Over the years people assumed James Horner was merely "ripping himself off", but anyone who has truly followed his music from beginning to end can see (hear) the development and evolution of his material, and this idea is a prime example. It began in "Sneakers" (1992) performed with vocals, piano horn and drum, heard in the album's main title. The idea was expanded on a year later in "Searching for Bobby Fischer", then years later here in "Bicentennial Man" (1999) in the opening cue (the only use of it in the film). Two years later it was elaborated on for the final time, as a main thematic idea throughout "A Beautiful Mind". In every instance this piano based chord shifting idea is representative of both intelligence and strategic movements. Sneakers used it as the blind character Whistler was using sound to pinpoint locations. Bobby Fischer used it as dance of chess moves, Bicentennial Man used it for the opening assembly of the machine Andrew, and Beautiful Mind used it as sound of mathematical patterns
Absolutely stunning! I've worked out 'The Wedding' and 'Mechanical Love' by ear and have performed them. Love 'Mechanical Age', great to see someone has worked that one out. Beautiful performance, loved listening to it, brilliant! :)
