TENET

Listening to the TENET score today, I realized that most of the magic in this score is from the rhythmic ideas, and textures he uses. Love the energy. :dancedance:

Is that drone melody a preset?

Yes and no. It's an old preset I made based on a ambient drone tutorial on Youtube. Can't find the video anymore but the name of the patch is Vort3x drone so I guess that was the name of the channel.

I heavily modified it to get the sound I wanted and added some distortion and reverb.
 
Finally saw this film for the first time (streaming, HBO Max, with subtitles). It’s a gorgeous spectacle, to be sure (huge shoutout to cinematography, editing, and practical effects), and I love the high concept, but overall it felt like Inception without the heart. Each character is great on their own, but nearly none of their interrelationships landed for me. None of the plot twists were twisty, nor were the ‘wham’ moments hard-hitting.


In short, it’s an incredible technical achievement (especially considering when it was produced/released), but I found myself eager to see how well the filmic/cinematic experience would unfold rather than how the characters’ lives would and how their needs would be met or unmet.

Crashing a real 747? Inverted action choreographies? Totally cool! It was so obvious that this was a practical film, and that level of operational gravity and impact is ultimately what I think this film will be remembered for.
 
In relation to the new info I just posted in my Oppenheimer thread, I was also given a VERY cool piece of info about this score by the same person that absolutely blew my mind when I heard it

So during the sequence “Trucks in Place” all the synths and other elements of the music and sidechained to the kick, well there was an early idea to have EVERYTHING sidechained to the kick, not just all the music elements, but the dialogue and the sound effects as well, literally all the audio during that sequence was going to be sidechained to the kick

When I heard that my mind was completely blown, I was just standing there imagining what that would’ve sounded like and what my reaction would’ve been if that had actually stuck to that idea and did it in the film. I know it would’ve drove a lot of people crazy and there would’ve been even more complaints about the dialogue than there already are, but that would’ve been a game changer for sure and I wish they would’ve done it
