Re: Marianelli pro-DP!
Great quote, but also applies to ANY composing by commission, as far as I'm concerned. I've worked with some real idiots and conversely, some incredibly talented geniuses, and remaining true to yourself is critical. One of my favorite stories is the score to Seinfeld. The producers hated the idea of the slap bass guitar. The composer (Johnathan Wolff?) fought for it and not it is iconic. You can't hear a slap bass and NOT think of that show - at least, I can't.“YOU NEED TO BE INCREDIBLY STRONG AS A FILM COMPOSER, YOU NEED TO BE ABSOLUTELY CLEAR IN YOURSELF ABOUT WHAT’S IMPORTANT, AND IF IT HAPPENS THAT YOU’RE SACKED, SO BE IT... IT DOESN’T CHANGE, ULTIMATELY, WHO YOU ARE.”
And yes, it takes and incredibly strong person to defend such things and you have to be willing to loose the gig.

MLC, it turns out that Wolff has become a neighbor of mine(!) here in Louisvlle, KY!MIDI Life Crisis wrote:One of my favorite stories is the score to Seinfeld.

I haven't met up with him yet, but- for your entertainment - here's a local interview that he did when he move back here:

Re: Marianelli pro-DP!
I rarely get to the end of these things, but I LOVED that interview. The only thing I'll take exception to is his claim that he is the worst actor in the world. I retain that title, hands down (no pun intended). Also, I'll NEVER retire. Retire to what? I don't feel like I've had a job in many decades. Butt eye digress...williemyers wrote: I haven't met up with him yet, but- for your entertainment - here's a local interview that he did when he move back here:

He seems like a great person. Thanks for sharing that.

Re: Marianelli pro-DP!

Re: Marianelli pro-DP!
I'm sure we have a few friends and acquaintances in common. George Castanza, for one. I've done a few shows with Jason (as recently as this past December). I've played a lot of comedy shows in LA with lots of these guys. It can be a wild, and always intelligent, bunch. I love smart, educated, and cultured people. Cleary, he fits into that group. He reminds me of another TV film composer friend, Eban Schletter. They have a very similar energy and enthusiasm when talking about their work. I always saw that as an obsession, but clearly Johnathan is not so obsessed as to let it interfere with enjoying his life (and neither does Eban - who, BTW, is a DP user).williemyers wrote:if I run in to him up at the park - - the one you saw him and his family frolicking in - - I'll pass on your regards....and ask him if he uses DP!

Re: Marianelli pro-DP!
I was following a lot of the WorkJuice Players / Thrilling Adventure Hour stuff as well as Paul F. Tomkins (and the Pod F. Tomkast) which featured Eban Schletter. Wonderfully fun player.

He has a fantastic studio in the heart of Hollywood and plays a mean theremin, plus he's a great guy.stubbsonic wrote:I was following a lot of the WorkJuice Players / Thrilling Adventure Hour stuff as well as Paul F.

Re: Marianelli pro-DP!
I heard him play theremin as part of the Beyond Belief series (god, I love those!) He wrote some songs around some valentines day special that were quite clever.

This is a revealing and inspiring conversation which goes to the heart and soul of approaching music for film. I recommend taking the time to watch this to experienced and novice composers alike.

Re: Marianelli pro-DP!
Yes, lots of good, useful stuff in this interview. And a good plug for DP coming from someone working at that level. ...kinda funny, right out of the box the interviewer takes an unprovoked pot shot at DP! What the heck?frankf wrote:This is a revealing and inspiring conversation which goes to the heart and soul of approaching music for film.

Among other things, I like his take on getting fired from scoring a film. Though it's pretty common, you don't hear people talk about that much. As anyone who's ever had that happen will tell you, that experience can really mess with you.
