fumi Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Soundtrack is released on Thursday. http://thequietus.com/articles/23328-blade-runner-2049-soundtrack-out-thursday The soundtrack for the upcoming Blade Runner 2049 will be made available via digital retailers this Thursday (October 5) on the same day as the film's UK release. The tracklist for the soundtrack, composed by Hans Zimmer and Benjamin Wallfisch, will be exclusively revealed during a Facebook live broadcast with the two composers later today. The album concludes with an original song by "a GRAMMY® Award nominee" according to a press release announcing the soundtrack's release. "First of all, I realised that Denis [Villeneuve] is a director who has a vision; he has a voice," says Zimmer. "Remember, I've done a lot of movies with Ridley Scott. So, it was important that this was an autonomous piece of work. Let’s just be honest. Ridley is a hard act to follow - as is Vangelis. While Ben was four years-old, I had actually experienced all of this. We watched and literally, as we stopped watching, we decided on the palette. We decided this wasn’t going to be an orchestral thing. The story spoke to us." Wallfisch adds: "We all know what Blade Runner feels like and what that experience is to watch this incredible masterpiece. The first question we asked ourselves was, 'How can we reinvent and make it fresh and new, but still be in that world?' The mission from the beginning was this idea of finding the heart of the film - what is its soul? When you discover the simplest possible theme, it sums up humanity almost. I feel like that's what we were all striving for towards the beginning of the process." The soundtrack was previously due to be led by Jóhann Jóhannsson, with additional material provided by Zimmer and Wallfisch, but he was removed from the role last month with Zimmer and Wallfisch drafted in to take over. The reason for this has still not been revealed by anybody involved in the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kavinsky Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 “The thing I will say is that making movies is a laboratory. It’s an artistic process. You cannot plan things. Jóhann Jóhannsson is one of my favorite composers alive today. He’s a very strong artist,” Villeneuve told Al Arabiya English. “But the movie needed something different, and I needed to go back to something closer to Vangelis. Jóhan and I decided that I will need to go in another direction — that’s what I will say. I hope I have the chance to work with him again because I think he’s really a fantastic composer.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fumi Posted October 3, 2017 Author Share Posted October 3, 2017 I dunno why I think this, no real reason to, but I have a sneaking suspicion that a lot of this soundtrack is going to simply be reinterpretations of the original Vangelis music. I hope I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amen Warrior Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Bit weird Vangelis isn't involved at all? Cunt doesn't have much else going on does he? Or is it just the rule now that all film music needs to be done by hans zimmer.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fumi Posted October 3, 2017 Author Share Posted October 3, 2017 Or is it just the rule now that all film music negeds to be done by hans zimmer.. Nailed it. Exactly. I think for many directors, he's just the 'go-to-soundtrack-guy' regardless of whether his style suits the film or not. In any case, we'll know by Thursday.

fumi Posted October 5, 2017 Author Share Posted October 5, 2017 Most of this is pretty uninspired. It just sounds like Hans Zimmer. Yeah, there's some CS80 and lots of sampled sounds from the original (to make it all feel like Blade Runner). There is very little variety on the album, for me. Just Zimmer running through all the Blade Runner tropes over and over again. The most outstanding piece on here is towards the end 'Tears In Rain', yes, just a remix of the Vangelis track. Slog through this album and when you hear that track, you realise that Zimmer just isn't in the same league as a composer. Blade Runner 2049 is lame even by his standards. The incidental stuff by Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley fit okay but the closing piece on the album is just some modern-day piece of radio-fluff that is just the icing on a polished turd.

fumi Posted October 5, 2017 Author Share Posted October 5, 2017 Zimmer has been incredible since Intestellar ! I think you're going to be disappointed. Interstellar is a much better work - even though it's just ripping off Phillip Glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
