The Batman (2022): theme | fingerstyle guitar + TAB Evan Handyside 2022-02-03 | Guitar tab and blog: wp.me/p5JUVc-4i0Guitar performance and guitar tab for, The Batman, by composer Michael Giacchino.The BatmanThe previous Batman franchise -- comprised of Christopher Nolan, Christian Bale, and Hans Zimmer -- will be tough to follow in any sense. Given the redo of Justice League, even Ben Affleck was an excellent Dark Knight. However, I think we'll surprised at just 'how good' this new Batman will be.The director, Matt Reeves, directed Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and War for the Planet of the Apes -- two of the best movies you will ever see. Robert Pattinson (Bruce Wayne) is an excellent actor. Check out a couple of his lesser known performances to see this man's range: The King (Netflix), and The Rover (Guy Pearce).Already, Michael Giacchino's 'The Batman' theme sets the tone -- and is a worthy successor to Hans Zimmer's iconic two-chord motifMy music on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3bhbKcnMy music on Apple: apple.co/31c2Rzd#thebatman #fingerstyleguitar #filmmusicMy name is Evan.

Succession (HBO): Adagio in C Minor #succession #fingerstyleguitar #filmmusic Evan Handyside 2023-01-01 | HBO's Succession has definitely been on my list to watch. A friendly listener suggested Impromptu No. 1 from the soundtrack of Season 3. I had no idea the classically inspired music was from composer, Nicholas Britell. He's one of my all time favorite musicians. Impromptu No. 1 is a piano variation of Adagio in C Minor; the principle motif from the series.

His career is in a renaissance -- as he's reinvented himself into a serious actor. His performance in The Whale is something to behold.

Bones and All: Im With You (Always) | fingerstyle guitar + TAB Evan Handyside 2022-12-07 | Guitar tab and blog: wp.me/p5JUVc-4xVGuitar performance and guitar tab for I'm With You (Always) by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. This song is from the film, Bones and All, directed by Luca Guadagnino.I'm With You (Always)Bones and All is a romantic/horror/road film directed by Luca Guadagnino (Call Me by Your Name). The film tells the story of two young cannibals, falling in love, and fleeing together on a road trip across the US. The Bones and All soundtrack actually has Trent Reznor playing A LOT of nylon-string fingerstyle guitar. The main motif is titled, I'm With You - with a few variations through the score.From what I can tell, Trent Reznor is playing a 7 string classical (yes there is such a thing). There's a low E, G, and D note - which is not even feasible with an alternate tuning. I had to create an arrangement for a 6 string guitar, but I still think it's on point.This piece is the I'm With You (Always) variation, but I added some elements from I'm With You - which is far more sophisticated to play. I think most folks will enjoy this version - as it's much easier.My music on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3bhbKcnMy music on Apple: apple.co/31c2RzdMy Music on Amazon: amzn.to/3rmfEcx#bonesandall #fingerstyle #lucaguadagnino #filmmusic #fingerstyleguitar #timotheechalamet My name is Evan.

1883 Theme | fingerstyle guitar + TAB Evan Handyside 2022-11-24 | Guitar tab and blog: wp.me/p5JUVc-4xxFingerstyle guitar performance and guitar tab for the, 1883 Theme, by composer, Brian Tyler.I've been obsessing over Taylor Sheridan's work since he wrote the screenplay for Sicario (2015). However, I'm only getting a chance to watch his 1883 series now -- and IT IS fantastic.1883 is a prequel to Sheridan's Yellowstone series, and it tells the story of how the Duttons came to own the land that would become the Yellowstone Ranch. The American Civil War only ended years earlier in the timeline, and I'm blown away at how unsettled the American West was, only 139 years ago. The music is from Yellowstone composer, Brian Tyler. This beautiful progression is used heavily throughout each episode. Whether it's 1883 or Yellowstone, Tyler's extraordinary music works seamlessly for the guitar.

The film follows two lifelong friends (Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson) who find themselves at an impasse, when one abruptly ends their relationship. The predicament triggers alarming consequences for both.The music is by famed Coen Brothers composer, Carter Burwell. He really has perfected the art of "unsentimental" music.

