fommes 164 Posted October 18, 2004 Posted October 18, 2004 "John Williams has a driver, but the driver gets exact notes by Williams where to turn, how fast to drive etc. It's 10-lane sketches at least, with every slightest turn marked and other notes on steering details. The driver is really nothing more than an executor. If Williams were to drive himself, he'd drive the car exactly the same way his driver does for him."

stewdog1 50 Posted October 18, 2004 Posted October 18, 2004 A more recent one:The purpose of a film score is not to overpower the visuals and the dialogue of the film. A film score is the backbone. Depending on the context of the visuals and dialogue, certain sections of film scores may at times incorporate a certain amount of repetition to maintain a rhythm. Â It's odd that at once you chastise Vangelis, who is a master of synthesis, improvisation and innovation, and yet suggest Williams who is known for repetition. Â As I mentioned in another post, Williams is a plagiarist. In several scores, he repeats entire phrases and sections of Gustav Holst's seminal work, The Planets Suite. Williams gets paid a million dollars per score, and yet, in the tradition of other plagiarists like James Horner, he simply lifts note after note directly from other scores... occasionally transposing a few to obfuscate the plagiarism to only the least attentive of listeners (a similar tactic used by Vanilla Ice comes to mind). Â Not only does Williams repeat others, but he also repeats himself. Entire sections of the scores for the Indiana Jones films are regurgitations of phrasings, melodies and arrangements from the Star Wars scores. Why not just send in a copy of the same score to every filmmaker who hires you, and call it a day? Â Williams has a very recognizable pattern that emanates from the 5/4 strings and horns rhythm of Holst's Planets... except he pumps the instruments to death until there's no dynamic expression, no subtlety, and what you have is a monotonous G-chord rhythm that is mistakenly emphasized as the lead, and not the suble thematic structure that Holst had the sense to linger somewhere in the background... This nonsense can be recognized a mile away as Williams' signature bullshit.... and he reuses this technique in every fucking score he composes! Â Vangelis understands the importance of establishing rhythm with minor variation during scenes that require it... but across his work you find a vast range of musical styles, phrases, arrangements. Williams is precisely the opposite... he uses a gargantuan bombast that seems to suggest the film was constructed merely as a visual to accompany his music, and yet he repeats himself from one film to the next... using the same cues that are all derived from composers far more imaginative and original than him.

Jeshopk 8 Posted October 18, 2004 Posted October 18, 2004 That Vangelis rant is a riot. Who spouted that crap?
Mr. Breathmask 624 Posted October 18, 2004 Posted October 18, 2004 It was a quote from another board. As I recall, it was suggested to take over the entire post, and replace all of the Vangelis with Williams, and all the Williams with either Zimmer or Horner. Or Vangelis.- Marc, who thinks this thread is a nice idea, but doesn't feel like looking for any great quotes - and never remembers them anyway.<---- Hey, lookie. 2500 posts. Yay.

CYPHER 1 Posted October 30, 2004 Posted October 30, 2004 Well we have had some good quotes, some absolute pearlers over the years, but I'll be damned if I can remember them off the top of my head or be bothered to trawl back through the archives to find any. My gratitude and respect goes out to those of you willing to do so though, for all of our sakes! CYPHER
