What impact do you think Jerry Goldsmith’s Children Record has on the perception of film music among younger audiences? Do you believe it serves as an effective introduction to the broader themes and styles of his work, or does it risk oversimplifying his genius for a child-friendly format?",

From Leigh on FB…..

Just something to enjoy over the weekend...

As hinted at a few weeks ago, it's a pleasure to be able to reveal the next Kickstarter project in the continuing series of Jerry Goldsmith re-recordings; the (often requested) scores from "Pursuit" and "Crawlspace" (both 1972).

Some consideration had to be given to the timing of this post as I'm more than aware that campaigns for film-music related projects are increasing in both number and frequency.  This particular Kickstarter is not going to run until early September, so think of this simply as a "teaser".

A few details I *can* provide:

> The cost will be modest - recording sessions, manufacture, postage - that’s all (guesstimating between 11-15,000.  Exact figures will be released when the campaign launches)

> Unlike GE Theater, this will be available in both digital & physical (single CD) formats, thanks to our dear friends at Intrada Records who will be handling production and distribution of the CDs from the outset.  I'm extremely touched by their enthusiasm for the project and incredibly grateful for their participation and advice.

> The music will, of course, be recorded here in Prague, with The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra (we've some super rhythm players who occasionally record in Smecky - just perfect for "Pursuit"!)

> If the campaign exceeds expectations a third score will be added via a low-cost stretch goal

> This teaser comes with a freebie - watch the video on the YouTube page and, in the description, there's a link you can use to download a free lossless audio of the "Crawlspace - Main Title".  There's a makeshift cover (which I put together) included but, to be perfectly honest, when I think of what Intrada would do with this the phrase "don't give up the day job" springs to mind..but the music is great, at least!

> Please feel free to send thanks to Smecky Music Studios, the control-room team and players from The City Of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra who were amazingly generous in giving their time to get this promo cue recorded

That's probably enough waffle from me - please enjoy this new (premiere) recording of the "Main Title" from "Crawlspace"

Rest in peace Doug Fake. A father of film music to so many of us who grew up with a passion for film soundtracks and became fanatical for owning the scores of their favourite film composers and favourite films and television music. Then your heart sunk and you realised that everything you wanted hadn’t been released and was unlikely to ever be. But along came Intrada Records and we were introduced to someone more passionate than us that was knowledgeable about all aspects of music and the business and was actually doing the hard work and spending his own money to release the music we could only dream of owning. On top of that each release was lovingly realised with beautifully produced score restorations and attention to detail we could only dream of.

Thank you Doug for your incredible contribution to my life. I don’t know what I would have done without your incredible art. And I am honoured to be in such great company to have the same affection for the music of Jerry Goldsmith. Thank you so much for the incredible attention you gave to his music.

My deepest condolences to his family and friends. Film music won’t be the same without you. Your legacy will live on forever.
