CINEMA MUSICA: INTERVIEW WITH JAMES HORNER

Conducted by Basil Boehni, Vice editor-in-chief of Cinema Musica. Held: 31 October 2011, in Frankfurt Am Main (Germany). Published in Cinema Musica in April 2012 (in German). The two photos of James Horner were taken by Matthias Keller.   Basil Boehni (BB): You’re working in the movie business for over 30 years very successfully. Can you still just sit back, relax and enjoy a movie or do you immediately jump into an analytical viewing of the film? James Horner: Well, when I’ve finished a film I really don’t ever watch the movie again. I see the movie when it’s been mixed – the music, the effects[...]

CONVERSATION WITH JAMES HORNER

"If you build it he will come ..." Just like Ray Kinsella, the character played by Kevin Costner in Field of Dreams, a voice (or rather my intuition) led me to create the Association and the James Horner Film Music website. Every minute, every hour spent working for this project was partly guided by an objective I held close in my heart: publish a new, previously unreleased conversation with James Horner. I gave myself five years to get there. Next January we will celebrate four years of JHFM... Unlike the composer, who never listens again to his old music and who never[...]

THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN: WEAVING A WEB OF STARS

[divider]“James Horner on a super-hero movie!?”[/divider] Astonishment and questioning. Such were our both reactions nine months ago, while we were waiting for Black Gold, when the composer’s long-time editor Jim Henrikson announced the possible involvement of James Horner to the new theatrical adaptation of Spider-Man. Astonishment, first, as this is clearly not a universe into which the composer is used to venturing. If we pay close attention to his filmography and if we exclude The Mask Of Zorro, out of more than hundred films he did only one film based upon a comics character, i.e. an avenger who distinguish him/herself in[...]

JON KULL: "HONOR THE COMPOSER'S INTENT - MAKE SURE HIS MUSIC SOUNDS FABULOUS!"

To coincide with the opening of our collaboration section, we wanted to focus on a profession that is rarely promoted: orchestrator. We had therefore the great pleasure of interviewing Jon Kull, who worked with James Horner on scores including Avatar and The Amazing Spider-Man. The delicacy of his answers sheds light on the creation of orchestrations in film music.   How did you become an orchestrator in Hollywood? What is your background?

Along with being a[...]

THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN ON BLU-RAY

Marc Webb's film is now available. On both Blu-Ray editions James Horner makes an appearance in the documentary ‘Rite of Passage’, in the chapter entitled ‘The Greatest Responsibility: Post-Production and Release’.       Firstly, Marc Webb goes back on the creation of the main theme: "James Horner would always excel about creating a very specific, simple theme that he could play with one hand on a keyboard. James was walking in the studio one day and he came up and he said “I’ve got something for you” and there was that “tin tin tin” (singing the Spider-Man theme). And I got chills. With the[...]
