Blade Runner: The Complete Music Collection (work-in-progress) — Page 7

Thanks for your reply, focuspuller. I was aware that the "Unicorn" cue was also used for the film 'Antarctica', albeit in a different fashion.

While the film had the familiar mix of the eletronic "hunting horn" sound with the atonal chorus (which is the version presented on countless bootlegs), the BR DVD featurettes had the "hunting horn" in a previously unheard segment by itself (i.e. the start of the "Beyond the Window" doc) as well as the atonal chorus in another music segment by itself (approx. the 3 min.-mark in the "Eye of the Storm"doc). So when I saw how extended your version was, I naturally assumed it would come from at least one ofthese sources I mentioned. But I guess I'll have to wait until the final result to see if I'm right or wrong. Can't wait to hear what you're cooking for us!

Do we have an approx. release date on this yet? :)

You're talking about chapters within the 3+ hour doc Dangerous Days. Including new sources I have been given/found, The official releases, the bootlegs, and the DVDs, I have gone over every inch of sound multiple times, whether it be for use or simply reference. In the case of "Unicorn", as I've already said, only a few seconds of it here and there can be heard in the BR DVDs. The music used on the new DVDs are clipped, looped and manipulated, so while you may hear sections scattered throughout of pieces you haven't heard before, the manipulation of these samples prevents them from being referenced literally.

It should also be pointed out that the "horn" like sound comes from the same sample library used in the track "Taffy's".

 Really? I failed to notice any similarities. The track you call "Taffy's" is the source cue with Demis Roussos's vocals, right?

No, it's Taffy's as in the music played in Taffy Lewis' bar. It comes on after Deckard hangs up the phone.

I see which one you're talking about.

Just for the record, there are two source cues used in Taffy Lewis's bar, one has vocals courtesy of Demis Roussos (heard when Deckard first enters the club), and the other does not (heard when Deckard is hung up on the phone).

I rather like the second one, wish we had a complete clean ending for it.

The second one was part of a mp3 file that has been available on occasion called Blade Runner Suite - Outtakes. It is 30 minutes of source material including the track in question, which is elsewhere called Salome's Dance, at 1:39. In the movie this track starts when the announcer introduces Salome (aka Zhora) and continues through until Zhora's dressing room (after Deckard goes backstage it is easy to miss among the other sounds). It probably is just looped to fit that length. The format of the track makes it easy to loop it endlessly.

 No it's not a loop. In the film, the background beat continues, but if you listen carefully you can hear the "instruments" change slightly until the track ends with an applause. This is happening while Deckard is in Zhora's room.

I have been getting a lot of requests for putting up samples. Early on in this project I put up samples to give you an idea of the work I was doing. For those that got to download them and enjoy them I'm glad you did. But for those that haven't, something should be understood. It's not a reflection of the final product. The point is not to release one track at a time but everything at once when it is complete. Once that happens you'll be happy you waited. Meanwhile, if I have cause to release a further sample of something I will.

A preview of the front and back cover has been uploaded.

As you can see from the back cover and track list, the music is (currently) broken up into four sections. Tyrell Corporation, Bradbury Apartments, Animoid Row, and Eye World.

Great to see the updates Focuspuller.  I really can't believe this is going to be 4 discs!  Quite a feat.  As I said before, I have no idea how you are doing all this, but best regards.   Oh, And I promise not to blurt on other threads again!  ;-) 

If you need any more images.. I do have a PDF copy of a certain "sketchbook" too.

Have a better one!

Glad you like the icon. :-) it was a complete byatch to create, re-sizing and compressing the lot!  It's so small, can't believe the amount of time it took  :-0

I'll grab some pics from the pdf.   easier to send.

Kudos on how the cover has turned out.  I love good cover art.

So many great pieces on this thing now.  It's a fabulous project.  :)

 Thanks, I still have a lot to do, artwork included but things are coming along well.

Awesome artwork dude, this set is going to be huge!

Hey focuspuller,

Just wanted to point out that the version of "Unveiled Twinkling Space" presented on the BR Trilogy is NOT the version heard in the film (due to a 5% pitch difference), so in case you were using that cue for your Complete Collection, I just wanted to let you know that you will have to lower the pitch by 5% (unless you wanted it in PAL quality).

The music will be presented how it is supposed to be heard. NOT (in most cases) how it is heard in the film. That would contradict one of the basic objectives of this project.
