  • 2Cellos Take Fans to the Movies with New Album Score Accompanied by the London Symphony Orchestra
    2CELLOS TAKE FANS TO THE MOVIES WITH NEW ALBUM SCORE ACCOMPANIED BY THE LONDON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA ALBUM AVAILABLE MARCH 17, 2017 BAND KICKS OFF WORLD TOUR IN SUMMER 2017 2CELLOS, music’s most electric and dynamic instrumental duo, go to the movies for their new Portrait/Sony Music Masterworks album Score, available on March 17, 2017. Bringing 2CELLOS’ game-changing sound and style to the most popular melodies ever written for classic and contemporary movies and television, Score will be supported by a world tour, kicking off with its U.S. leg in July 2017. An international sensation since their unique video version of Michael Jackson’s “Smooth Criminal” rocked YouTube with millions of hits in 2011, the Croatian cellists Luka Šulić and Stjepan Hauser have created three high-energy albums for Sony Music Masterworks. Score finds them exploring a more traditional sound-world. Joining them here – to provide the ideal aural backdrop to their virtuosity – is the London Symphony Orchestra, with conductor/arranger Robin Smith at the helm. Šulić and Hauser also co-produced Score with Nick Patrick (Elvis Presley/Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Russell Watson, Il Divo, Plácido Domingo). “We love movie music! This album represents some of our favorite pieces of music by our favorite film composers. Having the opportunity to arrange them for cello whilst working with the world class London Symphony Orchestra has been a dream come true,” says Stjepan. The album opens with an arrangement of Ramin Djawadi’s melodies that score Game of Thrones, culminating in the bold Main Title theme, in which the stirring sound of cellos announces each of what may be the most eagerly awaited episodes in contemporary television.

  • Samsara Persmap
    SAMSARA van Ron Fricke & Mark Magidson Release: 19 december 2013 2011 | 100 minuten | Super 70 mm Panavision | Dolby Digital Samsara, een film van Ron Fricke (Koyaanisqatsi) en Mark Magidson die eerder samen de bekroonde films Baraka (1992) en Chronos (1985) maakten, is een ongekend zintuigelijke ervaring. Samsara is Sanskriet voor ‘het eeuwig draaiende rad van het leven’ en is het vertrekpunt van de filmmakers. Gefilmd over een periode van bijna 5 jaar en in 25 landen toont Samsara ons heilige plaatsen, rampgebieden, industriële landschappen en natuurwonderen. Samsara is een film zonder dialoog en beschrijvende teksten en is daardoor niet een traditionele documentaire maar een werk dat de toeschouwer inspireert, geholpen door de sublieme beelden en zinnelijke muziek die het oude en het moderne vermengt. Hierdoor nodigt Samsara ons uit om onze eigen interpretatie te geven aan deze prikkelende reis over de wereld. De film is geheel op 70 mm formaat gefilmd: extra scherpe details en intense kleuren. Samsara is vanaf 19 december te zien in de bioscoop en in een aantal zalen in een 70 mm projectie. SAMSARA wordt in Nederland gedistribueerd door ABC/Cinemien. Beeldmateriaal kan gedownload worden vanaf: www.cinemien.nl/pers of vanaf www.filmdepot.nl Voor meer informatie: ABC/ Cinemien | Anne Kervers | [email protected] | 0616274537 | 020-5776010 (Cinemien) Directed and photographed by Ron Fricke ( links ) Produced by Mark Magidson ( rechts ) Edited by Ron Fricke, Mark Magidson Original Music composed by Michael Stearns Original Music composed by Lisa Gerrard, Marcello De Francisi Concept and treatment written by Ron Fricke, Mark Magidson Musical Direction by Michael Stearns, Mark Magidson Production Coordinator Michelle Peele Ron Fricke Ron Fricke is a meticulous filmmaker who has mastered a wide range of skills.

