BREAKING NEWS: CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO JOINS WROCK A few months ago, WROCK’s CEO, Gerry Gallagher, emailed me asking if I wanted to provide a film, TV and video game music radio show for his station. I obliged and decided to produce a pilot episode. I sent that show off to Gerry earlier this week, and yesterday afternoon I got confirmation that I will be apart of his station. I couldn’t be more thrilled! http://www.wrockradio.com So, until the first episode airs on WROCK, I thought I’d give my loyal CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO listeners a sneak peak at the first episode. The format of the show will be a bit different then what you might be used to from an episode of CINEMATIC SOUND. The show will be two hours long. My goal is to play at least 3 scores from new films, TV shows and/or video games. I’m also going to feature the John Williams track of the week as he’s my favourite composer. I will also play a selection from a new recording of a previously existing score – that could be from anything like a new recording of a Golden Age classic to a new interpretation of a brand new score. I will also play a selection from a video game score; brand new or classic. I will end each program with suite of end title music. And don’t worry, ALL WROCK shows will be archived here for you to enjoy at any time. The pilot episode opens with the main title from STAR WARS, which is what opened my inaugural program back in September 1996. The show continues with selections from TALE OF A LAKE (Aaltio) • STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS (Williams) • THE ROBE (Newman) • KUNG FU PANDA 3 (Zimmer) • DIABLO (T. Williams) • WORLD OF WARCRAFT: CATACLYSM (Various Artists) • ALIEN (Goldsmith) • PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES (Velazquez) • TAXI DRIVER (Herrmann) • BROKEN ARROW (Zimmer) As always, and especially in this case, I would love to read your feedback and get your suggestions on how I can make this particular show better. I’m also encouraging requests for this show. So, if there is something you want to hear please let me know. Send an EMAIL with your name and what track you want to hear.

http://filmmusiccritics.org/2016/02/ifmca-award-nominations-2015/ INTERNATIONAL FILM MUSIC CRITICS ASSOCIATION AWARD NOMINATIONS ANNOUNCED; OCTOGENARIAN VETERANS JOHN WILLIAMS AND ENNIO MORRICONE LEAD THE FIELD, MULTIPLE NOMINATIONS FOR MICHAEL GIACCHINO, LATE JAMES HORNER FEBRUARY 4, 2016. The International Film Music Critics Association (IFMCA) announces its list of nominees for excellence in musical scoring in 2015, for the 12th annual IFMCA Awards. The most nominated composers are industry veterans John Williams and Ennio Morricone, as well as Michael Giacchino, and the late James Horner. 83-year old John Williams receives four nominations, all for his score for the smash hit sci-fi adventure “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” directed by J. J. Abrams, which is nominated for Score of the Year, Best Fantasy/Science Fiction/Horror score, and Film Music Composition of the Year. Williams also receives a personal nomination as Composer of the Year. Williams has previously been nominated for 31 IFMCA Awards, winning on 12 occasions, including Score of the Year for “Memoirs of a Geisha” in 2005 and “War Horse” in 2011. 87-year old Italian legend Ennio Morricone receives four nominations; three for his score from director Quentin Tarantino’s dark western “The Hateful Eight,” which is recognized in the Score of the Year, Best Drama score, and Film Music Composition of the Year categories, and one for himself as Composer of the Year. Morricone has been nominated for IFMCA Awards on seven previous occasions; his last Score of the Year nomination was in 1999, for “La Leggenda del Pianista sull'Oceano [The Legend of 1900]”. Michael Giacchino’s nominations are split between three works: the moving Disney-Pixar animated film “Inside Out,” which is nominated for Best Animation score; the ambitious science fiction epic “Jupiter Ascending,” which is nominated for Score of the Year and Best Fantasy/Science Fiction/Horror score; and the fantasy adventure “Tomorrowland,” which is nominated in the Film Music Composition of the Year category. Giacchino has previously been nominated for a total of 31 IFMCA Awards, winning twelve of them. He won the Best Score award in 2004 for “The Incredibles,” in 2009 for “Up,” and was named Composer of the Year in both those years. James Horner, who was tragically killed in a plane crash this past June, receives three nominations for his score