Anyone know what’s up with Doyle lately?
He’s been a top composer for me since the 90s. Have 16 albums of his. My favourite remains HÅKON HÅKONSEN (aka SHIPWRECKED), reviewed in Norwegian here. I had a chat with him in 2014, when he was still active and sought-after, but that’s 11 years ago.
Branagh seems to have gone off him, their last good collab (and – in fact – the most recent Doyle score in my collection) is ALL IS TRUE from 2019.
Mysterious.
Wasn’t there a topic on FSM about that recently? Wondered about the collaboration with Branagh as well. He seems to be looking well according to his socials:

Ah, good to know he’s up and about. Although still kinda bummed he isn’t more active in the film score department.
Branagh/Doyle was a match made in heaven, theirs was an excellent collaboration, so I hope it’s not over. It’s like Hitchcock/Herrmann, Spielberg/Williams, there’s something about it that’s just right.
Listening to his rejected STEPMOM score again now (acquired through….uhm, underground sources). A beautiful little gem. Not on the level of Williams’ blissful replacement score, of course, but holds its own. Slightly more jaunty, perhaps, and not quite the autumnal beauty of the JW, but still a shame it never got a commercial release. I’m guessing there are all kinds of rights issues involved. But you do see rejected scores get a release now and then, often under a different name.

Those who are without sin may cast the first CD 😉 I only know a suite that is on Youtube somewhere and liked it.
In one of those weird coincidences, I just read on JWFAN that Doyle HAS apparently worked on a new film score recently:

(the “Death of Nile” error in the text gave me a giggle, though).
