Reply To: The Grand Listening Project
I’ve often thought of doing that, because I know that there are quite a few titles in my collection which I’ll probably never be in the right mood to listen to again. But I never found myself in quite the right mood to start the walk-through either.
But I’m “kind of” doing it at the moment. After reading the Tim Greiving book, I started going through my John Williams CDs alphabetically. I’ve just finished JURASSIC PARK. Now there’s an interesting example of what I touched on before. It’s a score that I hadn’t played for years, largely because I “thought I knew it” inside out. But no. There were long stretches which I wouldn’t have been able to place if someone had played them to me blind. So it’s a worthwhile exercise… while probably being no good for weaning myself off OCD behaviour.
