I love Daft Punk as much as any music lover...

...but they're 'samplers' -- what are they going to come up with on their own if they don't bastardize the old score from the first movie?

You're joking, right? This is a joke.

Hardly: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJPdVVOmbz4

And don't get me wrong, I love samplers. But I think Disney is going to have problems with copyright if Daft Punk doesn't take a new aim on the creation of a movie score.

So it is a simple question: what are they going to do?

If they go above and beyond their normal approach, it could really suck -- or it could be just about the best thing any of us have heard. I'm hoping for the later.

I submit for your attention: Daft Punk's article on Wikipedia. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daft_punk) Daft Punk has sampled, true. This does not by any means define their works as nothing more than creative sampling, and it is unfair to suggest that it does.

I wasn't suggesting that -- but mention the 'S' word and people assume you mean insult. So to hell with me trying to soften the question. Fans lose their ability to understand proper proportional responses anyway.

The question remains: Hollywood is bat-shit crazy when it comes to copyrights, and this isn't an underground music revolt here, it's a movie produced by Disney -- so what is Daft Punk going to do?

You just don't get it, then.

But this is Z's LJ, so I'll let him ah... correct you. :)

Well, ol' Pseudo has a point. Daft Punk likes to dig in the record crates.
But they're quite capable of coming up with their own stuff, as heard on their albums.
The movie doesn't come out until 2011.
Plenty of time for them to come up with something nice and original.

Also, you kids knock it off. :)

I'm actually hoping they sample from Wendy Carlos' score for the original movie.

I'd still like to know exactly what it is that I don't "get" that Coyoteseven would like someone to show me...

They'll....probably just pay for rights for all the stuff they sample? Disney got deep pockets.

Now, how did I know that you were going to link to "Gantz Graf"? :D
Autechre went totally around the bend by "Album 7" or whatever it's called.
I used to like 'em a lot, but they lost me when the noise to signal ratio went through the roof.
The only reason I even like "Gantz Graf" is because of that stunning video.
I'm more partial to something like "Second Bad Vilbel".

Haha, how very appropriate!

I hope they have Wendy Carlos on speed dial.

Seconded!

Yeah, the original soundtrack is still one of the best things I've ever heard. :D

I'm just glad T2on (title: meh) is happening at all. ^.^

Me too! I'm so excited!!
And it's still 2 years away! Argh!


[identity profile] araquan.livejournal.com 2009-03-06 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
Me, I'm cautiously optimistic. But still nail-biting just the same.
