Actually, the only time I've music-edited a feature film, Max Richter was the main composer for it. (Although the 'score' as such mixes 5-6 new themes with existing pieces that will be familiar to many.) http://penelopa.com.au/en/

Richter is one of the best composers working in modern classical music. Pick up any of his albums; they're all worthwhile. MEMORYHOUSE is a particularly good one; there's a stunning piece on it called "November" which never fails to sweep me away.

He's one of the few composers i'll just buy without bothering with samples or seeing the films. The only one i wouldn't recommend is the Miss Sloane film he did maybe earlier this year. Other than that, you can blind-buy anything and probably really like it. All my stuff is currently in storage or i'd go through them all and recommend stuff.

Well, I suppose it was bound to happen, but it looks like I've fallen for the 'latest flavour'. I first noticed his music while watching SHUTTER ISLAND and his famous piece they used (On The Nature Of Daylight*) and it's brilliant mash-up with the Dinah Washington vocal, This Bitter Earth. Then I happened upon a copy of the CD of MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS for £2 in town and that one has some fantastic tracks too (the last one, the 8 minute Finale, is ace). And then last week, his main theme to AD ASTRA was the best thing about the film to me. So dreamy and tender...and simple. He's like a modernistic version of John Barry, with his seemingly simplistic themes and recurring rhythms. In fact, while watching a film he scored this past weekend (THE LAST DAYS ON MARS) there was a building, repeating suspense cue that actually sounded like John Barry. I also sampled some of his stuff on Spotify and loved what I heard in NEVER LOOK BACK and HOSTILES. So, it looks like I'm on the Richter Scale. *which would later be used as the ONLY emotional music in ARRIVAL.
