He was a film music expert—a published author, soundtrack liner note writer, a teacher, and film score historian.Gergely worked on over 200 soundtrack-related projects and spent 11 years collaborating with Quartet Records, most notably on European scores and those composed by Ennio Morricone.

The War of the Worlds - How Leith Stevens scored fear, uncertainty, and doubt Malone Digital 2023-09-05 | The early 1950s films, When Worlds Collide and The War of the Worlds, tapped into Cold War-era anxieties, reflecting fears of nuclear war and global catastrophe.In reviewing When Worlds Collide, The Hollywood Reporter noted, “Leith Stevens’ music has effective futuristic qualities to it.” What does that mean?In this video, we discuss the two aforementioned films from Paramount Pictures and the work of Leith Stevens, the man who composed their musical scores.This is not meant to be particularly insightful or anything, just a bit of fun.Chapters:00:00 Introduction00:39 Part 1—No One Would Have Believed…02:25 Part 2—Stevens.

He gave student lectures on film music, was president of the Composers and Lyricists Guild of America, and started an electronic scoring facility at Paramount in 1969.When Worlds Collide and The War of the Worlds were precursors to the disaster movie genre.

Bumper blow-up - Kid loses it after toy car crash Malone Digital 2023-06-26 | Sound on!A bumper blow-up. A toy tantrum. A magniloquent meltdown. A car crash catalyst. An ecchymotic ego. A surprised sibling. 42 seconds of something.The toy bumper cars featured in this video are miniature vehicles operated wirelessly using a handheld remote control.These cars are also fitted with bumper pads on their left and right sides. When struck by another object (another toy bumper car, for example), the toy driver (as opposed to the toy’s driver) is violently ejected from its seated position. In doing so, the toy driver (once again, not the toy’s driver) shrieks as their disproportionate body is flung from the vehicle. This serves as a timely reminder to always wear your safety belt, kids.It's also worth remembering to take good care of your siblings and belongings, instead of letting emotions boil over. I suppose it’s not always easy, especially when you’re only four.This is not meant to be particularly insightful or anything, just a bit of fun… making sound effects.###© 2023 Malone Digital.

Sorry, there is no video, other than a still image, as it was intended as an audio-only podcast.It was recorded on 17 April 2020, long before it was uploaded here.Revered and beloved film critic, Leonard Maltin, puts this film score at the top of heap. Not one of his all-time favourites, his number one all-time favourite.With all the films and their scores that must have passed the ears of Mr. Maltin, that makes this film music extra special.What film score am I referring to? The Big Country, composed by Jerome Moross!It’s probably some of the most ‘understandable’ film music there is. And it doesn’t feel dated like a lot of so-called “Golden Age” scores sometimes do.

Sorry, there is no video, other than a still image, as it was intended as an audio-only podcast.It was recorded on 17 April 2020, long before it was uploaded here.We’re going to explore music Nino Rota composed for one of his two Shakespearean scores with director Franco Zeffirelli, The Taming of the Shrew.The film was released in 1967 and stars then husband and wife, Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor.During his 67 years, Nino Rota composed 10 operas, 23 stage works and ballets, 3 symphonies, cello concertos, choral works, chamber music, and 171 film scores. Rota writes several themes that are put through permutations throughout the score. Sometimes acting as ‘source music’ or music that characters themselves hear in the story. Other times, these themes are set for instruments we might associate with the period setting, such as the recorder. Along the way, Nino Rota infuses his score with the requisite love and pathos but also good humour and wit.###Purchasing links:quartetrecords.com/product/the-taming-of-the-shrew-2-cdamazon.com/Taming-Shrew-Original-Soundtrack-Nino/dp/B07YTDF487Other links of interest:Discogs listing:discogs.com/release/14271617-Nino-Rota-The-Taming-Of-The-ShrewMalone Digital Audio Restoration Services:malonedigital.com###©1967, 2019 EMI Music Publishing, Italia.

Sorry, there is no video, other than a still image, as it was intended as an audio-only podcast.It was recorded on 1 April 2020, long before it was uploaded here.Today, we’re changing geography to continental Europe. We’re switching from film to television music. And from drama to documentary. We’re heading deep into the 1970s and to a work that doesn’t fit the traditional score music mould. We’re going to play snippets from music that accompanies images few of us have seen after they flickered on TV screens over 45 years ago. But that’s what makes discovering film and television scores exciting, right?!On our journey, we’re going to get to know a bit more about a pair of scores available from Quartet Records: Zoo Folle and Gli animali… che simpatia.Giuliano Sorgini wrote these two scores for Italian documentaries made by Riccardo Fellini. They come from 1974 and 1975—peak jazz-funk-soul time.###Purchasing links:quartetrecords.com/product/zoo-folle-gli-animali-che-simpatiaamazon.com/Animali-Simpatia-Original-Soundtrack-Limited/dp/B07ZW8Z3L5Other links of interest:Discogs listing:discogs.com/release/14480027-Giuliano-Sorgini-Original-Television-Soundtracks-Zoo-Folle-Gli-Animali-Che-Simpatia-Malone Digital Audio Restoration Services:malonedigital.com###©1974, 1975 Universal Music Publishing Ricordi srl.

