Just found this on another forum -- (quote) :
Dredd (2012) composer Paul Leonard-Morgan had some interesting ideas of his own in response to questions on how he approached Dredd : "Take a bunch of 80's analog synths, stick them through every distortion pedal known to man, then add on some crunched up beats, and you should be halfway there ..."
Listen to the emphasis Dredd Exec Producer Stuart Ford places on the "propulsive, super-contemporary score", here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3RxfuDbhTc&feature=results_video&playnext=1&list=PLA04557859246446F
And, apparently a CD with Leonard-Morgan's music is comming from Lionsgate Records on Sept. 27!

Well, I am sure he is a terrific - uh, programmer, of computer geek, but that is not musical composition.
again with this?
it's music pal, it's music.
So Nyborg, virtually anything and everything that is a sound at all of any kind is music.
If I record people walking across the street - yeah, that could score a movie,
If I record my typing on this keyboard and - well maybe process it somehow sure, I am a composer.
Again, absurb, just like the last thread. There is a difference between music and sound, there is a difference between recording and 'processing' sounds and composition. Your argument entirely diminishes the skill and study of people who are trained musical composers, and not just recorders and mixers of sounds.

The movie is okay--starts off pretty bad (and severely limited by budget constraints), then works its way up to passable by the end. .
Would you say that it is better or worse than the previous Judge Dredd with Stallone?
Because I liked that one..

I think you could say that anyone can do what he described there, there is nothing musical or artistic about it. But, apparently these guys do not see the train coming down the track - eliminating them entirely. The studios can have data-banks full of this dreck and just alter it here and there and re-use it in endless movies without any composers or musicians.
I think he was making a joke.
However, like it or not Mr. Leonard Morgan is a much a composer as Jerry Goldsmith or James Horner just like Trent Reznor, Cliff Martinez, and Job Brion are composers along with John Barry.
The same caliber? The same "talent"?
All a matter of taste.
However, the composer is hired to create a work that fits the film be it traditional film score, electronic, or sound design/scape.
I think it is rather disrespectful that you can claim that there is no musical or artistic talent but then again, some people see Pollock and see paint splashed on a canvas.
No one is saying you must like it or not even speak your mind on it but show some respect to the composer.

The samples that Uhtred posted are not good examples of what we should expect from this score... Maybe something in the vein of "Limitless"...
Anyway... wouldn't this be a great opportunity to have a new CD release with Silvestri's huge score in complete form, a 2CD set!... Ah, dreams...
