Ik ben dol op soundtracks. Of ben ik juist dol op scores? Wat is eigenlijk het verschil? Ik zoek het even voor je uit. Volgens wikipedia is een 'score' onderdeel van het overkoepelende concept soundtrack. Onder soundtrack vallen volgens de definitie bestaande liedjes die (deels) voorkomen in een film, liedjes speciaal voor een film geschreven [...]

Some days music owns you. Sometimes you come across a piece of music that literally stops you in your tracks. As each phrase passes you don't move an inch, voluntarily paralyzed, for fear of missing or accidentally drowning out some subtle nuance. This music reaches deeper than other music. Rachel Grimes latest release, Marion County 1938 is this kind of music. Chamber music isn't exactly the first thing to jump to the front of the line when you think of styles of indie music, but yet, here it is. As a member of 90's chamber ensemble [...]

Concerts of contemporary music are notoriously poorly advertised. The reasons why remain a mystery, though it seems that contemporary composers and musicians continually underestimate Irish music fans. Yet this country has wide-open ears, and an audience that's open to discovering anything that's new or exciting, regardless of the tag that comes with it. Modern music in Ireland is a small world, but one that will never expand unless we start to make efforts to reach all those people who are fans of modern music but just don't know it yet. Contemporary music is not difficult, it's not pretentious, it's not [...]

Happy 2012, everybody. We're back for another year, and I hope you all had a great time during the holidays. As I'm sure most of you know, the U.S. film adaptation of Stieg Larsson's immensely popular novel The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo ," part of the "Millenium" series, was released last month -- er, or at the end of last year (!). I went to see it the day it came out, and I absolutely loved it. Purists will say that A) there was no need to remake it since the Swedes already adapted [...]

Choral services and festive music galas may abound, but this is a quiet time of year in the contemporary classical world. That said, no Christmas would be complete without at least one performance of Handel's Messiah . This year the Oratorio will be performed by The Palestrina Choir, Dublin Bach Singers and Orchestra of St Cecilia, in the candlelit Pro-Cathedral on the 20th of December. Tickets are priced at €20. Registration has opened for the Netherlands Gaudeamus International Composers Award 2012. The Gaudeamus Prize is one of the most prestigious [...]

This week The Score has reviews, CD launches, reports on arts as industry, and a few upcoming gigs, and a shot of controversy to boot. If the immense – and humbly appreciated – response to the launch of this column two weeks ago has shown anything, it is that though the contemporary world in Ireland is a small and close-knit one, its fans are both numerous and passionate. Spreading the news of contemporary music is The Score's goal, so join in and help get conversation flowing, and help make people aware of the issues that continue to hold back [...]

The synopsis: After a 30 year separation, father and son reconnect for a grueling 500-mile bike tour. In a confrontation of the past, these two men struggle to find a future. Can they see beyond their polar opposite views? Beyond This Place is a complex and emotionally dense film about family, forgiveness, and the arduous task of moving forward. Sufjan Stevens and Castanets' Raymond Raposa performed the soundtrack to Kaleo La Belle's Beyond This Place live at The Vista Theatre. Two screenings were packed with music and film fanatics. The live score went so [...]

And, according to Nine Inch Nails' official website, that release date is December 2. Mute Records will release the album internationally, while Null will handle distribution in North America.
