Someone on Zimmer's website claims they spoke with Mazzaro, recording is indeed happening next week, and it's just Zimmer and Mazzaro doing the entire score, as opposed to Zimmer and a mix of other RCP folks.
I'd imagine he's picking up the slack writing wise, while Zimmer focuses on the biggest moments.
He's the Miss Grace to Zimmer's Dame Sally Markham :D
Wish I got the reference.
Little Britain reference.
Ah right. Only ever watched one episode a few years back.
I think he's already finished a couple of his projects due for the year already, so he's not really bouncing between them. I believe he's firmly focused on Bond, and from what I know of the way he works I think what I posted above is the most likely scenario. Zimmer will likely sketch down the main motifs, themes, compose the suites (which are now completed), and then move on to fitting them into the picture; he will take most of the core scenes and Mazzaro will handle additional music and use Zimmer's suites as a basis for his own work.
Steve Mazzaro has a NTTD credit on Hans' website, citing "additional music".
There you go.
Oooo, forgot about that. This could be the longest sound track of the series. I am excited for this.
I'd say 50-60mins of music, over 12-15 tracks.
Zimmer's scores are usually given expanded releases later, followed by a leak of the full sessions minus his suites.
Yeah, can't bet again this....Zimmer does that....although, I would have wanted 20+ tracks before the expanded or complete score arrives.
You never know. His approach to this could be different. But I definitely think we'll be getting things like a Safin suite and a Nomi suite.
Yeah, true....maybe even something like 'The James Bond Suite' as well.
Yeah, true...I think Newman was better with the romantic & quieter pieces....with tracks like 'Severine', 'Donna Lucia', 'Secret Room' amongst others....and I also think 'Old Dog, New Tricks'...is one of Newman's Best, if not his Best Bond track...even if it was rejected. A great deal of his action music felt like noise-making to me....I know Newman is Mendes' friend....but I can't help but think Mendes should have done the wise thing by pairing Arnold & Newman....am sure the scores would have been much better....with Arnold focusing on Action & Newman on emotion....I can't wait to hear the first few seconds of a Zimmer Bond track.
Same here on all counts except the collaboration idea. Though in theory there's logic to what you're saying, one consistent voice is usually better for a project.
I actually thought his action work for The Good German and Lemony Snicket or even Mendes' Jarhead was far more interesting and, if not actually Barry-like, then certainly not generic and far more original than what ended up in the movie.
His other tracks on the SF score have a few gems though.
