“Lando’s Redemption” from #StarWarsOutlaws DLC is my most melodically complex piece yet – referencing Williams’ Lando & Rebel motifs as well as @joneverist.bsky.social 's Rebel theme from Outlaws, to convey his suave veneer & grave sense of duty.

Here's a #gamemusic analysis of the themes!

Family themes are a treat to write… especially when paired with apocalyptic terror. 🤘🏻

Last night I saw #JurassicWorldRebirth 

Dr. Henry Loomis is my favorite character of the World films. Johansson and Bailey’s chemistry was through the roof.

Desplat ate that up - best use of the Jurassic Park theme since the first film.

Film look was refreshing.

This draft names an extremely common. And veterans like Koepp always keep up-to-date with their drafts. Especially with scripts they’re aiming to sell.

Kontakt Screenshot, but here's a more detailed tutorial:

(you will need the FULL version of Kontakt for this, not the free ones)

1) Go to Group Editor, hold down a note, and figure out what groups are actually triggering when you PLAY a note; often there's Release-triggered groups for when you let go of a note... you don't wanna touch those

2) In the Expert tab at the left of the Kontakt UI, you can select the groups you want. There'll be a speaker icon next to whatever's making sound

3) Now set these groups to Sampler in the Source section. This allows Kontakt to seek later within the sample when triggering notes

4) Add a Constant modulator within that Source section, and set it to Sample Start. You'll probably want a fairly low % value in the slider for orchestral libraries, like 3% or lower

5) You might have to adjust the Attack time to be *higher* now, down in the Modulation section in the Volume envelope, in order to compensate (in case this causes sound to just pop in). Try setting the Curve to a positive number for a legato attack

6) Lastly, you can get a bit fancy with this via extra modulations! For instance, in addition to the Constant modulator on SampleStart, you can try adding a Velocity modulator instead, so that the harder you press a note, the further in the sample starts (ie. bypassing more attack time). You can even add a Velocity modulator to the Volume envelope down in the Modulation section, and invert it so that there's less attack time the harder you press!

7) MAJOR CAVEAT: Several sample libraries these days have complex scripts that defeat Kontakt's internal velocity, controller, and note mapping, making it impossible to edit certain things. Unfortunately you'll just have to experiment to see which libraries let you do what.

Always save backups / never overwrite the default patches - you never know what slight adjustments might royally screw up a patch unexpectedly.  :-(

KONTAKT TIP: Some orchestral/acoustic sample libraries have inconvenient slow attack times in the recordings, so adjusting the Volume Envelope won’t help.

Try adding SampleStart modulation instead! Set the Source to Sampler, add a Constant mod set to SampleStart.

Gordy is an obviously great pick, especially with his background in Williams-forward VGM.

What a treat! Desplat joins the legacy of Jurassic composers and becomes Edwards’ first consecutive collaborator!

Also an unsurprising, but very welcomed, return to Abbey Road. 🔥🦖

Have seen come conflicting reporting about Nicholas Britell’s involvement in Season 2 of Andor - looks like he had some involvement (whatever that means) before stepping away and Brandon Roberts coming in. However, seems inaccurate to say he didn’t do anything for season 2

Stills are from great video from the studio that captured the session. Editing something together once we get further along the season. 😁
