wasn’t temp-track obsessed with this one.
The best and most impactful cue is by another composer!
There was a cool cue for an awesome flashback sequence at least…
ParticipantI enjoyed the movie, but I don’t know if I’ve ever been more disappointed by a score in a movie. Elfman is given almost nothing to do. It reminded me of Big Eyes, to be honest.
Only a handful of cues made an impression, and most of those felt like riffs on cues from the original. All the quirk and colours were gone.
ParticipantMy gut says that The Actor didn’t work out though there has been radio silence on that movie.
Elfman was spotted at a place where they film stop-motion projects. I would presume this is for Rhona.
ParticipantDo you guys think this could be our last Elfman score?
ParticipantBurton has shot 2×01, 2×04, and he’ll be shooting 2×08 this month. Minimum of three episodes for this season.
ParticipantIt’ll drop unceremoniously at 12am on Friday like most score releases these days I’d wager.
Burton got his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame today. Seemed weird (though understandable) that Elfman wasn’t there.
ParticipantMain title is on the website.
ParticipantA court has tentatively granted Elfman’s motion of summary judgement in the Jane Doe case.
ParticipantParticipantProduced by Elfman.
ParticipantParticipantIn an interview with Gramophone, Elfman said he has recently finished scoring this.
ParticipantBurton is directing an unspecified number of episodes, including the season opener.
ParticipantElfman plans to release a new rock album late this year or early next. He also ‘will be doing shows In October in Los Angeles to support the new film Beetlejuice that will be released in September of 2024’.
Not sure what the latter means. Beetlejuice live-to-film?
ParticipantBurton is in Dublin to start filming season 2.
Participant‘Ohnaka Go Boom!’ is such a devastating cue.
ParticipantThis is just great stuff. It really holds up as a complete listening experience. Something interesting is always going on. I’m especially loving all the percussion dancing around my earphones and all of these bizarre noises that Elfman creates – it’s sometimes hard to tell what’s some odd percussion and what’s choir. Just fascinating stuff that’s simultaneously Elfman to its core yet something entirely unique in his discography.
An absolute must have.
ParticipantARE YOU LOST?
My first concerto was written for violinist Sandy Cameron. She had been besieging me for ages to write a duet for violin and voice. I finally relented on the condition that we add a piano and make it a trio. While talking about the project with two composer friends we all decided to write for the same trio for a collaborative project which will be called, appropriately, “Trio”. When I began discussing the possibility of recording the concerto and Wunderkammer with Sony Classical they suggested that I include something that had never been performed. It was then I decided to take one of the 4 moments I’d written for “Trio” and to both expand and adapt it for choir and full orchestra. Thus, the origins of “Are You Lost?”
From the Amazon preorder link for the CD.
ParticipantWe're excited to unveil @dannyelfman's new album — "Percussion Concerto & Wunderkammer."
Recorded with percussionist Colin Currie, the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, and JoAnn Falletta, the first single is out now!
