missing track in Sideways
I have had a couple of requests for the final track in SIDEWAYS - the track you are looking for is called SYMBIOSIS by Claus Ogermann, played by Bill Evans. The cue on the SIDEWAYS CD "Miles and Maya" was composed for this place in the film but the Evans track won out in the dub.

Mr. Kent,
In sideways, during the scene where miles and maya go back to her place, make love, and then spend the day together at a festival of some sort...There is a absolutley gorgeous piano part with bass and strings which is not on the soundtrack, is this the "missing track"? Where can I get this song?
Same track - I don't know where you can find it though.
Dear Rolfe,
Speaking of Sideways tracks, I have been trying to find the sheet music for "Los Olivos" -- definitely my favorite. Is it tied in with another song you've posted? Otherwise could you make it available somehow? Love the CD, brings back the best memories of the movie and more.
Regards,
Chris
Mr. Kent,
The soundtrack for Sideways had my attention throughout the film. Two tracks in particular stuck in my mind: Los Olivos and Abandoning the Wedding. Those two really touched me.
I am, admittedly, a hack at the piano, but I was able to pick out parts of each by ear. Imagine my delight when I found that you had posted the sheet music for Abandoning the Wedding. Being a hack, I need any help that I can get, so I just wanted to add my voice to the requests for Los Olivos sheet music. I hope that you can find the time to make it available.
Thank you for giving us some great music. I think I have almost worn out my new CD :)
Regards,
Bill
My 10-year-old son has been invited to play harmonica at his uncle's wedding. He loves the Sideways soundtrack and would like to play Los Olivos and Chasing the Golfers with me accompanying him on piano. (He would play on harmonica what we feel fairly sure is the accordian part.) I found the first page of Los Olivos on your website, but can't locate Chasing the Golfers. Is there some way to get both scores--particularly the parts of piano and accordian (harmonica)? Thanks...
Sharon,
The Los OLIVOS sheet music has just been corrected - all pages are there now. As regards CHASING THE GOLFERS, it's the same tune as DRIVE, so simply download that sheet music also.
Good luck at the wedding.
One of my favorite cuts on the Sideways soundtrack CD is "Constantine Snaps His Fingers." But where does it occur in the film? I have watched the DVD at least twice looking for it, but have yet to find the scene. Great job on the score, Rolfe! Lots of juicy tunes (no pun intended).
It's in the end titles - was originally in the actual film but wasn't needed.
The Symbiosis inclusion which recurs as Miles and Maya's theme is pretty much perfect. It's not only delicately beautiful, the way pinot and the main characters (M & M) the wine symbolizes are, it ends with an open chord that is neither major nor minor. It's neither bad news at the door, nor is it "happily ever after", but seems to say, "this is not over; something is just beginning here."
By the way, where does the title of the movie (and book) come from? I understand the movie quite well, but I can't figure out the sense of the word "sideways"...
Hi Rolfe,
Sideways was released almost a year and a half ago, and its soundtrack has stood the test of time. I listen to it often and it never gets old. I hear something new every time. What were some of your inspirations for the score? Could you recommend some recordings that are similar in style, orchestration and genre?
To Anonymous:
" ... where does the title of the movie (and book) come from?"
"Sideways" is a metaphor for "drunk." There are references to its meaning throughout the book.
In another sense, it could also mean going through life - or in Miles' and Jack's case, approaching middle age - in a "sideways" fashion, unwilling to accept their change in life instead of facing it head on. Each character approaches middle age differently: Jack tries to hold on to his youth for as long as he can, while Miles just wants to get it over with, and in so doing gives up on life at a time when he should be celebrating it.
I hope I'm not asking the same question, but I've been looking for the song that is playing during Miles and Maya's scene on the porch at Stephanie's house, while Stephanie and Jack are in the other room.
If you could email the track and artist I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi Mr. Kent,
I am working on a presentation for school and would like to use any music from the Sideways soundtrack. May I?
Thanks, Lisa
Lisa, Yes you can use it.
I don't actually own the music I composed, but I think, as long as you are not charging anyone to hear it, you are free to use the music.
It was very nice of you to ask. Good luck, Rolfe
