Show Topic Request Thread

[cdouglas]

Hey folks,

Several show topic requests have all ready been scattered throughout this particular forum. Gabriel wisely suggested that a thread be created specifically for this purpose, so here you go.

Is there a particular show topic that you would like to hear? Obviously, I may not be able to grant every single request, but I'll do what I can.

So far, I believe we have requests for...

- Non-Hitchcock Herrmann
- Ridley Scott/Hans Zimmer
- Scores featuring the Theramin

What would you like to hear?

As i said before, just to throw it into the public forum: Orchestrated Video Game scores!

Marvel at the awesomeness that is Greg Edmonson's main theme for Uncharted: Drake's Fortune

[Gabriel Girard]

My new favorites Spike Lee\Terence Blanchard.

Maybe one about ''pop'' stars who wrote scores like Peter Gabriel, David Bowie, Björk, Clint Mansell (former Pop Will Eat Itself) or Quincy Jones.

Double Post Alert!

Jazz scores like:
Miles Davis - Ascenceur pour l'échafaud
Herbie Hanckock - 'Round Midnight
Howard Shore - Naked Lunch (featuring Ornette Coleman)

Just a note... another round of director/composer collaboration shows will be kicking off next week. If you've got a relationship that you'd like the show to explore that hasn't been done yet, submit your requests now!

[Gabriel Girard]

You could go for something more esoteric and do one about Herzog/Popol Vuh. I've already mentioned Spike Lee/Terence Blanchard; I only started to notice Blanchard's work late in the game... I'd also suggest one of my favorite team of all time - Cronenberg/Howard Shore.

[Michael Stailey]

On the more obscure front, you could do Marc Shaiman and Rob Reiner. While I wouldn't consider the collaboration the pinnacle of Marc's work by any means, I do feel his scoring is underappreciated by the soundtrack community.

Thanks for the suggestions, guys! Some of these will definitely be included in this batch.

If anybody else has a collaboration they'd like to request (or any other type of show theme, for that matter), this is place to do it! Let me know what you'd like to hear.

How about a show devoted to themes/music from 50's sci-fi flicks? Some of these are my favourites and bring back a lot of memories. Composers that come to mind: Hans Salter, Paul Sawtell, Leith Stevens, Herman Stein, and many more. Thanks!

Hey Clark,

Forgot to thank you for the Ridley Scott/Hans Zimmer goodness a few weeks back - i've got that episode saved on my computron.

Keep on rocking in the free world!

Strength and honor, Steve T. Power. Strength and honor.

How about a show about great B movie scores?

Beastmaster 2
Krull

etc

Hey Clark! I've got two suggestions that will probably be easy for you to fill. I know you love Jerry Goldsmith and I've recently seen Seconds which features a very memorable score - I'd love to hear more from him.

Same goes for Elliott Goldenthal - His score for Interview With The Vampire is a favorite , I just saw a few minutes of Titus but the score looks very promising.

Any excuse to do another Jerry Goldsmith show is an excuse I'll accept. I'll try to include some Seconds when I get around to that. And yeah, Goldenthal is fantastic. Titus is one of my favorite Goldenthal scores (and interestingly enough, it was shamelessly ripped by Tyler Bates for 300... so much so that it turned into a legal matter). I'll put both of these requests on the docket for the near future.
