Keep track of all the reviews you have written on movies.Tyler Bates may not believe himself to be a sadistic S.House of 1000 Corpses, and it's sure to be just as nuts.Tyler Bates: I had met Rob Zombie a few times in the past and a mutual friend went with him to the Dawn of the Dead premiere and told me the following day that Rob really dug the music.He phoned me up and that was that.Tyler: They had been cutting the film for a few weeks at the point I came on board.Tyler: Certainly with Rob Zombie, something of his experience directing music videos probably did seep into it, because he became more comfortable working on his final cut.UGO: Did the fact that The Devil's Rejects is such a sick work throw you off at all, or do you like that?But I did find the film to be very compelling and part of what's so screwed up about it is the events that take place are so heinous and so hard to handle, but at the same time the way Rob shot this film and the way he constructed it makes it very compelling all the way through.Even though it feels so wrong, it feels so right (laughs).He's such an intelligent guy and has a really interesting sense of humor that, once you get to know him a little bit, you know that this is only a smart part of his creativity.The source cues happened to be a reprieve from the film and the score.The goal of the score was to transcend the mindset of all these sociopaths.There were certain elements to the score that might be sympathetic to the victims and might be turning screws a little bit on the protagonist, but at the end of the day it's based on motifs more than scenes underscoring each character.Tyler: Me personally, no.But I think what Rob wants you to experience is how, even though these are horrible people, you can see how they feel for each other and how they're bound together.UGO: Are we supposed to care and feel sorry about what happens to the three killers?Tyler: (laughs) I think that's up to the individual.The thing that's harsh about it is that, aside from their heinous behavior and the criminal acts that they commit and have committed, you see a bond between them.Then there was a session of, like, acid rock and manic noise for a day.This week, I'm beginning a film called Slithers.UGO: What kind of score are you putting together for that?"You are aware that this is probably five times heavier than anything that's ever come out in this genre?"He wants to spawn a new generation of this kind of film.UGO: What was the test shot exactly?We see a line of the Spartans line up against the army of 10,000 Persians ready to invade.ScoreKeeper With Composer Tyler Bates Re: 300, WATCHMEN, And Rob Zombie's HALLOWEEN!!ScoreKeeper here fresh off the battle fields of Thermopylae toting the undying words of he who scribed music for King Leonidas, Queen Gorgo, and the 300 Spartans who defended their land from the invading Persian army.How did you and Zack first start working together?Zack I compiled a CD of obscure music that I thought tonally might have some relevance to the film.Zack showed me the first eight or nine minutes of the film and I had some ideas as to what I would like to do with it.From what I heard my name kept coming back up when Zack would talk about music.Look, if you hire me I promise you I will not screw up your movie.DAWN OF THE DEAD was a great experience.What were some of the first inkling thoughts that went through your brain when you were first introduced to 300?TB: No, I started writing right away because I scored this animatic that Zack put together to present to studios to hopefully get the film made.SK: I think the ultimate testimony to that is the film itself.What kind of director is Zack?He really pushes everybody to do their best work which he does in a very enthusiastic way.Europe would never have existed as it does today.Zack has any intention of making this a political film.With so much potential to go in such a wide variety of different directions with the music, what was the one thing about the film that you really latched on to that inspired the whole score?When Zack was originally discussing the film with me he said he wanted there to be the creation of three worlds sonically as well as visually.Coupled with that you have narration.Can you elaborate more on how you handled those slow motion action sequences and how the tempo of the scene is reflected in the music?TB: Generally when it slows down you are in a headspace.The last thing I need to do is make them silly.It creates a space so that it leaves room for sound effects, dialogue, and general ambience.It creates a sound that is foreboding and very powerful.Obviously when we get into battle mode it gets a little crazier.Anything that you express within the music is going to really tip the movie one way or another.Personally that scene was really tough.The one request I got was that it be poignant without being too syrupy.SK: Was there a particular scene in the film that you were most proud of?We see this huge shadow of the immortals behind her and ultimately a tree of dead people that were hoisted up by the immortals.That one to me was one of my favorite scenes from the film.He was coming with me to conduct the orchestra in London so we had to leave for the airport at 5PM and I think that I finished the cue around 12:30 that day and Tim managed to complete the orchestration before we left for the airport.SK: When would you start scoring that?To me the specific actor can change everything about how I perceive a character to be.John Carpenter original theme but in the Rob Zombie aesthetic.Tyler for taking the time out to converse with me.Interviews