for the Chinese-language drama “Wolf Totem” directed by Jean-Jacques Annaud, which is recognized in the Score of the Year, Best Drama score, and Film Music Composition of the Year categories. Horner is also nominated as Composer of the Year, and in so doing becomes the first composer to be nominated in this category posthumously. Prior to this year, Horner’s lifetime IFMCA tally stood at 14 nominations, with one win, for “The Mask of Zorro,” in 1998. The other nominee for Score of the Year is Patrick Doyle’s score for the romantic Disney fantasy “Cinderella,” while the other composer vying for the title of Composer of the Year is Daniel Pemberton, who wrote several outstanding scores in 2015, including the big-screen reboot of the 1960s spy thriller franchise “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.,” and “Steve Jobs,” a dramatic look at the inner workings of the Apple corporation across several decades. Each year the IFMCA goes out of its way to recognize emerging talent in the film music world, and this year is no exception. The nominees in the Breakthrough Composer of the Year category include the alternative pop group Cat’s Eyes – comprising English musician Faris Badwan and Italian-Canadian soprano/composer/instrumentalist Rachel Zeffira – who wrote a dream-like score for the experimental British erotic film “The Duke of Burgundy”; British composer Gareth Coker, for his immensely popular score for the video game “Ori and the Blind Forest”; Swedish composer Ludwig Göransson, who brought the spirit of Rocky Balboa back to life with his score for the boxing drama “Creed”; Italian composer Maurizio Malagnini, whose scores for the British fantasy film “Peter and Wendy,” as well as the popular TV series “Call the Midwife,” caught the attention of the group; and Spanish composer Diego Navarro, whose score for the animated film “Atrapa la Bandera [Capture the Flag]” was a rousing celebration of the heroism of space exploration. As it has in previous years, the IFMCA takes pride in honoring composers from across the film music world; this year’s international nominees include French composer Armand Amar for his score from the expansive documentary feature “Human,” Hungarian composer Robert Gulya for his charming music for the adventurous Mark Twain adaptation “Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn,” Argentine composer Federico Jusid for his superb work on the Spanish TV series “Carlos, Rey Emperador” (the sequel to the multi-IFMCA Award-winning “Isabel”), veteran French composer Michel Legrand for his delightful score for the comedy “La Rançon de la Gloire [The Price of Fame],” Spanish composer Fernando Velázquez for his chilling work on the beautiful gothic horror film “Crimson Peak,” and French-Lebanese composer Gabriel Yared for his score for the poetic and philosophical animated film “Kahlil Gibran’s The Prophet”. Several other composers are receiving their first ever IFMCA Award nominations this year, including Jessica Curry (“Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture,” Video Game), Bryce Dessner (“The Revenant,” Action/Adventure/Thriller), Darren Fung (“The Great Human Odyssey,” Documentary), Tom Holkenborg (“Mad Max: Fury Road,” Fantasy/Sci-Fi/Horror), Joshua Johnson (“I Am Big Bird: The Carroll Spinney Story,” Documentary), Joe Kraemer (“Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation,” Action/Adventure/Thriller), Matthew Margeson (“Kingsman: The Secret Service,” Action/Adventure/Thriller), Alva Noto (“The Revenant,” Action/Adventure/Thriller), and Ryuichi Sakamoto (“The Revenant,” Action/Adventure/Thriller).

UPDATE: September 13, 2015 GUEST APPEARANCE ON VISIONS IN SOUND On Saturday, September 12th, at midnight I was honoured to be apart of Robert Daniels’ VISIONS IN SOUND 780th episode. Robert kindly invited me onto his fantastic Kitchener, Ontario based film music radio program to chat film, TV and video game music and play some of our favourite scores. We chatted about my much celebrated THE PHANTOM MENACE broadcast, which Joker we like the best, Ford Thaxton, meeting Michael Giacchino and various other topics. I also brought along music from John Williams’ RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK, Michael Giacchino’s unreleased score to SEMPER FI and a few selections from Charles Gerhardt’s Classic Film Score Series of recordings. You can listen to the archived program at https://sites.google.com/site/visionsinsoundarchive/ You can listen to Robert’s show weekly on 98.5 CKWR in Kitchener or stream the program live from midnight to 2am every Saturday morning at ckwr.com.
