I'm a huge fan of Michael Giacchino and Chris Tilton, so I love the music they produce for film and television.

^^^ Grizzly, Thank You so much for introducing Ibrahim! I love that video, and so beautifully produced. I’ve listened to several videos, and I’m really impressed with his understated manner of playing; that’s a real tribute to his excelled training. His family and their classic orientations are justly impressive. Maalouf’s website; his biography. Thanks, again.

Might you be wondering the directions pop culture is evolving during this baroque period in which we are living and observing? Let’s go to London, then!

    The Most Incredible Thing | Pet Shop Boys
    — a BBC documentary-performance on Hans Christian Anderson’s parable



    The Independent: Review | Friday 11 March 2011.

      “Pet Shop Boys have come a long way since the ill-fated disco musical Closer to Heaven.

      “Despite being further from their comfort zone, this second foray into theatrical composition, a [three act] ballet based around a Hans Christian Anderson parable, is vastly more adept, involving the deft interweaving of electropop and orchestral elements within a series of impressionistic tableaux sketching out the theme of conflict between creativity and destruction. It’s stylistically wide-ranging, with Arcade Fire-like uplifting fanfares and sweeping orchestrations, most impressive in the seven-minute sequence ‘The Grind’, in which businesslike synth riffs blend with quirky woodwind and horns before building to an increasingly tense and agitated orchestral conclusion. It may not have quite as many great tunes as The Nutcracker or Swan Lake, but what does?”
