the beginning of Failure
Feverishly composing the score to Tom Dey's FAILURE TO LAUNCH, which is due for a March release! It's a nice flick, a witty comedy, and nice to have a film with Bradley Cooper and Kathy Bates to work with again. But the schedule is hectic and I now have flu. My orchestrator caught it in NY during last week's scoring sessions, and now i seem to have it. No voice, just a whisper and a squeak.
Meanwhile am planning the next Great Singing Buddha Bowl Experiment for early February. The first one went so well. It's a tribal- choral thing, and it was pretty exhilarating. The next one should have about 50 participants. I'm looking for somewhere to do it in LA that has a nice long reverb though. An alley, or archway perhaps. Or a hall. Any ideas? I need to get my voice back for that.

My comment concerns "Sideways".
In the scene where things get quiet and reflective after Giamatti grabs the wallet, were you trying to make that theme sound like Donald Byrd's "Cristo Redenter"? They used the actual recording toward the end of "A Bronx Tale" - which is probably where you got the idea, correct? Tell me I'm wrong!
I'd like to hear back from you at johnnycchops@aol.com
The music cue in the film is a slow piano/vibes version of one of the main themes in the film. That same theme is on sax in the opening cue in the film as well as in several other places.
On the drive home sequence the director wanted to contrast the excitement and levity of the getting the wallet with the pensive sadness of knowing that the road trip was now over, and that life for these two would now shift and not be the same. It is very much Miles moment, which is why I took his theme and made it very spare and slow.
I have not heard Donald Byrd's "Cristo Redenter". So yes, you are wrong.
hi i was wondering what the beginning/ending theme song to "failure to launch" was??
No idea. Check the end credits - it must be listed.
hey i looked and looked online every where and could not find any info on that song in "failure to launch" right after tripp says get the #$%k out of my car it starts off with a guitar solo "some say everyday we learn something new that helps us get by..." what is the name of that song ... and can you but it on your website for downloading???
Really, I have no idea. I don't recall the song, and had nothing to do with it, and so can't post it for you. Try finding the Music Supervisor Liza Richardson and asking her.
