I knew it

The Pikey's abandoned us again. Already. Three posts in a week. We should've known. Jerk.

Goldsmith in session

I came across this yesterday and thought it was pretty interesting. The scoring session is from The River Wild and two things are readily apparent: 1. studio musicians do make mistakes (though not often) and 2. just because Jerry's music is simple doesn't mean it's easy to play. I think for a lot of his music it's because there's so much space in it that requires that you actually, I don't know, count. Anyway. It's a rare and interesting look into the process even though that process has evolved somewhat since.

Also, check out the look that Goldsmith gives the orchestra at 2:36. Priceless.
