We recently spoke with composer and conductor <a href=\"http:\/\/www.davidlouisnewman.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">David Newman<\/a>, one of the pioneers of the trend, to get his take on the hybrid medium\u2019s popularity and the technical challenges it can pose. He had just finished two nights conducting the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl, where they performed Michael Giacchino\u2019s score for \u201cStar Trek,\u201d and was leaving the next day to conduct in Germany.<\/p>\n<p>David is well known for having <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jblpro.com\/www\/news\/news-detail\/2016\/04\/28\/orchestral-film-score-recording-returns-to-new-york-city-with-monitor-system-from-jbl-professional-by-harman\" target=\"_blank\">scored<\/a> more than 100 feature films, ranging from \u201cWar of the Roses\u201d and \u201cThe Flintstones\u201d to \u201cIce Age\u201d and \u201cBrokedown Palace.\u201d He has conducted many of the world\u2019s premier orchestras, and his original compositions have been performed in concert halls across the country. He is the son of nine-time Oscar winning composer, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Alfred_Newman_(composer)\" target=\"_blank\">Alfred Newman<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1618 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/pro.harman.com\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/MG_7277-RET-04-13-07-copy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"310\" height=\"465\" \/>David began conducting live music for full-length film screenings in 1989 when he presented the score of F.W. Murnau\u2019s silent film classic, \u201cSunrise\u201d at the Sundance Film Festival. Since\u00a02007, he has conducted every Hollywood Bowl live orchestra movie performance and is leading 11 such events in different parts of the world this year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery orchestra is participating in these programs,\u201d said David. \u201cIt\u2019s a great way to introduce audiences to the wonder of live orchestral music and for them to participate in the spectacle of the event while experiencing <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jblpro.com\/www\/news\/installations\/concert-venues\" target=\"_blank\">world-class sound<\/a>. And, for orchestras that struggle to grow their audiences, it\u2019s a tremendous way to engage new fans. It\u2019s definitely a win-win, but the shows are not without their technical challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During movie concerts, films are projected from start to finish, ideally with an isolated music stem that\u2019s been muted, so the orchestra can supply the score. Preparing a soundtrack without the music may be simple with recent films but, with older films, separating the score from vocals, dialogue, sound effects and Foley, can be difficult.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe first step is determining which stems are available,\u201d said David. \u201cSometimes the studios are unable to locate the individual stems, and sometimes they never existed. In 2011, we did \u2018West Side Story,\u2019 an MGM film from 1960. We wanted to keep Marni Nixon and Rita Moreno\u2019s original vocals and only replace the orchestra. Unfortunately, the singing was married to the orchestra on the music stem. So, what do you do in a situation like that? Or with \u2018The Wizard of Oz\u2019 or \u2018Casablanca\u2019 when you only have a mono stem?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are two ways to resolve the issue. The first uses what\u2019s termed \u2018dip and dive\u2019 and entails having a mixer move the fader up during dialog sequences, then down when there\u2019s no dialog, leaving room for the score,\u201d he said. \u201cIn this case, some of the music from the original soundtrack is audible during the dialog sections, but it works well enough. Filling in with a bit of Foley or sound effects, when the fader is down, helps fix the whole track. It\u2019s kind of a cobbled approach to using an old film with only one stem, but is still effective.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe more sophisticated, and far more costly, way to remedy the problem is to bring in one of several companies that have come up with frequency algorithms, which allow them to eliminate any part of the track. That\u2019s what we did with \u2018West Side Story.\u2019 We were able to strip the orchestra out of the music stem, leaving the original vocals intact.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The second technical consideration in live movie concert performance is maintaining the synchronization of the orchestra\u2019s performance throughout the entire movie. In film scoring, cues are recorded individually with the luxury of multiple takes. And, in theatrical productions, cues are separated within the show. Once the first frame of a film plays, however, it\u2019s the conductor\u2019s job to synchronize the entire movie for approximately the next 90 minutes.