Yellowstone Theme | fingerstyle guitar + TAB Evan Handyside 2022-11-10 | Guitar tab and blog: wp.me/p5JUVc-4erFingerstyle guitar performance and guitar tab for the Yellowstone Theme by composer, Brian Tyler.Yellowstone is a Paramount TV series written and directed by Taylor Sheridan (Sicario, Hell or High Water, Wind River). Kevin Costner plays John Dutton, a father trying to protect his ranch, the largest in the United States, from land developers, and a neighboring Indian reservation.Taylor Sheridan is one of those writer/directors where I'm frequently checking his IMDb page. I can't get enough of his characters and backdrops.I really love this opening theme and sequence. The music by composer, Brian Tyler, has a slight Spanish characteristic to it -- so I knew the chord progression would easily work on guitar. The music dips into some dissonant sounding chord shapes that I thought were very compelling.

All Quiet on the Western Front: Paul | fingerstyle guitar + TAB Evan Handyside 2022-11-06 | Guitar tab and blog: wp.me/p5JUVc-4w3Fingerstyle arrangement and guitar tab for Paul, by composer Volker Bertelmann, from the Netflix film, All Quiet on the Western Front.All Quiet on the Western FrontThis film has instantly become one of my all-time favorites. While based on a literary classic, All Quiet on the Western Front is not your "classic" war film. It has more in common with HBO's Chernobyl, than 1917. There is no hero's journey. The film immerses you into the gritty and hopeless nightmare (that was the German Western front) in WW1.The movie is based on the book, Im Westen nichts Neues, by author Erich Maria Remarque, a German veteran of World War I. The book is a fictional accounting of the German soldiers' extreme physical and mental trauma during the war. It's an anti-war story that explores the total futility and desecration of warfare. An estimated 30 to 40-million copies of All Quiet on the Western Front have been sold since it was first published in 1929.The book was so effective that Hitler had it discredited, burned, and banned. While author, Erich Remarque had used his literary success to move to America, his sister Elfriede Scholz, was viciously executed by the Nazis in 1943.The latest film adaptation is beautifully shot in a wide, panoramic angle by director, Edward Berger. Amidst the violence, there are poignant scenes that brought me to tears. One in particular is the bomb crater scene -- where the principle character Paul, fighting for survival, mortally stabs a French soldier. The Frenchman's death is slow and excruciating. In a rush of humanity, Paul (Felix Kammerer) attempts to comfort the dying soldier. He becomes visibly shaken, and horrified that he extinguished the soul of this man; a husband, a father, a son.The despair of trench warfare is expertly juxtaposed with scenes of elite opulence. Generals and politicians feasting -- while soldiers starve in the cold mud.The musical score is by German composer, Volker Bertelmann. He is often a co-composer with Dustin O'Halloran. Some of my favorite soundtracks have been from their union: Lion, Ammonite, and A Christmas Carol.Like the film itself, Volker's score for All Quiet on the Western Front should be in contention for awards season. It's one of the most unique soundtracks you'll ever hear, and it's pivotal to the film. There's an ominous, distorted 3 note motif -- made with an early 1900's harmonium. It's a mechanized and dystopian sound that signals the industry of war; of which Paul and his comrades are replaceable cogs.The melancholy motif from All Quiet on the Western Front is titled Paul. I took this chord progression and expanded on it. Volker Bertelmann is in the post-classical space which is marked by minimalism. I tried to stay with that spirt and create a sparse fingerstyle arrangement. I drew a lot of inspiration from the bomb crater scene, as well as the music of Johann Johannsson.My music on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3bhbKcnMy music on Apple: apple.co/31c2RzdMy Music on Amazon: amzn.to/3rmfEcx#filmmusic #volkerbertelmann #fingerstyleguitar #netflix #edwardbergerMy name is Evan.

IT: Blood Oath | fingerstyle guitar + TAB Evan Handyside 2022-10-19 | Guitar tab and blog: wp.me/p5JUVc-2YWGuitar performance and guitar tab for, Blood Oath, by composer Benjamin Wallfisch, from soundtrack of IT (2017).Blood OathThis is definitely my favorite piece from the 2017 IT score. I'm 45, so I remember when the book came out in the 80's:Stephen King's IT (the book) was figuratively and literally biggest thing in 1986. I remember going Christmas shopping at the mall with my mom. We had two book stores at the mall: B. Dalton and Waldenbooks. Both had enormous IT displays. I remember the book looking HUGE with the infamous paper boat and a creepy lizard-like hand attached to a sewer grate. Oddly, nothing to indicate a clown whatsoever.The 80's was punctuated by movies where young groups of friends overcame odds: ET, Goonies, Stand by Me (my favorite, also by Stephen King). Like Stranger Things, the latest new IT movie is a fond throwback to the culture of 1980's America. Much more than a creepy movie, IT has laughs and heart too.Blood Oath is played toward the end of the movie, lending a tenuous resolution to The Losers Club frightening adventure. I absolutely adore this piece music.My music on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3bhbKcnMy music on Apple: apple.co/31c2RzdMy Music on Amazon: amzn.to/3rmfEcx#itmovie #filmmusic #losersclub #fingerstyle #it #fingerstyleguitar #benjaminwallfischMy name is Evan.

