Hopefully Elfman can teach certain other composers today how to use percussion properly.
Where's Thor? He's late to this. You know, that is if he's not busy shake, rattle and rolling Trekkers or Trekkies.

Remember the days when their was a total disconnect between film and concert stuff. You were one or the other. Now I can’t count all the Concertos and new works from Elfman’s new stuff including a big orchestral piece, a concerto, a ballet, etc to JNH and his violin and cello Concertos as well as an orchestral piece; Horner’s two late Concertos, Goldenthal’s Symphony and Trumpet Concerto. Eidelman’s Symphony.
I think these composers are seeing a viable expressive path and new opportunities for themselves away from Hollywood which has changed so much.
Yeah and I feel a.bit guilty that I never check out these concert works .
Even from composer's I love!

No, I'm aware of it. I've commented on the Music for a Darkened People forum, for example.
Looking forward to it! From the samples I've heard, it sounds rather like Elfman's percussion music for The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo back in the late 70s and early 80s. Scroll to 3:58 here to see what I'm talking about:
That’s gamelan Balinese-inspired music. Danny Elfman has mentioned his interest in that in early interviews as well as inspiration from composers Harry Partch and Lou Harrison who himself was influenced by Partch and experimented with gamelan music in the 60s. It’s fascinating because the gamelan plays different scales than western music and is not tuned to western tunings at all which gives it a very unique sound. It shares similar qualities to the mystery of the Phrygian scale, which is right up Elfman’s alley.
