  • BBC Four Programme Information
    SOUND OF CINEMA: THE MUSIC THAT MADE THE MOVIES BBC Four Programme Information Neil Brand presenter and composer said, “It's so fantastic that the BBC, the biggest producer of music content, is showing how music works for films this autumn with Sound of Cinema. Film scores demand an extraordinary degree of both musicianship and dramatic understanding on the part of their composers. Whilst creating potent, original music to synchronise exactly with the images, composers are also making that music as discreet, accessible and communicative as possible, so that it can speak to each and every one of us. Film music demands the highest standards of its composers, the insight to 'see' what is needed and come up with something new and original. With my series and the other content across the BBC’s Sound of Cinema season I hope that people will hear more in their movies than they ever thought possible.” Part 1: The Big Score In the first episode of a new series celebrating film music for BBC Four as part of a wider Sound of Cinema Season on the BBC, Neil Brand explores how the classic orchestral film score emerged and why it’s still going strong today. Neil begins by analysing John Barry's title music for the 1965 thriller The Ipcress File. Demonstrating how Barry incorporated the sounds of east European instruments and even a coffee grinder to capture a down at heel Cold War feel, Neil highlights how a great composer can add a whole new dimension to film. Music has been inextricably linked with cinema even since the days of the "silent era", when movie houses employed accompanists ranging from pianists to small orchestras.

  • New Album Reviews
    For Those Of You Who Have Never: New Album Reviews Music | Bittles’ Magazine: The music column from the end of the world I have always been a fan of the humble compilation. Although much maligned in recent years, they can be a great way to introduce yourself to new artists, or genres. This June has seen a surge of quality collections all begging to be reviewed. Some are designed to showcase a particular label (Floor To Floor for Dusky’s 17 Steps, Facticity for Functions‘ Infrastructure New York, The Lost Tapes for Code Is Law), the selection skills of a certain DJ (Tim Green’s Body Language mix, Ryan Elliott’s Fabric 88), or a specific era’s sound (C87’s 80s indie). If you aren’t a fan of compilations, please don’t despair, as we also find time to review great new artist albums by Rebolledo, Huerco S, Weval, Mala, Trevino, Wolf Müller & Cass, and more. So, put on your reading glasses, open up your ears and let us begin… This week we’ll start with the return of Rebolledo, whose second solo album, Mondo Alterado should be available in your local record store now. Continuing the soundtrack-inspired electronica of last year’s Momento Drive mix CD, Mondo Alterado is a stately, atmospheric downtempo delight. Described in the press notes as being “A kind of soundtrack for a movie that doesn’t exist”, the album conjures a wealth of emotions and imagery, making it Rebolledo’s most rewarding work yet. Opener, Here Comes The Warrior (Super Short Album Version) is a dense and absorbing fifteen minute ride into the heart of ambient grooves.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles ! ! ! ! Clint Mansell: Music in the Films Requiem for a Dream and The Fountain by Darren Aronofsky ! ! ! ! A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Music ! by ! Visnja Krzic ! ! 2015 ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! © Copyright by Visnja Krzic 2015 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION ! Clint Mansell: Music in the Films Requiem for a Dream and The Fountain by Darren Aronofsky ! by ! Visnja Krzic Doctor of Philosophy in Music University of California, Los Angeles, 2015 Professor Ian Krouse, Chair ! This monograph examines how minimalist techniques and the influence of rock music shape the film scores of the British film composer Clint Mansell (b. 1963) and how these scores differ from the usual Hollywood model. The primary focus of this study is Mansell’s work for two films by the American director Darren Aronofsky (b. 1969), which earned both Mansell and Aronofsky the greatest recognition: Requiem for a Dream (2000) and The Fountain (2006). This analysis devotes particular attention to the relationship between music and filmic structure in the earlier of the two films. It also outlines a brief evolution of musical minimalism and explains how a composer like Clint Mansell, who has a seemingly unusual background for a minimalist, manages to meld some of minimalism’s characteristic techniques into his own work, blending them with aspects of rock music, a genre closer to his musical origins. This study also characterizes the film scoring practices that dominated Hollywood scores throughout the ii twentieth century while emphasizing the changes that occurred during this period of history to enable someone with Mansell’s background to become a Hollywood film composer.