This arrangement is done in the style of Gustavo Santaolalla.(This arrangement is available on Spotify and all streaming services. Links below.)As evidenced by my YouTube channel, I'm a huge fan of multi-instrumentalist composer, Gustavo Santaolalla. His music is synonymous with the world. He seems to capture at once the sound of Latin America, as well as distant cultures from all continents.For this interpretation of John Carpenter's Halloween theme -- I wanted to to reimagine it as a "world" sounding piece. Like something that might be played in The Last Of Us.

Andor is a prequel series to Rogue One: a Star Wars Story.I've only seen the 1st episode of Andor so far -- and it's unlike anything in Star Wars canon. Andor is a slow burn, clearly designed for adults. Don't expect The Mandalorian, this is more akin to Blade Runner.

It's a beautiful guitar arrangement. Hopefully I'm giving it new life by getting it back out there.]The Haunting of Hill House is a legendary series on Netflix. It is supremely spooky. I'm 45 at the moment, and this series had me turning off the lights, and running up the basement steps. Everytime I turned my head, I thought I saw a figure in my peripheral vision.The music by The Newton Brothers is spectacular in The Haunting of Hill House. There are 3 central themes that are played in different variations throughout the series. You get very used to the melodies — like another character in the series. This theme is also known as The End and it's additionally used in The Haunting of Bly Manor.At the time (in October 2018) I thought the main title of the piece was The End.

This track embodies Santaolalla's creativity -- and his element of surprise. Quarantine Zone is gnarly, like a Radiohead song. The chorus section comes out of nowhere. It's relatively pretty by comparison -- but still devolves into despair.I believe it's this "element of surprise" that really hooks people into Gustavo Santaolalla's music.

The story follows Naru (Amber Midthunder) a skilled warrior, as she fights to protect her tribe against one of the first highly-evolved Predators to land on Earth.This movie (available on Hulu) was flat out awesome. Absolutely entertaining from start to finish. A nice touch, is that the predator in this film, is slightly more primitive too. We get to see some wicked early weaponry -- and a new mask from the alien. Much like the new Top Gun -- Prey is even better film than the original Predator from 1987.The music by composer, Sarah Schachner, is brilliant and almost comes off like "Hans Zimmer meets The Last of the Mohicans". It feels expansive -- just like the Northern Great Plains.My music on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3bhbKcnMy music on Apple: apple.co/31c2RzdMy Music on Amazon: amzn.to/3rmfEcx#prey #predator #fingerstyle #fingerstyleguitar #filmmusic My name is Evan.

This song of from the film, Dhobi Ghat (Mumbai Diaries).While I don’t know too much about this film — it was released internationally in 2011 as Mumbai Diaries. (At the time of this writing, it’s actually on Netflix.)However, Dhobi Ghat is the one of the best Gustavo Santaolalla soundtracks that you, mostly likely, have never heard. I can’t believe I only discovered it recently. There are lots of pretty, singular guitar motifs.

