Rick Beato - Thoughts

Ryuichi Sakamoto. I would have loved to see this same thing done with him, for example. It's not gonna happen, but the way the music in his films show up and are used, is really pretty, but I have never found, or seen anything where he can explain some of the things he did, or how he came up with it. He played, even on piano, a lot of his soundtracks themes. Several concerts on the net. His piano pieces, are mostly the film scores.

Maurice Jarre would have been an interesting one. He is the only composer to win Oscars with two very different and distinct styles of music ... the second you could say inspired by his son? And like Sir Alec Guinness, I bet he had issues with David Lean, but you and I know that David Lean allowed a lot of the music to live.

Zbigniew Preisner deserves a nice go before he passes away. Some really pretty stuff, though his time with a rocker is pretty sad ... he was in the background, just a small carpet on the floor! SAD.

Michael Nyman ... insane list of films but some really interesting stuff.

Nino Rota ... not with us anymore, but a lot of his music is remembered really well.

Zhao Jiping ... Some really fine Chinese films. Yellow Earth/Red Sorghum/Raise The Red Lantern/The Story of Qiu Ju/Farewell, My Concubine/Red Firecracker, Green Firecracker/To Live/The Emperor and the Assassin just to name a few ... a lot of Zhang Yimou films.

Eduard Artemiev ... Russian composer that has also been involved in electronics. Passed away a few years back. Solaris/Mirror/Stalker/House of Fools/12/Sunstroke and so many films. It's like he IS the main composer in Russian films.

Gabriel Yared ... awesome listing of films. Hanna K,/Dangerous Moves/Camille Claudel/Tatie Danielle/Vincent & Theo/The King's Whore/Map of the Human Heart/The English Patient/City of Angels/Cold Mountain

Henri Mancini ... never seen him talk about his music at all. Arabesque/Breakfast at Tiffany's/The Glass Menagerie/The Great Race/The Hawaiians/The Molly Maguires/Mommie Dearest/The Party/The Pink Panther (series)/Sometimes a Great Notion/The Thief Who Came to Dinner.

Already done and found around:

Ennio Morricone. That special on him is all you need to see. He relies more on what he can see than otherwise, it seems.

Vangelis. Lots of stuff around his work and how he created stuff on the daily pieces.

Tangerine Dream. Not sure this can be done right, since the best soundtrack they had has never been shown in its entirety (no rights!!! we have to wait 65 more years!). A lot of films, though some had their music badly used. I don't think that anyone in the family or group can say a lot about the soundtracks. Jerome might have an interesting perspective but he won't talk about his father, etc, etc ... The current band, and specially TQ, are not exactly the right folks to discuss it ... they can play it, but I doubt they can describe it and talk about it from Edgar's visual point of view. No one around the family is as "visual" at all.

Mark Isham. Lots of stuff on him on the Internet. Some nice stuff.

These are probably the ones I remember the best, though I am probably missing several.
