back to your usual programming i think the past/present suite is one of the greatest examples of an absolutely gut-wrenching energy build on a single beat with repeated, slow motifs in contemporary music. britell talks about creating a "wall of sound" in this piece and absolutely fucking nails it. what i would give to play this in a full orchestra.

#no hate to john williams but like. honestly this is 1000x more interesting than the classic star wars soundtracj #still working with your traditional concepts of composition and all but. nicholas britell has made something so incredibly cohesive.#john williams relies on his style being the same to build a symphony #britell has branched out and created unique sounds for unique settings and people and institutions #and yet it's still movements in a symphony bc they're all tied together #No track in this exists separate from the others. there is always something to connect #fr though i am so biased bc jws music is just so like obviously his you know. it all sounds like that.#its so much fucking fun to have something so different and i can't imagine this show with anything other than this score.#andor #every day i find new things to think about!
