Titanic + Ned on Discovery US

Hey friends,

For those of you in the US, a docudrama I composed the score to is premiering on Discovery US. It's called, What Sank Titanic?, and it's airing at 8 pm and 11 pm. The score is haunting, and follows the dramatic stories of a few passengers. Lots of synthesizers, big percs, Cinebrass, LASS Sordino, dancing elephants*, etc.

* I use them for kick drum action o=? o=?

PS: some of you may remember that I did the soundtrack to another Titanic docudrama a few years back, but that one was called Who Sank the Titanic? :shock: :lol: . The next one will probably be called something else entirely, like, I Know What You Sank Last Summer.

That's right 1912. Titanic is a favorite subject of the US so you will get a lot of viewers - including me of course.

Here's the link for the trailer (not my music, natch) which gives you an idea of the style of the film:

Hey, I thought there would be a flood of comments here about Ned's brilliant score. A very deftly handled score with lots of variety and right choices at every turn. Unobtrusive and upfront at the same time. He avoided all the pitfalls of synthesized elements and really made the case for that approach with a highly musical score that both served and added to the film enormously. His orchestral sections were nailed as well and used to heighten the drama while contrasting the synth/rhythm driven sections. Very gifted fellow obviously.

One of the best scores I've heard from anyone in any medium of late.

That's quite an endorsement right there!

You go Ned! _-)
 
Well no power for almost two days now so I'm on limited generator power. I hope they repeat this or I can YouTube it! Maybe it will be on On Demand.
