Hi all, Im just sharing this from my page - for a while, Ive toyed with the idea of running a kick-starter, in order to fund a Jerry Goldsmith re-recording. My reasons for doing this are two-fold: a) Im a life-long fan of Goldsmiths work myself, and feel strongly about the necessity to preserve and re-visit his music. b) The companies that have spent so much, on the wonderful re-recordings that are already available to us, very rarely make a decent profit (if any!) for their efforts (this, I know, is no secret). So, if were going to request more re-recordings, and if we want to see more of these projects come to fruition, then were probably going to have to lend a hand (unless someone knows a film-music fan whos also lottery-winner!). With this in mind, Ive come up with a short poll of scores that (for various reasons) would be good candidates for re-recording (admittedly, some of these may not be everyones first choice, but a decision has had to be made, and youre never going to please everybody, all of the time). If the response to this is positive, then Im quite happy to launch a kick-starter based on its results......worst case scenario, the necessary funding cant be found and nothing happens......best case scenario, we end up with something very special; a project completely funded by the community of film music fans. So, here they are: LIONHEART - one of Goldsmiths best scores, unfortunately marred by some poor performances (to the extent that he overdubbed the majority of brass lines with synthesisers!). This, would be the top-bracket project....but likely to be expensive! LILIES OF THE FIELD - a beautiful and sensitive score, under-represented in recorded form. Likely to be less expensive than Lionheart, due to the size of ensemble. THRILLER (TV Suites) - some of the composers most inventive work. Never released in album form. This would be the smallest (and cheapest) option, in terms of project size. However, there maybe a very slight issue with copyright permission, as its never been commercially available. Please do take a moment to vote, and, more importantly, feel free to share the link...the more feedback, the better!!