Casadh an Tsúgáin | fingerstyle guitar + TAB Evan Handyside 2022-07-21 | Guitar tab and blog: wp.me/p5JUVc-2JvGuitar performance and guitar tab for Casadh an Tsúgáin. This version is based on that of Irish Sean-nós singer, Iarla Ó Lionáird.Sean-nós "in the old way" singing is unaccompanied, traditional Irish vocal music -- usually performed in the Irish language. Of these singers, Iarla Ó Lionáird is definitely my favorite. His performances are emotive, and his intonation is masterful. The song, Casadh an Tsúgáin "The Twisting of the Hayrope" is a whimsical story, told in the usual coy manner that characterizes many Irish folksongs (when approaching the subject of love). Boy meets girl -- then the boy visits her house -- only to be met by her rather protective mother. The mother cleverly asks him to unravel a hayrope. The young suitor complies, and as the hayrope lengthens -- he is once again outside the door whereupon the expedient mother summarily shuts it in his face.My version of Casadh an Tsúgáin is specifically based off of Iarla Ó Lionáird's performance in the movie Brooklyn: youtu.be/hnsqpmav5HE There's some beautiful orchestration on the back end of that performance that I also tried to capture with my guitar.I suppose I'm also channeling Hozier, as this turned out to be something like he'd play on guitar -- with his melodic, but distinctly Irish style.My music on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3bhbKcnMy music on Apple: apple.co/31c2RzdMy Music on Amazon: amzn.to/3rmfEcx#celticmusic #fingerstyleguitar #irishmusic My name is Evan.

The music is from English musician, Labrinth, who scores the entire show. Labrinth (a singer, rapper, songwriter, and producer) is in Alt-hip hop space where musicality reigns supreme. I'm Tired is an incredible exposition of songwriting talent and skilled musicianship.Ever since I heard this piece, I could hardly wait to run it through the filter of my guitar. Having immersed myself in the guitar style of composer Gustavo Santaolalla -- I use his minimalist approach on everything. This arrangement of I'm Tired took me about 20 minutes to complete.

Updated 7/13/2022]I often create medleys and musical derivatives that I personally want to hear. Lago Frias (The Motorcycle Diaries) has always been one of my favorite guitar riffs from composer Gustavo Santaolalla. But, it's only a riff.With this arrangement, I've created a Motorcycle Diaries Medley beginning with Lago Frias and continuing with:Partida del Leprosario,La Partida,and Leyendo en el Hospital.Of course, all are from Gustavo Santaolalla's venerable Motorcycle Diaries soundtrack, which is one of his greatest musical achievements. The music is so good.

It's incredible how he has been pitch perfect for nearly 50 years of film making. My entire youth has been sound-tracked by John Williams; Jaws, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, E.T. -- the list go on and on.My favorite arrangement of the Jurassic theme is by composer Michael Giacchino (from Jurassic World).

I believe the duo's name was literally 2CELLOS. It was beautiful and I wanted to create a subtle and minimal guitar version too.Composer, James Horner, was such a tragic loss to film music. His wiki resume is unreal: Legends of the Fall, Braveheart, Titanic, A Beautiful Mind, Apocalypto, The Perfect Storm, The Devil's Own, Apollo 13, Glory, and so on. If you're around my age (mid-40's) James Horner sound-tracked many pivotal movies of your adolescence.To me, Horner specialized in the "Celtic" motif. I love the way his music plays out on guitar.

Within his soundtracks, Santaolalla delivers really clever, minimal guitar pieces. Of those scores, I prefer the darker, brooding, and avant-garde soundtracks like: The Motorcycle Diaries, Babel, and The Last of Us.In that respect, Narcos: Mexico is the soundtrack that I had been waiting for. It's a glorious series and Gustavo Santaolalla adds a smooth, dark underpinning.

This song is featured in Stranger Things Season 4.If you're right around my age (or older) you might fondly remember Kate Bush's 1985 hit, Running Up That Hill. I was in second grade when that came out. Like everything from the 80's -- it's a reminder of a far more optimistic and uncomplicated decade. That's really the genius of Netflix's Stranger Things. Their ongoing templet can reemerge the 80's, season after season, and we'll all love it, every time.Kate Bush was known for her odd lyrical syncopation. I would characterize Bjork as a similar vocalist, who's unbound by convention. In terms of a fingerstyle guitar arrangement, this style turns a simple chord progression into something a little more complicated.My music on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3bhbKcnMy music on Apple: apple.co/31c2RzdMy Music on Amazon: amzn.to/3rmfEcx#runningupthathill #strangerthings #fingerstyleMy name is Evan.

He was a Chilean diplomat and politician who also happened to be one of the greatest love poets of all time. Neruda won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1971.Although it's not Pablo Neruda's intent -- when I read the excerpt above -- I immediately visualized a mourning angel. I'm a happy go-lucky guy. I'm not exactly sure why my personal music has such a brooding feel. Maybe it's a divining rod situation -- where I'm just channeling it from our collective environment.My music on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3bhbKcnMy music on Apple: apple.co/31c2RzdMy Music on Amazon: amzn.to/3rmfEcx#originalmusic #fingerstyle #worldmusic My name is Evan.