Soundtrack Spotlight - Monte Carlo Or Bust! Malone Digital 2023-03-01 | This video is an unreleased ‘podcast’ of sorts that spotlights a soundtrack. Sorry, there is no video, other than a still image, as it was intended as an audio-only podcast.It was recorded on 31 March 2020, long before it was uploaded here.A Soundtrack Spotlight or a Stodgy Sermon? The former is probably a trademark of The Goldsmith Odyssey. Hope they don’t mind. The latter is what you hear here. Monte Carlo or Bust! (aka Those Daring Young Men in Their Jaunty Jalopies) turned 50 in 2019 and was scored by the great Ron Goodwin.Goodwin was famous for a lot of war-themed film scores like 633 Squadron (1964), Where Eagles Dare (1968)—which is phenomenal incidentally—and The Battle of Britain (1969), the same year as Monte Carlo or Bust!But for Monte or Bust!, Goodwin adopts the playful, cheery, and light dramatic mode he used in Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines (1965). Even producing a title song, like he did for the earlier adventure.In this second podcast, I want to introduce some “Tech Talk,” which I know can get insanely dreary and dry. However, I think it’s important to touch on the ‘elements’ involved in the production of the soundtrack collection being discussed here.###Purchasing links:quartetrecords.com/product/those-daring-young-men-in-their-jaunty-jalopies-2-cdamazon.com/Daring-Jaunty-Jalopes-Original-Soundtrack/dp/B082QGPSCVOther links of interest:Ron Goodwin official website:http://www.rongoodwin.co.ukDiscogs listing:discogs.com/release/14614806-Ron-Goodwin-Those-Daring-Young-Men-In-Their-Jaunty-Jalopies-Music-From-The-SoundtrackMalone Digital Audio Restoration Services:malonedigital.com###Motion Picture Artwork, Logos and Photography ©1969 Paramount Pictures.

Soundtrack Spotlight - The Italian Job Malone Digital 2023-03-01 | This video is an unreleased ‘podcast’ of sorts that spotlights a soundtrack. Sorry, there is no video, other than a still image, as it was intended as an audio-only podcast.Also, please note that it was recorded on 26 March 2020, long before it was uploaded here.Released just over 50 years ago, the 1969 British comedy caper film, The Italian Job remains in our collective consciousness primarily because of its star power: iconic actor Michael Caine and three equally iconic Mini cars.For The Italian Job, composer Quincy Jones submitted an eclectic mashup of musical genres. He assimilates ideas from jazz, folk, and classical music. He channels the mood of John Barry, pop standards of the era, and he even incorporates football chants.For the 50th anniversary of the film in 2019, Quartet Records released a remastered version of the original 28 minute stereo album on compact disc—you know the humble and ever-reliable CD.As a bonus, the CD also includes the film versions of all the Quincy Jones composed cues—as recorded at Olympic Sound Studios by the legendary Keith Grant—and mixed to mono for the film.So, why not get your skates on mate and pick up the Italian Job 50th anniversary soundtrack CD.###Quincy Jones is a highly accomplished American music producer, composer, arranger, and musician. He was born on March 14, 1933, in Chicago, USA, and has had a long and successful career in the music industry spanning several decades.Jones has worked with some of the most prominent artists in the world, including Michael Jackson, Frank Sinatra, and Ray Charles. In addition to his music career, Jones has also been an advocate for various social and humanitarian causes. He was appointed as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador in 1991 and has worked on initiatives to promote peace, education, and human rights.###Purchasing links:quartetrecords.com/product/the-italian-jobamazon.com/Italian-Job-Anniversary-Expanded-Soundtrack/dp/B07ZWBD47POther links of interest:Quincy Jones official website:quincyjones.comDiscogs listing:discogs.com/release/14913397-Quincy-Jones-The-Italian-Job-50th-Anniversary-Expanded-EditionMalone Digital Audio Restoration Services:malonedigital.com###Motion Picture Artwork, Logos and Photography ©1969 Paramount Pictures.

The video may optionally include grammatical stumbles, hideous camera work, and grotesque editing. Bonus points are awarded for all three, as demonstrated here.Unboxing videos have become increasingly popular in recent years.
