[Thor Joachim Haga]

Let’s add some comments to our “Now Playing” images.

This isn’t normally a type of score I gravitate towards anymore (big and bold, orchestral action film music, with some electric guitars thrown in), but once upon a time, i.e. the 90s, this was the best thing ever. And this score is exactly from this period. So although I came to it late, probably some 10 years ago, I appreciate its “joie-de-vivre”, so to speak.

As someone who cares neither for the Marvel AVENGERS, nor James Bond, this entertaining (but slightly bombastic) score is the closest I’ll get to both.

Such a mesmerizing work for a mesmerizing film. Not for the orchestral theme lovers; this is static and exploratory — but in very intriguing ways that only Jóhannsson could do.

Have you seen the film?

[Thor Joachim Haga]

Yes, it’s spellbinding.

That’s a good one, although album requires some whittling.

Totally at odds with my current surroundings. Sunny and spring-like. But it’s where I’m at in my walkthrough. Such a hypnotic score in all its aleatoric explorations and deconstructions. A classic in its own right. I love the bits that send associations to Corigliano’s pupil, Elliot Goldenthal.

Never saw that show, but I know Halfdan a little bit. It’s probably his best work.

I can’t make out what that says, Alan – BENBOOKI DECODED?

[FalkirkBairn01]

It’s Benbodhi: Decoded – it seems to be a short documentary from 2024 about the founder of some sort of community. I can’t really work out much about what the documentary is about but there’s mention of things like “cc0”, “onchain”, “nouns”, etc. None of which I really understand.
