Jay 39,586 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 It's not that interesting; They use shorthand like that all the time in recording sessions. There's really no difference in being exactly correct with titles or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 39,586 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 At the recording sessions, there's really no difference if the sheet music says "Matrix 2" or "Matrix Reloaded"; If it says "Furious 7" or "Fast and Furious 7"; or if it says "Star Wars 7", "Star Wars Episode VII" or "Star Wars: The Force Awakens". They don't bother to be exactly grammatically correct, they are just there to record music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Code 000. Destruct. 0. 4,260 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 The parts were stolen actually, along with all of Williams' sketches and the conductor's score. Recording is delayed until they're found again.UPDATE: Word is that Williams himself has been kidnapped. A ransom note has been sent to his estate, which has been traced back to the residence of a W. Ross. Authorities are converging on the scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indy4 155 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Looks like William Ross is conducting...Today I was stoked when I spoke to a friend involved with recording Star Wars Force Awakens with John Williams this week over at Sony scoring stage. I’m told he’s a brilliant musician and conductor to work with, though Bill Ross (aka William Ross) was doing the majority of the conducting. Which is no surprise, as Bill worked with John Williams on Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Bill is an incredible talent too, and a super nice guy. When I was a recent college graduate trying to figure out how to work as a composer, Bill invited me over to his studio and chatted with me. http://nerdreactor.com/2015/06/05/john-williams-recording-star-wars-the-force-awakens-in-la/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Code 000. Destruct. 0. 4,260 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Let me kick off the conspiracy theories with a sane and plausible one.His back is still acting up, and Ross is simply starting things off, until John feels good about taking up the baton again.This is a good theory to get behind, I think. Note that it says "the majority of" not "all" conducting. And remember that these sessions are going to last for months.... crocodile 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 8,539 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Well, it might be just exhausting for a 83 year old. That's understandable.Plus, Ross did an ace job on Chamber of Secrets. I'm a big fan of performances on that one, might be even better than Williams' Potter in places, to be honest.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KK 3,308 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Yeah, I have no quips with Ross conducting. But I'm sure this board is going to blow up.And it's just a bit concerning to see these telling signs of Williams' aging I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smeltington 1,583 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 We had William Ross jokes IN THIS VERY THREAD and ON THIS VERY PAGE, and just like that, it came true!!! I swear we caused it somehow!Yeah, I have no quips with Ross conducting. But I'm sure this board is going to blow up.And it's just a bit concerning to see these telling signs of Williams' aging I guess. This. I love Chamber of Secrets, and when I listen I'm not really conscious of the difference in conductor. But I hope Williams is back in action soon, and this won't be more of a trend than it already has been now and then over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 8,539 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Well, Williams didn't conduct some of Jurassic Park and it didn't really impact the quality any. So...TGP's theory seems to be the most reasonable.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightscape94 966 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 It also says majority of the conducting, not all of the conducting. Ross will probably be on-hand for a while, or during the whole process, in case Williams needs him to step in. Since they're just getting started, and it seems to be action cue oriented, then Williams probably doesn't have the range of motion yet with his back acting up.Let's bring it in people.You're going to be okay. Now say it, you're going to be okay. Say it! Say the goddamn words! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dutton 7,421 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I already told you guys.William Ross is being flown in for conducting/adapting duties.Jay doesn't know what he's talking about. The score manuscript (?) Tweet was Tweeted from Rancho Palos Verdes, which is up the street from where I live, a really wealthy area on the PV peninsula complete with Donald Trump's golf course with a giant American flag the locals tried to get him to take down and views of Catalina that look like the opening shot of The Lost World: Jurassic Park. Anyway, point is, it isn't close to where they'd be recording the score. At all. Like an hour+ away. Why was it there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 5,141 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 This is a non-story. Williams is composing the music, which is 99.99% of what we (okay, I guess maybe just myself) want. He is getting too old to conduct anymore, particularly rigorous all day sessions. this is how it will be from here on out--deal with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
