AlloCiné Ennio Morricone, Oscar-Winning Composer of Film Scores, Dies at 91 Ennio Morricone, the Italian composer whose atmospheric scores for spaghetti westerns and some 500 films by a Who’s Who of international directors made him one of the world’s most versatile and influential creators of music for the modern cinema, died on Monday in Rome. He was 91. His death, at a hospital, was confirmed by his lawyer, Giorgio Assumma, who said that Mr. Morricone was admitted there last week after falling and fracturing a femur. Mr. To many cineastes, Maestro Morricone (pronounced (mo-ree-CONE-eh) was a unique talent, composing melodic accompaniments to comedies, thrillers and historical dramas by Bernardo Bertolucci, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Terrence Malick, Roland Joffé, Brian De Palma, Barry Levinson, Mike Nichols, John Carpenter, Quentin Tarantino and other filmmakers. He scored many popular films of the past 40 years: Édouard Molinaro’s “La Cage aux Folles” (1978), Mr. Mr. Mr. “The Ecstasy of Gold,” the theme song for “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly,” was one of Mr. Mr.

“A”, comme Alternate take | arbobo Vous voulez vous la péter comme n’importe quel amateur de jazz? Facile : faites celle ou celui qui n’écoute que des “alternate take“. L’alternate take, c’est simple, c’est une chute de studio, la version dont on n’a pas voulu. Le fameux “ok, c’était vraiment super mec… mais on la refait”. On la refait parce que cette prise là, un poil trop ci, un tantinet pas assez cela, n’est soit pas encore à la hauteur, soit pas suffisamment proche de l’effet recherché. L’alternate take, ça peut être tout et rien, donc. Tout dépend de la manière dont le disque a été conçu dès le départ. Mais elles restent plutôt une spécialité de jazzeux, par exemple les Complete Bitches brew sessions de Miles Davis qui compilent la totalité des prises de ce chef-d’oeuvre, ou comment faire tripler la taille de l’album d’origine (beaucoup de ses disques ont eu droit à ce traitement). De gros coffrets, un peu répétitifs surtout pour une oreille peu aguerrie ou peu familière des titres en question.

Wes Craven Favorite Horror Movies The Lone Star State has led a surprisingly progressive overhaul of its incarceration system. The story behind the bipartisan push that GOP contenders may be extolling come 2016. It appears Rick Perry is going to run for president again in 2016. Perry, 65, will leave the governor’s office next January after serving for 14 years, beginning in 2000, when George W. Bush resigned to prepare for the presidency. As he creeps back onto the national stage, Perry—who has overseen the executions of 268 people—more executions than any other governor in United States history—has brought with him an unlikely Lone Star State success story: prison reform. In Texas, funneling money to special courts (like drug courts or prostitution courts), rehabilitation, and probation in an effort to make sure current offenders don’t reoffend, instead of continuing to make room for more prisoners, has resulted in billions saved and dramatically lower crime rates. The conservative movement to reform prisons is not new.

How will MIDI 2.0 change music? A lot of big things happened in music in 1983. It was the year Michael Jackson’s album Thriller hit number one across the world, compact discs were first released in the US, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers formed. Yet there was one obscure event that was more influential than all of them: MIDI 1.0 was released. MIDI stands for “Musical Instrument Digital Interface” and, after 37 years, it has finally received a major update. MIDI 2.0 is live, and it could mean the end of the keyboard’s dominance over popular music. Whether you know it or not, MIDI has changed your music listening life. The digitalization of music existed before MIDI, but creating a universal standard was a hugely important step, according to the composer Adam Neely. “[MIDI] is now at the core of music making in the entire music industry, with the possible exception of classical music and acoustic based music which doesn’t interface with computers,” says Neely. These may now be issues of the past.

James Bond's First-Ever Child in Action Scene Was Shocking for Parents For the first time ever, a child is featured in an action sequence in a James Bond movie. It happens at the end of "No Time to Die" and for this parent, it wasn't fun to watch. Spoilers below if you haven't seen "No Time to Die." James Bond movies are known for having amazing action sequences that are filled with gunfire, explosions, and beautiful people. But "No Time to Die" went and raised the stakes by having a child in the mix with Bond as he races away from the bad guy. As a parent, it completely took me out of the movie and all I could think about was the years of therapy this kid would have to go through. Call me old fashioned, but I enjoy my Bond movies where the action is thrilling but light. Director Cary Joji Fukunaga is known for his beautifully shot action sequences that are grounded in reality and often don't shy away from ultra-violence. With danger on the horizon the three jump into Bond's car and race into the Norwegian countryside.
