Title: Star Trek - 9 - Does It Still McFly View count: 93 Rating: 5.0 (1 ratings) Description: This is the score from the motion picture of the movie ''Star Trek'' directed by J.J.Abrams. The music was composed by Michael Giacchino.Performed by the Hollywood Studio Symphony. A note from the director: ''It is with disbelief that I wrtie the following:For nearly a decade.I have had the honor of collaborating with Michael Giacchino on both TV and film projects. It can't possibly be that long ago that we met on Alias.But a decade it is.And what fun it's been,watching(and listen to)Michael,at every turn,elevate the stories we've desperately been trying to tell.Embellishing the emotion and mystery of Lost's island.Adding tension and energy at every turn in Mission:Impossible 3.Creating a massive,hulking overture(With a wry smile and nod to Ifukube)for the end credits of Cloverfield.Making the weird world of Fringe just a little weirder,a little fringier. A truly great artist,Michael maximizes the intetion of the story -moment to moment- without being distracting or calling attention to himself.His music is such a natural,critical,intrinsic piece of the puzzle that if you ever want to see just how important his contribution is,turn down the volume and watch a scene without his master touch.Whatever just grabbed you by the heart has suddenly lost its grip,hasn't it? Certainly,taking on the soundtrack for Star Trek is a tall order - especially when you consider the esteemed composers who have come before.But Michael has written a score that holds its own against now-classic works from the likes of Courage,Horner and Goldsmith.Listen to the themes Michael's written for this film - the hope and pride of the hero,the threat and rage of the villain.The epic scale in counterpoint to the heartbreaking intimacy.It's the kind of film I adored as a kid:imagination-provoking themes wrtitten beautifully,performed impeccably,and recorded masterfully. Michael's job is not an easy one.But damn,he makes it look that way.Time and again,Michael is a collaborative partner I rely on and for whom I am deeply grateful. I only wish for another decade like the last one.More than you know.'' -J.J.Abrams Sydney,April 2009 Tags: star, trek, j.j.abrams, michael, giacchino, music, score, soundtrack, film, movie, john, cho, ben, cross, bruce, greenwood, simon, pegg, chris, pine, zachary, quinto, winona, ryder, zoë, saldana, karl, urban, anton, yelchin, eric, bana, leonard, nimoy, james, t., kirk, spock, prime, nero, capt., christopher, pike, bones, nyota, uhura, montgomery, scott, lt., hikaru, sulu, pavel, chekov, amanda, grayson, Author: cultureclub80 |
