Episode # 08: James Horner in Vienna (2nd International Edition)

Includes interviews with Horner, conductor/composer David Newman and concert producer Sandra Tomek. We also play many of the ACTUAL cues from the concert, the concert recordings. This is a must-listen, IMO!

AND it’s in English.

It was indeed mindblowing. I don’t know what more to add than hasn’t already been said (and the videos that you’ve posted to).

Check out my pictures here (also includes the Horner in Vienna bit):

I have already organized a pre-concert dinner (alas, the table has been booked with a set amount of people). But if it’s possible to find each other afterwards, we’ll be having a few night caps.

[Thor]

Will I be seeing you in London, DannyBiker?

Episode # 06: Horror! Friday 13th Special

Back to Norwegian — an episode of listenerfriendly horror music in celebration of Friday the 13th.

http://celluloidtunes.no/celluloid-tunes-06-skrekk-og-gru-fredag-13-spesial/

PLAYLIST:

HELLRAISER (Christopher Young)
SLEEPY HOLLOW (Danny Elfman)
PET SEMATARY (Elliot Goldenthal) — ok, maybe that one is not so listenerfriendly
THE OMEN (Jerry Goldsmith)
THE FURY (John Williams)
VAMP (Jonathan Elias)
MIMIC (Marco Beltrami)
SCREAM (Marco Beltrami)
NEAR DARK (Tangerine Dream)
THE NINTH GATE (Wojciech Kilar)

---

I must admit that I struggled a bit about which Elfman to choose – SLEEPY HOLLOW, DARK SHADOWS, NIGHTBREED or THE WOLFMAN.

[Thor]

Yeah, I like what I’m hearing.

More of the delicious, Glass-like minimalism we heard in STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE — which, incidentally, is one of my favourite Elfmans in the last 10 years.

Episode # 05: Women in Film Music

This is my first international episode in ENGLISH! So now you won’t have any excuses not to listen to it!

http://celluloidtunes.no/celluloid-tunes-05-women-in-film-music-1st-international-edition/

PLAYLIST:

A CLOCKWORK ORANGE (Wendy Carlos)
AMERICAN HISTORY X (Anne Dudley)
AN UNFINISHED LIFE (Deborah Lurie)
WHALERIDER (Lisa Gerrard)
WATERSHIP DOWN (Angela Morley)
MEMORIES (Yoko Kanno)
NICHOLAS NICKLEBY (Rachel Portman)
ISLAND OF LOST SOULS (Jane Antonia Cornish)
THE PROMISE (Debbie Wiseman)
BATMAN: MASK OF THE PHANTASM (Shirley Walker)

[Thor]

I seem to vaguely have heard that story before, but don’t know if there’s any truth to it.

The actor you’re thinking of is probably Bodhi Elfman, right — Richard’s son? He’s not only Jenna Elfman’s husband, but a reasonably famous guy in Hollywood now. He had a leading role as a rabbi in the Kiefer Sutherland series TOUCH — which was cancelled prematurely (pretty good show!).

[Thor]

If I’d known the extra dates, I would have gone to Glasgow instead of London. I’ve always wanted to visit Scotland (and Glasgow + Edinburgh). Oh well.

Yup, best wishes to Danny on the big day.

I just realized he’s 2 1/2 weeks younger than my own mother, who celebrated her 60th earlier this month.

You know what they say….life starts at 60!

[Thor]

Coincidence? I think not.

Would be nice to see it, but somehow I find the travel costs to Hong Kong slightly discouraging.

[Thor]

Yes, the list of his unreleased work outside the film business is piling up — especially in recent years.

[Thor]

I just realized that music clip is indeed from the Burton MOMA exhibtion. However, the score proper seems to be originally written (just watch a couple of other videos from the app game on Youtube).

[Thor]

That’s very cool….very much in the style of ThePianoGuys on youtube. The playing was a bit too staccato, but by God….still a great performance. And yes….that girl. Very hot.

[Thor]

I really dig this album. The 10-minute recording session track is particularly interesting, althoug mostly as a curiousity.

[Thor]

Yeah, I got my ticket yesterday! Can’t believe this is actually happening!

[Thor]

The concert is now sold out, except for some seats with obstructed views.

[Thor]

I got my ticket too, although I’ve been at work, so by the time I got home the best seats were taken.

I’m on the floor, 10 rows from the stage (A 10).

[Thor]

Thanks! A string quartet, eh? I hope it gets recorded somehow. The list of unreleased Elfman works (especially outside the film music arena) is getting longer every year.