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1611\" style=\"width: 346px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1611\" class=\"wp-image-1611\" src=\"http:\/\/pro.harman.com\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/PhilipHolahan.com6-copy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"336\" height=\"413\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1611\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Philip Holahan<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Until the 1930s, the sync process used for film scoring entailed a sweep hand clock with stopwatch functionality that sat within sight of the conductor, who had a marked-up score referencing what second they should be at, as they approach a specific bar. \u201cThen my father developed the Newman System at Fox, which composers still use both in scoring sessions and live film performances,\u201d said David. \u201cIt\u2019s an arrangement of streamers, flutters and punches that cue timing and sync points. I still use the sweep clock as well, but the Newman System allows for more detailed cueing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we were still using analog film, we would scratch a diagonal line for a few feet of film and have an apparent line move from the left to right on the screen, signaling the approach of a sync point. Of course, now we do it on a computer and can color-code various aspects, like signaling that the music is about to speed up or slow down,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe also punch holes in either every other frame or every few frames and separate the sequences with an un-punched frame, which causes the flutter. The punches and flutters work as little markers, like buoys in the ocean, that conductors can see in their peripheral vision, telling them they\u2019re too slow or fast. It\u2019s like a visual metronome.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s absolutely critical that the orchestra stays in sync with the action throughout,\u201d he said. \u201cThink of seeing Cirque du Soleil, watching a high-wire act, and the guy trips and ruins it for the audience. It\u2019s the same with music getting out of sync; it makes the audience uneasy. It\u2019s going to happen; it\u2019s the nature of things. But, as a conductor, it\u2019s my job to minimize fluctuations\u2014to stay in sync and make music. One is not more important than the other,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Coming from a composing background, we asked David what attracted him to the live film format. \u201cI\u2019m glad to be part of pulling the veil away from what film music really is,\u201d he said. \u201cIf you think about it, film scores are inherently subversive. What is music doing in a movie anyway? I\u2019m sure most directors would love not having to deal with music in their movie, because they can\u2019t write it or really control it. But, the reason the score is there is because it tells the story in a different language, a language we all intuitively understand.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1608\" style=\"width: 325px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1608\" class=\"wp-image-1608\" src=\"http:\/\/pro.harman.com\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Cathy-Merenda-2012.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"315\" height=\"419\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1608\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Cathy Merenda<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u201cOn the surface, film music can seem simple or eclectic or referential, but it\u2019s very hard to discuss it in exacting terms, because it uses an abstract, not narrative, language. I did a concert at the Tanglewood Music Center of Paramount Pictures music, and one of the pieces was the main title of Alfred Hitchcock\u2019s \u2018North by Northwest.\u2019 It turns out that the rhythm is a Spanish dance called a fandango, and you have to wonder what a fandango is doing in an urban thriller with Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman. It doesn\u2019t make sense that it works, but it does, and you can\u2019t imagine the movie without Bernard Hermann having used that form and informing nearly the entire score from it. That\u2019s what\u2019s so incredibly cool about film music,\u201d said David.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOriginal film music is a very young art form that started in 1933. The first real score was Max Steiner\u2019s composition for \u2018King Kong.\u2019 Warner Bros. had tested the film, and it was disastrous, everyone laughed at the ape, at King Kong. They thought he was ridiculous looking, and the filmmakers were at a loss of how to fix it,\u201d he said. \u201cSteiner asked permission to write an original score, and the studio agreed to let him try it. He composed a really scary score\u2014to our ears it\u2019s a little stupid and crazy\u2014but it absolutely changed the film\u2019s impact. The audience was fainting, scared to death of King Kong, and you can point to that moment as the beginning of modern film score.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe thing is, Steiner\u2019s score had unity\u2014a phrase or melody that would come back at various times in various ways. It might be hidden, played backwards, inverted or up and down. It might be repeated or orchestrated in various ways, but it told the inner story of the movie\u2014a story that couldn\u2019t have been told visually with the camera, the acting or the art direction. That power is what I love about the relationship of film and music and about sharing it with audiences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Many thanks to David Newman for his insights into live movie concerts and the relationship of film and music.
