Journal 49182 by Tinypliny

07/04/09 04:45 - 58.ºF - ID#49182Category: musicTransformed

The new movie may not be much to write home about (quite literally, I didn't), but the soundtrack to both movies are worth writing to the world about. They are nothing short of phenomenal. Something about them is compelling and worth listening to, time and again - especially the score from the first movie.

No doubt this amazing keyboardist feels the same. He combines two of Steve Jablonsky's finest pieces from the score to the first film and transfoms them with his personal touch into one fluent passionate piece.

And a final track to illustrate just how derailed and completely baffling the second movie was...

A friend sent me this picture of the falcon baby that fell out of its nest on one of the towers at University at Buffalo, last week.

Strangely, it reminds me of a puppy who has done something mischievous!

WOW what a great picture! The falcon is in that moment just before the look of I meant to do that! Thank you for sharing. Good Luck on your proposal. Keep us updated!

The falcon baby is now under expert care and doing well according to latest reports. :)

Nice! Can't wait to hear your defence stories! :) Unfortunately, it's not time for my thesis defence yet. It's only a proposal "defence" (I just call it a proposal but I have heard a ton of people call it a defence - I don't think it is, though.) I am still quite a distance from the real final dissertation defence.

My dear university (UofR) believes in 130+ page proposals (with everything and the kitchen sink thrown in. Just the result-tables are not in there). At this rate, I am beginning to doubt if there will be anything left to write when I actually reach the final dissertation defence!

I am having trouble aligning my committee's schedules as well. I bet even rearranging the skies for planetary goodwill might not do the trick. ;)

Tentatively scheduled for September 4th. I wanted to have it earlier, but summer is impossible to schedule with faculty vacations and all. Hey, at least someone gets to go on vacation.

When will yours be?!

Doctors in da house!!! We should live blog simultaneous defense parties in NYC and B'lo.

I sent my first draft in and I just have one more chapter to go (and a few references to fix). Then it's committee meetings and formal proposal time!! :) Massive good luck with yours? When is the defence?

businesscheese writes at 01:38:52 06/30/09 - Comment #49531

I want one!

How's the thesis writing going for you?

tinypliny writes at 12:51:22 06/27/09 - Comment #49436

I think they have rescued it and its in safe hands. :)

An awesome memory that floated past me once more today. Peter Allen's Tenterfield Saddler.

06/18/09 20:42 - 58.ºF - ID#49001Category: musicClint Mansell = Linkin Park. No, Really!

How can you not draw this conclusion hearing these two tunes??!

Exhibit A: Clint Mansell: Stay With Me (The Fountain OST, 2006)

Exhibit B: Linkin Park: Numb (Meteora, 2003)

They are so strangely similar. Though one is "rock"-ish and the other is "classical"-ish the underlying notes, repetition and rhythm share such a very strong resemblance. I wish I knew music theory to be able to analyze these tunes further.

Was Clint Mansell "inspired by" (of all the bands on this planet) Linkin Park??! The possibility completely blows my mind.

PS: e:boxerboi, I can't wait for your journal. And you know which one! big_grin