The television series is like early Game of Thrones; fast-paced storytelling, well developed character arcs, and replete with adult themes. Episode 1, season 1 literally covers an entire decade in 50 minutes. This series had been recommended to me by multiple friends -- and it is excellent.Livstraedrir is may favorite motif from the series. It's really the 'love theme' used throughout the seasons.

Hans Zimmer: The Survivor | fingerstyle guitar + TAB Evan Handyside 2022-05-08 | Guitar tab and blog: wp.me/p5JUVc-4o3Guitar performance and guitar tab for, The Survivor, by composer Hans Zimmer. This arrangement is based from the themes: Harry Haft and Walk to the Ring.The Survivor (HBO Max) is about Harry Haft, a real-life survivor of the Auschwitz concentration camp; a complex of over 40 concentration and extermination camps, operated by Nazi Germany, in occupied Poland during World War II and the Holocaust. In Auschwitz, Haft (Ben Foster) along with his fellow prisoners, was forced to participate in a dehumanizing gladiatorial boxing spectacle.The Survivor, also chronicles Harry Haft's boxing career and personal life in the United States. Both of which were tortured by his PTSD and guilt from his Auschwitz survivorship. The story is ultimately about his healing process.Ben Foster is in acting zenith. His performance as Harry Haft is incredible; the physical transformation, the accent. I was totally amazed from start to finish. The music by Hans Zimmer is minimally cut into the film, but the full soundtrack is excellent.My music on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3bhbKcnMy music on Apple: apple.co/31c2RzdMy Music on Amazon: amzn.to/3rmfEcx#thesurvivor #hanszimmer #fingerstyleMy name is Evan.

The Last of Us Volume 2: Left Behind (Together) Medley | fingerstyle guitar + TAB Evan Handyside 2022-04-27 | Guitar tab and blog: wp.me/p5JUVc-4nCLeft Behind (Together) is a nifty, steel-string guitar piece by Gustavo Santaolalla; from The Last of Us Volume 2. It's emblematic of his ability to find small spaces, and set positive constraints on the guitar. Gustavo Santaolalla picks low hanging fruit like no other guitarist/composer. Everytime I play one of his pieces, I'm blown away by the elegance of the left-hand movement.Also, I'm having a continued renaissance in my recording technique. I'm allowing mic noise, and accidental room noises to enter and become a part of the recording. This lo-fi technique has been popularized in the post-classical movement of music, e.g., Dustin O'Halloran, and Stephan Moccio. The sound is much more personal -- like you're sitting in the room with me.Left Behind (Together) Medley is an arrangement that includes The Path (A New Beginning) and Inextinguishable Flames. These songs are also from Gustavo Santaolalla's The Last of Us soundtracks.My music on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3bhbKcnMy music on Apple: apple.co/31c2RzdMy Music on Amazon: amzn.to/3rmfEcx#gustavosantaolalla #thelastofus #fingerstyleguitarMy name is Evan.

It is also from the most poignant scene:The Apostle John, takes Mary to a better vantage point to possibly see, touch, and speak with Jesus as he carries the 165lb cross through Jerusalem. Mary protectively runs to a stumbled Jesus, where he says to her, "See, mother, I make all things new." The scene is heart wrenching, as Jesus is momentarily distilled from Christ -- to Mary's child.John Debney's score was nominated for an academy award in 2004.You can find this performance on all streaming services:Mary Goes to Jesus on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3uTmacSMary Goes to Jesus on Apple: apple.co/3vwHxjiMary Goes to Jesus on Amazon: amzn.to/3MiY8xJThe Intellimusica Spotify Playlist: Ethereal & Cinematic GuitarDeep cuts from artists like Gustavo Santaolalla, Hans Zimmer, Jeff Buckley, and Radiohead – combine to create a heady flow of music for focus, meditation, and self-reflection.

