  • 1. Sci-Fi and Fantasy
    How Film & TV Music Communicate – Vol. III – text copyright © 2015 Brian Morrell Chapter 1 SCIENCE FICTION & FANTASY This chapter deals in detail with the sci-fi / fantasy genre and analyses the music for a number of films where music plays an integral role in articulating the story and the underlying context and narrative. Films and music analysed include A Perfect Sense (Max Richter) Contagion (Cliff Martinez) K-Pax (Edward Shearmur) Limitless (Paul Leonard-Morgan) The Mothman Prophecies (Tomandandy) Shore) The 13 th Floor (Harald Klosser) Pleasantville (Randy Newman) Signs (James Newton Howard) The Adjustment Bureau (Thomas Newman) The Core (Christopher Young) The Village (James Newton Howard) Volcano (Alan Silvestri) The Event (Scott Starrett) Super 8 (Michael Giacchano) A PERFECT SENSE Max Richter A Perfect Sense is a story about two people who fall in love just as an epidemic begins to gradually rob the world’s population of their senses, one by one. The epidemic sweeps the globe, gradually rendering the public unable to function. First, people start crying for no reason. After drying up their tears, they notice they have lost their ability to smell; this is followed eventually by a loss of taste, hearing and finally, sight. The epidemic itself is not given a major part in the movie. The film focuses instead on the two lovers and the rest of the people dealing with the situation. This in part explains the functionality of the music, which is meant to underpin the emotional context of the movie, rather than the science fiction. The main protagonists are a scientist (Susan) and a chef (Michael).

Chuckles, an amalgamation of all those who made this project possible. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My dissertation was made possible by fellowship support conferred by the University of Michigan Rackham Graduate School and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities, as well as ample teaching opportunities provided by the Musicology Department and the Residential College. I am also grateful to my department, Rackham, the Institute, and the UM Sweetland Writing Center for supporting my work through various travel, research, and writing grants.

I also remain indebted to all those who helped me reach this point, including my supervisors at the Hatcher Graduate Library, the Music Library, the Children’s Center, and the Music of the United States of America Critical Edition Series. I thank them for their patience, assistance, and support at a critical moment in my graduate career. This project could not have been completed without the assistance of Bruce Boyd Raeburn and his staff at Tulane University’s William Ransom Hogan Jazz Archive of New Orleans Jazz, and the staff of the Historic New Orleans Collection.

  • Pops Prevails
    Journal of Jazz Studies vol. 8, no. 1, pp. 93-99 (Spring 2012) Pops Prevails Edward Berger What a Wonderful World: The Magic of Louis Armstrong’s Later Years. By Ricky Riccardi. New York: Pantheon, 2011. 369 pp. $28.95. Louis Armstrong’s later work is a far more controversial subject than one would expect, given his universal recognition as jazz’s seminal creator and, at one time, arguably the world’s most recognizable figure. But it is precisely his success in these two disparate and, to many, incompatible roles that led some critics to ignore his later artistic achievements and to bemoan what many viewed as his abandonment of his genius in pursuit of popular acceptance. Add to that the uneasiness engendered in some circles by Armstrong’s complex stage persona, and the controversy becomes more understandable. Ricky Riccardi makes abundantly clear in this new and valuable work that, although Armstrong may have devoted his entire life to entertaining his audience, it did not preclude serious artistic achievement at all stages of his career. Most writers, Riccardi included, use the transition from Armstrong’s leadership of his big band to the formation of the All Stars in 1947 as the demarcation between early and late Armstrong. Since Armstrong recorded from 1923 to 1971, his “late” period spanned some 24 years—exactly half of his entire recording career. Moreover, some critics felt that Armstrong’s contributions as a creative improviser ended even earlier, essentially dismissing much of his output after the Hot Fives and Hot Sevens. It is interesting to note how our concept of age has changed over the decades.

    Bobby Hutcherson, Vibraphonist With Coloristic Range of Soun... http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/17/arts/music/bobby-hutchers... http://nyti.ms/2bdO8F9 MUSIC Bobby Hutcherson, Vibraphonist With Coloristic Range of Sound, Dies at 75 By NATE CHINEN AUG. 16, 2016 Bobby Hutcherson, one of the most admired and accomplished vibraphonists in jazz, died on Monday at his home in Montara, Calif. He was 75. Marshall Lamm, a spokesman for Mr. Hutcherson’s family, confirmed the death, saying Mr. Hutcherson had long been treated for emphysema. Mr. Hutcherson’s career took flight in the early 1960s, as jazz was slipping free of the complex harmonic and rhythmic designs of bebop. He was fluent in that language, but he was also one of the first to adapt his instrument to a freer postbop language, often playing chords with a pair of mallets in each hand. He released more than 40 albums and appeared on many more, including some regarded as classics, like “Out to Lunch,” by the alto saxophonist, flutist and bass clarinetist Eric Dolphy, and “Mode for Joe,” by the tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson. Both of those albums were a byproduct of Mr. Hutcherson’s close affiliation with Blue Note Records, from 1963 to 1977. He was part of a wave of young artists who defined the label’s forays into experimentalism, including the pianist Andrew Hill and the alto saxophonist Jackie McLean. But he also worked with hard-bop stalwarts like the tenor saxophonist Dexter Gordon, and he later delved into jazz-funk and Afro-Latin grooves. Mr. Hutcherson had a clear, ringing sound, but his style was luminescent and 1 of 4 8/17/16, 2:43 PM Bobby Hutcherson, Vibraphonist With Coloristic Range of Soun..