07..Please login to post talkback.Mark Romanek leaves WOLF MAN!Report broken links and other web problems to webmaster at aintitcool.Exclusive: Tyler Bates Interview!No, this is about the musician who composed the film's score, Tyler Bates, who has been making waves in Hollywood after a number of breakout hit movies.Somehow, he also has time for his own personal music project, Roseland with 300 vocalist Azam Ali as well.We're mixing the music even today and they're dubbing the movie, so I'll be writing another ten minutes before Monday I'm sure.Bates: No, I couldn't because it was overlapping with "300" and they wanted me to go to that.Shock: When tackling remakes like "Halloween" and "Dawn of the Dead", both well known horror movies with equally familiar music, how do you go about approaching something like that?It's cool, but it was so specific to the time and "Dawn of the Dead," the Zack Snyder version, had such a different attitude, and it had to become about something other than the consumerism and all that stuff that was going on in the original.Now how it actually came about was that Rob called me a year and a half ago and said, "Hey, I'm thinking about doing this.We talked about it and he said, "Would you mind working up a theme for me to go into the Weinsteins and lay out my presentation as far as what kind of movie I want to make?"Really what I did was it was to express not just that theme but also to express the aesthetic that Rob set out to do, so a lot of the contents of the music was embodying the character of what you might imagine the action, the violence, the drama, all of it to be, and the entire psychotic nature of the film and Rob's aesthetic.When Rob called me, I said, "This is a guilty pleasure just to be able to commit those notes of the theme to a movie."When I first saw "Halloween," it just blew my mind and the theme blew my mind, I just loved it.Basically I had done it and they temped it in there.Bates: Well, you know what?This was before Warner Bros.Zack told me, "This the bible, this is the movie."He told me what he was doing and he said, "We want to film these pages, make an animatic out of it and present it to the studio and we're also going to show other things, like statuettes and drawings and costumes, if you can do music for it."Shock: The first time I watched "300," I was blown away by the music, because that's really the one thing you can't get from reading the graphic novel.From that, we started talking about filming once Warner Bros.Shock: And there's a new CD out soon, too, right?This was music she was really involved in."Give me some of that Film Score Oohs and Ahs 101" you usually hear.Shock: What was your background before you started doing film scores?She had an amazing stereo, and she used to buy 12 records a week, so I would just get hooked on all kinds of records, whether it's Frank Zappa's "Hot Rats" when I was 4 years old, "Jesus Christ Superstar," "Hair," the Beatles, Joni Mitchell, Burt Bacharach, Mingus, all this stuff I was listening to as a little kid.Bates: I love it, too, and so the music supervisor G.Marq Roswell, he was on it, and he saw how I handled the process.He knew I made no money, I lost money on it and yet I hung in there and I did a lot of music for Mario.I'm a dark person by nature, but I've just never done like a bonafide horror movie, and he said, "I'll get you a meeting with Zack Snyder.And I said, "It just needs to be visceral, kind of like Krzysztof Panderecki.""Kind of like Panderecki, Bartok, that kind of 20th Century dissonant orchestral work" and right as I said "Panderecki", Eric Newman, Randy Newman's son who was a producer on it, walked in the door with a Panderecki CD and he's like, "I can't believe you just said that.Of course the studio didn't want me.They wanted a big name guy and weeks went by and they kept asking Zack what he really wants to do, and he was like "I dunno.He's a loyal person as long as you are committed to doing your own personal best.Doesn't mean you can't make mistakes but as long as you're committed to being your own best, he's a loyal person and I appreciate that.That was a different story.Shock: It's gotta be a different relationship because Rob actually comes from a music background, and in theory, he could do his own score if he really wanted to.I'd met Rob a number of times.He didn't call anyone else, he just called me, and was like "Look, I put 80 scores against the picture."Okay, give me three weeks and I'll have something for you."He came over the first time and to be honest with you, I was kind of nervous.Zack Snyder and I don't want to just hit the Soft Synth that goes "chikachikachika."It's just not how I do it, so anyway, I was kind of nervous 'cause I was like "What if he hates this?"Shock: He's also a musician who has a lot of knowledge about music and musical references, so it must be an interesting collaboration.I'm not saying he doesn't have an influence 'cause we talk and those conversations inform the music as I go anyway.In that kind of movie, you really need to be able to feel the difference between the two in my opinion.That movie kind of messed me up a little bit.Bates: They tend to overlap sometimes.But the music was really fantastic to me.For instance, to go up and write "Watchmen" for a week every month while they're filming, I do one less job, but I do it, because I know that in order to give Zack what he needs, I have to have the energy and to take the time to think about it and see where he's going with it.Shock: Did you already sit down and read the "Watchmen" graphic novel and what are your instincts on that?Not in any way associated with Crave Entertainment, Inc. |