1917: Wayfaring Stranger | fingerstyle guitar + TAB Evan Handyside 2022-04-02 | Guitar tab and blog: wp.me/p5JUVc-4lKGuitar performance and guitar tab for, I Am a Poor Wayfaring Stranger, as performed by Jos Slovick, from the film, 1917.The Wayfaring Stranger is a well-known American folk and gospel song that originating in the early 19th century. The song is about a plaintive soul on the journey of life. The most popular variation is from Johnny Cash. In my humble opinion, Jos Slovick's dark and Celtic version in 1917 is by far the best known performance. It may never be eclipsed.1917 (directed by Sam Mendes) cannot be praised enough. The photography, cinematography, and action sequences are stunning. The performances throughout the film -- are some of the best ever. Specifically, Lieutenant Joseph Blake (Richard Madden) at the end of the film; he remains stoic -- while wrestling down his emotions over his deceased brother.

Only Ghosts - Evan Handyside (Ambient, classical guitar) + TAB Evan Handyside 2022-03-18 | Guitar tab and blog: wp.me/p5JUVc-4lcGuitar performance and guitar tab for Only Ghosts, by Evan Handyside.Only GhostsI wrote and recorded Only Ghosts in 2016. At that point, I was in the infancy of my sound design implementation. I'm still learning, but I'm much better at working my music software -- dialing in the right reverb, EQ, and mastering. Additionally, I wanted to update this piece with a little more heart and sentimentality.I'm still massively inspired by The Haunting of Bly Manor score. That music (and series) allowed me to grasp that Only Ghosts is actually a gothic love song. I think of instrumental music in terms of an unspecific journey -- designed to elicit an emotional narrative. I added a section an end section to Only Ghosts which better resolves the song's story.The sound editing for this latest iteration of Only Ghosts is decidedly Lo-fi: an imperfect production quality that brings you closer to the guitar. You'll hear the hiss of mic gain with the highs and lows filtered out. I'm obsessed with getting Lo-fi editing right. I love the intimate sound that composer's Stephan Moccio and Dustin O'Halloran get with their piano performances. You can even hear the pressing of the keys.Only Ghosts on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3wEN0afOnly Ghosts on Apple: apple.co/3Jv3oh1#filmscore #originalmusic #fingerstyleguitarMy name is Evan.

Stephan Moccio is one of my recent finds on Spotify. He's an Italian/Canadian composer. I love his work. You'll want to think of him in terms of the post-classical space like: Dustin O'Halloran, Johann Johannsson, and Max Richter.I love the production on Fireflies -- where you can here the mic gain and the pressing of the keys -- as though you're sitting right beside the piano. This is an en vogue form of production in the post-classical space. I'm trying to figure out how to do it for my own recordings.Additionally, Fireflies is glorious example of minimalism in music. Just one simple chord progression and melody.

Their formative odyssey is initially on the back of a single, sputtering 1939 Norton 500cc motorcycle dubbed, La Poderosa (The Mighty One). The Motorcycle Diaries is based on the memoir (of the same name) by Ernesto Guevara.The film is a coming-of-age road journey -- akin to Easy Rider and On the Road. It's not as political as you'd think, given the author. Into the Wild is another comparable adventure.The Motorcycle Diaries has stunning cinematography and images of South America. The soundtrack is by far Gustavo Santaolalla’s best. It’s the greatest road-trip music you could ever listen to.My music on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3bhbKcnMy music on Apple: apple.co/31c2Rzd#themotorcyclediaries #gustavosantaolalla #aperturaMy name is Evan.

The Imitation Game | fingerstyle guitar + TAB Evan Handyside 2022-02-19 | Guitar tab and blog: wp.me/p5JUVc-4iEGuitar performance and guitar tab for, The Imitation Game, by composer, Alexandre Desplat.The Imitation Game is a 2014 British historical drama based on the 1983 biography, Alan Turing: The Enigma by Andrew Hodges. The film stars Benedict Cumberbatch as Turing, who decrypted Nazi intelligence messages for the British government during World War II.This is an incredible WW2 drama -- actually, one of the best historical WW2 films ever made. There's some compelling subplots too:˜ Having broken the Nazi Enigma code, British intelligence had to judiciously use the data -- so as not alert the Nazis that their code had been broken. Basically, they had slowly bend the arc of the war in their favor. This meant the unenviable task of picking winners and losers -- often putting Allied forces in harm's way.˜ Alan Turing -- a hero, whose genius likely saved an incalculable amount of lives -- was a victim of mid-century norms and social law. He was a closeted homosexual, and was charged in 1952 with "acts of gross indecency". Turning was forced to undergo chemical castration as an alternative to prison. He later committed suicide in 1954.The Imitation Game's music and central theme, by composer Alexandre Desplat, are now considered a modern classic. At the time of this writing, this theme has 52 million plays on Spotify alone. Incredibly high for a film music composition.My music on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3bhbKcnMy music on Apple: apple.co/31c2Rzd#fingerstyleguitar #theimitationgame #alanturingMy name is Evan.

