Intrada Soundtrack Forum

Here is a quote from Craig Safan concerning the REMO score which appeared in the article "The Shape of Things to Come: Film Composers to Listen For" by Steven Smith (The Cue Sheet. Sep 1986. Vol 3, No 3). Unfortunately, due to space limitations, I could not fit it into the liner notes, but am very proud of being part of the creative team who put this out.

On experimental orchestral scoring: "I'm fascinated by the interrelationship of music and sound. I like mixing media -- orchestra with synthesizers, ethnic instruments, strange brass and percussion. With instruments like the synclavier sounds can be put onto a keyboard, tuned and mixed with more conventional sounds. For me, that's the future of film music."

THE PRISONER

This is the precise attitude towards musical composition that Gil Melle' had espoused for many years of creating original electronic instruments that would not take the place of existing orchestras, but co-exist in music. A musical synthesis of creating new harmonies and sonorities.

The Moog synthesizer and Wendy Carlos's SWITCHED ON BACH forever changed music creativity in the late 1970's and became de rigueurin the European and American pop idiom for rock and film.
