Film music

[aeolium]

That same site has this news story today http://www.independent.co.uk/news/me...e-8861360.html

Can anyone locate the story elsewhere, please? I'd be grateful :-)

It's on the BBC's own news website page:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-24417410

I commented on it down on the Ideas and Theory board.

Edit: Whoops, where did that message go? A forum mirage?

Thanks - I just deleted mine because I spotted it was in the Independent, although I found the link on the same website as the film list. Will follow up.

[Eine Alpensinfonie]

Just found a website which lists Radio 3 and its top songs playlist:

Again, that misuse of the word "song". (No, I don't mean you, ff. )

I note that on today's Sound of Cinema, that Malcolm Arnold has become the composer of the Colonel Bogey March.

Anyone watch "Drive" with Ryan Gosling as the Getaway on BBC2 last night? Gorgeous match of sound and image on that - a Cliff Martinez score emulating the smooth pulsing glide of 80s synth pop complete with breathy ethereal girlgroup vocals. Had to look away a bit when the violence started though...

jlw: I watched it with you and enjoyment, but as usual with me and film scores, the music rather passed me by

Perhaps I was looking too hard at the violence?

Get thee to a string quartet, to a Rothko, go!

Oh, dear. And already twitted for calling the film The Bridge Over the River Kwaï (which I note on checking was the English translation of the French novel title, but not the film's title).

Makes you wonder, doesn't it? Lack of knowledge, reading from scripts, not caring, downright sloppy, I bet most of us here have more knowledge than those who put together some programme notes. On a plus point, on my trip North I was in MediaCity, new home of the BBC- Salford Quays, it's quite snazzy and you can buy an apartment there for £109,000 or rent for £550 a month, if you wanted to.
Just thought I'd throw that in. The War Museum is really good though.

Bloody film music ....!!!!

I winder whether Kenneth Alford's estate will be suing the BBC. (If so, they'd better get a move on - the composer died in 1945, so 69 out of the 70 years of copyright have passed by.