Since the action took place in a boat on the open sea, where would the music come from? Raksin reportedly responded by asking Hitchcock where the cameras came from. This course examines film sound practices, focusing on cross-modal perception and cognition: on ways in which sounds influence what we “see” and images influence what we “hear.” Classes are conducted in a lecture format and involve multimedia demonstrations. We will be tackling the following questions: • How and why does music and sound effects work in films? • How did they come to be paired with the motion picture? • How did film sound conventions develop and what are their theoretical, socio-cultural, and cognitive bases? • How does non-speech sound contribute to a film’s narrative and how can such contribution be creatively explored? Aesthetics of the Motion Picture Soundtrack – Spring 2014 – Section 01 Page 1 of 12 COURSE DESCRIPTION & OBJECTIVES Course examines Classical Hollywood as well as more recent film soundtrack practices, focusing on the interpretation of film sound relative to ‘expectancy’ theories of meaning and emotion.

  • Adventures in Film Music Redux Composer Profiles
    Adventures in Film Music Redux - Composer Profiles ADVENTURES IN FILM MUSIC REDUX COMPOSER PROFILES A. R. RAHMAN Elizabeth: The Golden Age A.R. Rahman, in full Allah Rakha Rahman, original name A.S. Dileep Kumar, (born January 6, 1966, Madras [now Chennai], India), Indian composer whose extensive body of work for film and stage earned him the nickname “the Mozart of Madras.” Rahman continued his work for the screen, scoring films for Bollywood and, increasingly, Hollywood. He contributed a song to the soundtrack of Spike Lee’s Inside Man (2006) and co- wrote the score for Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007). However, his true breakthrough to Western audiences came with Danny Boyle’s rags-to-riches saga Slumdog Millionaire (2008). Rahman’s score, which captured the frenzied pace of life in Mumbai’s underclass, dominated the awards circuit in 2009. He collected a British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Award for best music as well as a Golden Globe and an Academy Award for best score. He also won the Academy Award for best song for “Jai Ho,” a Latin-infused dance track that accompanied the film’s closing Bollywood-style dance number. Rahman’s streak continued at the Grammy Awards in 2010, where he collected the prize for best soundtrack and “Jai Ho” was again honoured as best song appearing on a soundtrack. Rahman’s later notable scores included those for the films 127 Hours (2010)—for which he received another Academy Award nomination—and the Hindi-language movies Rockstar (2011), Raanjhanaa (2013), Highway (2014), and Beyond the Clouds (2017).

  • Hans Zimmer, Ridley Scott, and the Proper Length of the Gladius
    HISTORY GOES TO THE MOVIES: HANS ZIMMER, RIDLEY SCOTT, AND THE PROPER LENGTH OF THE GLADIUS Kay Dreyfus (SOPHIS, Monash University) In his article “Hollywood’s German Fantasy: Ridley Scott’s Gladiator,” Marc A. Weiner does something that is quite novel in the literature of film as history. He bases an historical reading of Scott’s Roman epic film (2000) on a close analysis of two seminal music cues.1 Briefly told, the film’s narrative is an invention that draws on certain historical elements—the death of the Emperor Marcus Aurelius in AD180 and the succession of his son, Commodus—but develops a fictional story around the character of General Maximus Decimus Meridius, a Spanish farmer and landowner turned soldier who, having defeated the barbarians of the north in a battle in Germania, is betrayed by the treachery of Commodus. (Maximus’s Spanish origins are perhaps the only link between this essay and the research interests of the dedicatee of this book.) Maximus becomes a slave, then a gladiator, and finally a saviour of Rome; he is the gladiator of the film’s title and the story concerns his journey.2 Weiner’s reading of the film focuses on the musical underpinning of two key moments: the first an evocation of the opening bars of the Prelude to Götterdämmerung (with its echoes of the prelude to Das Rheingold) that accompanies the audience’s first view of the ancient city of Rome; the second, a reminiscence of the opening of Siegfried’s “Funeral March” that is heard at the moment when Maximus, a masked gladiator, reveals his true identity to Commodus at the conclusion of a great battle in the arena of the Coliseum.
