Tidbits Learned from The Soundtrack Show
Contents
Episode: Producing Soundtrack Albums: an Interview with Mike Matessino (part II)[edit]
- Although soundtrack releases in the past ten years are better than they've ever been, due to improved technology and detail-oriented production, interest in collecting soundtracks by the general public is at a low point, according to Mike, and this puts the future of catalogue releases in danger. (question at ~2 minutes into podcast) [1]
Episode: Ghostbusters: the Music (Part II)[edit]
- Composer Elmer Bernstein wrote and scored orchestral music for much of the movie, only to see his contributions replaced with pop songs like "Ghostbusters" (Ray Parker Jr.) and "Savin' the Day" (Alessi) and "Magic" (Mick Smiley). The portion used from "Magic" comes from the middle of the song. [2] [3]
- The music played during the wide shot of Ray and Winston driving across the bridge is not a pop song but a composition by Elmer Bernstein.
Episode: Harry Potter and Philosopher's Stone: the Music Part I[edit]
- John Williams, his children and his grandchildren had all read the "Harry Potter and Philosopher's Stone" book before John knew he was going to score the film.
- John scored a March 2001 teaser trailer for the film before working on the finished film.