The Godfather (Love Theme) | fingerstyle guitar + TAB Evan Handyside 2022-02-12 | Guitar tab and blog: wp.me/p5JUVc-4iaGuitar performance and guitar tab for, The Godfather (Love Theme) by composer Nino Rota.The GodfatherI'm currently 44, and just finally watched The Godfather and The Godfather Part II. If you're a young person and haven't seen these films, you must prioritize them straight away. They're total perfection in script, cinematography, and acting. You'll be glued to the screen -- only occasionally opening your phone to IMDb what you're seeing.[Pro tip: if you watch on Amazon Prime -- simply pausing the film on any given scene will bring up the actor's names at the bottom of your screen.]While it's consensus that Part II is an even better film, I'm still fixated on the 1st installment. The arc of Michael Corleone -- a doe-eyed WWII hero -- into the heir of "Godfather", is incredible to watch. Al Pacino's eyes slowly dim and his voice deepens throughout the film. This culminates in the final "baptism scene" where his soul is completely iced over. Again, most of his acting is done with his glare. I've never seen anything like it.Part II's most compelling story line is the fleshing out of Vito Corleone -- played to perfection by a young Robert De Niro. Even Marlon Brando's (older) Vito is kind of a good guy. He has prudence, and generally wants to do right by the people in his orbit. As we see with the young Vito -- the role of "Godfather" was given to him by circumstance. He only became brutal to overcome the brutality of others.My music on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3bhbKcnMy music on Apple: apple.co/31c2Rzd#thegodfather #fingerstyleguitar #filmscoreMy name is Evan.

The House (Netflix): This House Is... (Jarvis Cocker & Gustavo Santaolalla) fingerstyle guitar + TAB Evan Handyside 2022-01-29 | Guitar tab and blog: wp.me/p5JUVc-4hEInstrumental guitar performance and guitar tab for, 'This House Is...' by Jarvis Cocker & Gustavo Santaolalla. This is the final piece from The House (Netflix); a dark stop-animation feature.The House"Then the right set of dishes. Then the perfect bed. The drapes. The rug. Then you're trapped in your lovely nest, and the things you used to own, now they own you.”― Chuck Palahniuk, Fight ClubI highly recommend The House on Netflix. In general, stop-animation is incredibly engaging -- with a weirdness and authenticity that's impossible to look away from. The House couples this with excellent writing and a creeping dread. This film is an easy watch -- and you won't be checking your phone.The Fight Club metaphor is in full swing here. 'The House' has an obvious and universal message that should be revisited by our society: we're all sucked in and driven by unbridled consumerism, and our priorities are backwards. The film is not preachy in the least bit, but it's incredibly thoughtful.The music is by Gustavo Santaolalla, with the final song being sung by Jarvis Cocker from the British rock band, Pulp.[This is Hardcore (Pulp) is one of my most treasured albums. Jarvis and Santaolalla teaming up on the same same tune?!?! I'm sold.

a love unreturned - Evan Handyside (Ambient, World guitar) + TAB Evan Handyside 2022-01-21 | Guitar tab and blog: wp.me/p5JUVc-4heSpotify: https://spoti.fi/3rGP0dUApple: apple.co/3qRZNT6Guitar performance and guitar tab for, 'a love unreturned', by Evan Handyside'a love unreturned'When I write music, put my hands on the guitar to see what happens. After I get two or three notes, I execute what I hear in my head, and follow that thread until completion.It's hard for me to get away from Gustavo Santaolalla's sound, as his style informs all of my playing at this point. However, my main influence for 'a love unreturned' was the work of composer, Abel Korzeniowski; a Polish composer of theater and film scores.Korzeniowski most famously composed the music for Tom Ford's Nocturnal Animals. In my opinion, he should have been nominated for an Academy Award in 2016 for that score. The music totally drives the final scene of that movie.My music on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3bhbKcnMy music on Apple: apple.co/31c2Rzd#originalmusic #fingerstyleguitar #worldmusicMy name is Evan.
