The Unforseen
Feature film "The Unforeseen", directed by Laura Dunn, produced by Terrence
Mallick and Robert Redford, will feature a full score by Graham. The
documentary tracks the battle of nature vs. humans, with Austin’s Barton
Springs and its fight with developers and the symbolic focus. Dunn is an
accomplished documentarian, Mallick initiated the idea for the project, and
Redford, who learned to swim at Barton Springs, has thrown his weight behind
it and is featured in the film.

Scanner
Darkly Music Credits |
A Scanner Darkly opens
July 7th in theaters everywhere featuring
Graham's score. Directed by Richard
Linklater, based on book by Phillip
K. Dick, and starring Keanu Reeves,
Winona Ryder, Robert Downey Jr., and
Woody Harrelson. There are several
Radiohead songs that play in the film
as well as a brand new solo song by
lead singer Thom Yorke. One of the
few early reviews of the film was from
cinematical.com which said "Graham
Reynolds' score…fit subtly and perfectly
with the unique look of the film."
I'm sure we'll get plenty of mixed
press so it's nice to enjoy the good
ones.
Only a small portion of the people
who did so much work on this score
will actually get their names on the
big screen. So, here is the list in
full.
Graham- piano, keyboards, drums, guitar,
bass, vibraphone, glockenspiel, harmonium,
percussion.
Erik Grostic- Upright Bass
Buzz Moran- Guitar, Percussion
Bruce Colson-Violin
Joseph Shuffield- Violin
Jason Elinof- Viola
Jon Dexter- Cello
Jeff Johnston- Saw
Paul Klemperer- baritone sax, Leigh-Anne
Woodard-oboe, Thad Scott- tenor sax
and flute, Ames Asbell-viola, Valerie
Klatt-cello, Charles Prewitt-cello,
P. Kellach Waddle-upright bass, Jessica
Guilliam-Valls-upright bass, Eric Hargett-bass
clarinet, Peter Stopschinski-electronics,
Wayne Myers-trombone, Mike Hoffer-trombone.
Recorded and Mixed by Graham with a
whole lot of help from:
Recording and Mixing Engineer- Buzz
Moran
Score Preparation and Mix Assistant-
Peter Stopschinski
Music Supervisor- Nic Ratner
Sound Supervisor- Tom Hammond
Thanks to Justin Hennard for the use
of his harmonium.
I did a whole lot of mixing but Buzz
also spent a great deal of time in
the driver's seat and was a reliable
second set of ears. Peter would notate
my improvisations, then I would orchestrate
them. Nic came several times and helped
me find a direction for the music that
Rick and the producers liked. Tom mixed
our music into the film as it evolved
and gave consistent advice. Rick, the
editor, the producers, and Warner Brothers
all had their hand in helping shape
the direction of the music with notes,
comments, and requests.
The whole thing was recorded here in
my bedroom. Thanks to Shawn for tolerating
that and for her idea to add guitar. |

Introducing
the Alamo organ: Phantom of the
Opera |
The Alamo's New Wurlizter
Organ, April 27th. Introducing
the Alamo Organ: Phantom of the Opera.
Graham plays that cool new/old organ
at the Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar
along to the silent classic "Phantom
of the Opera" starring Lon Chaney.
I've been trying to learn how to use
this beast each month at the Dionysium.
It's gigantic with 3 keyboards, a leslie,
and more I buttons than I know what
to do with. Some of them work and some
don't so that's part of the challenge.
Peter and I did a score for this a
little while back and I'll be using
that material mixed with some new stuff
but all in pure organ form. After all
the band, ensemble, and piano silent
film scores we've done, it's going
to be fun to go old school. |
