Hi everyone!
Things have been a little hectic at this end (in no small part due to having only 17 days to orchestrate a 70 min film score!), so I haven't been particularly active on forums or social media etc. However, yesterday, the Goldsmith Odyssey team alerted me to a really interesting post on FSM; it seems that the lost episode footage for The Committeeman is no longer lost! A big "thank you" goes out to the industrious person who uploaded this to YouTube, as it has brought to light a significant feature of the original recording.
It's no secret that, because of the time-pressures associated with film & TV scoring, composers are often making changes to their music on the recording stage; it appears that The Committeeman is no exception to this rule. As mentioned in the campaign video, one unique sonority included in this score is the tiple (which is basically a small, octave-strung, guitar); however, it appears that (for reasons known only to the people present on the recording stage) Goldsmith changed his mind about featuring this instrument so prominently and decided to expand the range of the guitar-like palette. While listening to the episode it's very clear that Goldsmith eventually used a tiple, an acoustic guitar, and a mandolin for his strummed/plucked timbres. While, on the surface, this might not seem like an earth-shattering revelation, it does quite radically alter the overall sound of the final score.
The timely appearance of this episode on YouTube will enable us to produce an even more accurate presentation of Goldsmith's score for The Committeeman.
Guitar - Tiple - Mandolin
We're also getting very close to reaching our stretch goal for adding Autumn Love to the recording sessions. There has been a little confusion about the final amount needed, due to Kickstarter displaying regional currencies, but (at present) we're requiring just £296/ $361/ €341 to get us across the line!
Thank you, all, and please keep spreading the word!
