Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you! I am relieved to hear that the different layers are distinguishable from each other. At some point I was aiming for "less is more" but decided to go "more is more".

@@LasseKarhu oh yes, i was going back many times, trying to fly through all those shiny layers of gossamer - i surely don't want to downplay any other positive elements of this rich music, but the complexity of those interwoven planes stands out so vividly

Thank you for the comment! I used BBCSO Core.

I'm really glad that you enjoyed it!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Yes! The score of Highlander is a masterpiece.

Thank you!

I use NP4 for sketching and BBCSO for the final version. IS seems to offer some good options and additions for certain instruments.

So, BBCSO is the best in my opinion.

Interesting! I have a recollection of the composer being not entirely satisfied with production of the score. Might that be the reason the SFX worksheet is not included in the handwritten score, who knows? I am not sure if this has been in discussion but maybe some low (in terms of frequency) FX were done by lowering down instrument tracks by eg. an octave. At least that's how you would get those low booms that linger longer than natural studio acoustics would allow. I think I once did a mockup of the percussive instruments from Main Titles but it might be lost. If you listen the track transposed an octave higher and concentrate on the percussions you can hear more natural sounds of timpani, bass drum, steel cello etc.

@@LasseKarhu I heard Goldenthal had an issue with the copyrights owners in the studio. Don't remember exactly, but he said he will not authorize them ever again to publish any of his early works. It was not an issue regarding the work itself. The synth elements probably are not in the handwritten sheets because they were added later during the mixing (also, the handwritten score is quite a mess, there was a lot of rewritting and cuts same as in the movie itself).

@@LasseKarhu some FX could reffer to alter the audio with some of that (specially in the "alien" sounds there is a lot of weird FX like Flanger or Phasers, and choir sfx in "the rape" scene, plus the electric guitars) Also I notice the lack of vocals in lots of the handwritten score, the vocal solo of Agnus Dei is not present in any track, thou I think the melody is written in one part of the score (maybe in Lento) but no vocals, just the melody. If Siddall will ever release the score for Alien 3, he will have to talk with either Goldsmith, or Synthesizer programmer Richard Martinez. It's doubtful, but maybe the conductor holds a copy of the score he used to direct the recording (Jonathan Sheffer), which could be more polished.

Thank you for your super informative replies@@nicolashrv It seems there's still a long road to travel until Alien3 score is published.

@@LasseKarhu well......I think the best option is they complete the transcription of the orchestral parts, and leave a staff empty, and have a call to apendix each time a FX apperas, that will speed up the process, and in the event the FX program sheet is lost, leave it just blank. Better something than nothing. I mean, even if the synth programmer kept a backup of his work in a CD or a harddrive, it's 30 years....the thing must be in some land filler in Malaysia!

You are 100% correct about the soundtrack. Simply awesome in every way. My humblest thank you.

​​​@@LasseKarhuOMG! You deserve it! I can hardly tell the difference between this and the original.! Check out the soundtrack for "Andre" by Bruce Rowland! 1994 track 1 and 7

That might be a good idea. I will look into this soon.

@@LasseKarhu that would be great! In fact, any of the music from Robocop would be great!!

Thank you!

Thank you very much, Enrique! Maybe I'll finish it after Thomas' feedback.

Good for you, Lasse! You have what you need inside of yourself! ♥@@LasseKarhu

Thank you very much for the feedback. I often use a timpani roll whenever I run out of other ideas. :)

@@LasseKarhu I’ll have to remember that one. 😉

I hear the laugh now, too. Your comment made my day. Thank you. :D

@@LasseKarhu Of course! I'm working on this as well and so its really cool to see such a different interpretation of the music vs what I am doing.

Não tenho certeza se a música tem algum outro título. Muito obrigado pelo seu comentário.

Thank you very much for the feedback!

Vielen Dank, Fabian :)

Thank you for the feedback. I think I had a slight struggle with it first but somehow things clicked in place.

Thank you very much for the feedback. I see what you mean. That part was my clumsy last minute approach to add another harmonizing line to the piece. This is more or less the version I sent Thomas which means I will fix this little thing (and all those other things he will add to the long list) after I've seen Thomas's feedback. Maybe I'll orchestrate the whole piece because this was so much fun.

Contact me via lassekarhumusic at gmail dot com and I'll send you the file. It's still unfinished though.

Thank you. Unfortunately no. I learned to play it without sheet music and didn't write my own either.

It does its job very well in this particular section of music.

You are absolutely right. I will update the whole playlist in near future, including the descriptions. Thank you for the feedback!

It should be 10x longer. :)

Vielen Dank. Habt auch eine kreative Woche für euch!

Thank you for commenting, Jan! I love that sound as well. BBCSO Core was on sale a while ago so it was very affordable. I try to post more examples soon.

It certainly works very well with this kind of music.

Ausgezeichnete Punkte. Ich denke, sie klingen alle ziemlich gut, obwohl der 3. etwas angepasst werden muss, um ihn lyrischer zu machen. Ich habe BBCSO Core und die entsprechende NotePerformer Playback Engine gekauft. Ich mag es sehr, wie es klingt und die Partitur ohne Optimierungen zum Leben erweckt (NPPE zaubert hier). Dieser Vergleich unterstreicht jedoch, dass Sie gut klingende Mockups für langsame Saiten erstellen können, ohne Geld für Ihre Software zu verwenden. Auch hier kommt MuseSounds gut mit diesem Bereich zurecht. Mit schnellerer Musik ist es eine andere Geschichte. Vielen Dank für Ihren Kommentar!

@@LasseKarhu Das habe ich doch gerne gemacht. :-)

I like the way you described it. Agree.

Thank you!

@@LasseKarhu You're welcome!

Thank you for commenting! So great to hear what visual images this piece brings to you.
