According tot discogs Harold Faltermeyer’s full name is Hans Hugo Harold Faltermeier! Here you go! 😉
I’ve just read (somewhere) that Kevin Kiner is scoring a new Star Wars project and there were two other Kiner’s along for the ride.
It’s not what you know…Hmmmm. Somehow, I’ve always thought of Kiner as a relatively young man, even if I’ve been aware of him since he did BLACK SCORPION in 1995. But looking him up, he’s actually 67! So obviously with adult kids now who follow in his footsteps. At some point, you simply lose track of the passing of time.
Cliff Eidelman is still 30, isn’t he? 😀
Haha, yeah. My thoughts exactly. I still think of the many young bucks who entered the game way after I’d been into it (John Powell, Mark Mancina, Michael Giacchino et al) as young composers, even though most are in their 60s and beyond now 😯
Cliffy is a year older than me, so yeah, still a young lad 😉Dr. Jacoby, you haven’t posted in this thread, but I found this amusing post of yours on FSM, from October 3, 2014, in a similar topic to this. I hope you don’t mind me reposting here (although these aren’t exclusively about following in their parent’s footsteps):
Ernest Gold had a son named Andrew, who had an uber-annoying 1976 US hit called “Lonely Boy.”
Jazz arranger and sometimes TV composer Marty Paich had a son named David, who was a member of the uber-annoying pop group Toto.
Dick Marx, pianist for Ken Nordine, whose word jazz albums might be considered soundtracks to the subconscious, had an uber-annoying son named Richard, who had dreadful pop career in the 1980s.
Toto has some over-present hits maybe but hardly uber-annoying, too. And of course Williams’ son was (is?) their main singer most of the time which should not be forgotten on the occasion here 😉
Yes, and Joseph Williams scored a few things on his own (in addition to helping out his dad on a few occasions). Nothing remarkable, mostly TV, I suppose the most famous is the TV show MIRACLES.
I just came back from the film OBSESSION, and saw Rock Burwell credited as composer. Is he related to Carter? I couldn’t find any proof of that by googling.
Am I the only one pining for a release of Joel Goldsmith’s STARGATE: UNIVERSE? I think it’s the best thing he ever did; I even rank it above many of his dad’s scores. But for some reason, it doesn’t materialize.
I saw the series and liked the scores which I remember as being synthy-atmospheric. Not sure if I would put them about his father’s works but put it out I say. If BSX will do at some point…
I’m trying to muster up the energy to write an article about Maj Sønstevold’s score for the Norwegian film TROST I TAKLAMPA (1955). Lots of research involved, so it’s a sluggish affair. But it reminded me of something:
Maj was married to Gunnar Sønstevold, another iconic film composer in Norway. Together, they formed a rare film composer married couple. I was thinking which others existed in history. I know about Fred and Bebe Barron (FORBIDDEN PLANET) and Ian and Sophia Hultquist. But who else?
I know about Fred and Bebe Barron (FORBIDDEN PLANET)
The only ones I know of these and I never investigated who they are I admit… I don’t know any else right now…
Due to the low number of female film composers this isn’t easy to find one married to a film composer, too.
But some cases of father son collaborations like Jerry and Joel Goldsmith, Ennio and Andrea Morricone or Michael and Mick Giacchino. And in the meantime also Chris Young and his son.
Was probably all mentioned here before.I remembered a couple of other film composer couples — Atticus Ross and Claudia Sarne, and Kim Allen Kluge and Kathryn Kluge, who’s probably most famous for their work on Scorsese’s SILENCE (2016).
