JC De La Torre, Creator and Head Writer Show Information * What is the story of why you started your show? Continuum Force was a show four years in the making. When we started, there weren't many audio dramas doing time travel. As ubergeeks, we had a love for Doctor Who and Stargate SG-1. We thought what would be better than combining the two concepts, sprinkle in a bit of Ancient Alien theory and alt-history to make a fun, thrilling adventure. Unfortunately, one of our main actors took ill and eventually passed away. We're happy to say we were able to use some of his audio in episode one because doing this project without him was just unacceptable. You'll hear him as the wild pirate Charles Vane. In addition to visiting different points in history and playing around with what-if scenarios, we also wanted to bring attention to a lesser-known aspect of the LGBTQIA community with one of our characters, Lesley Barber. The character is ACE, and one of the storylines will hang a lantern on it to help educate people on what that means. * When did this show first air? 1/8/2019 * What genre(s) apply to your show: Military Sci-Fi, Time-Travel Episode Information * What's the name of the episode you want us to use?

Cinematic Sound Radio - Soundtracks, Film, TV and Video Game Music
Welcome to the premiere episode of SOUNDTRACK ALLEY here on CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO. SOUNDTRACK ALLEY is a podcast hosted and produced by Randy Andrews who is also the host and producer of ANIME SPECTACULAR here on the network. SOUNDTRACK ALLEY has been around for many years and I’ve been honoured to be a guest on his show many times to discuss numerous topics like STAR TREK, INDIANA JONES, and CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND. The show is a discussion formatted program where Randy invites a special guest to talk about one of his favourite films and film scores. The discussion usually ranges from 90 minutes to 2 hours in length with in-depth discussions of the film and music. Randy has produced close to 100 episodes of the show which also included various composer interviews. A few days ago, Randy came to me and told me that he was thinking of moving SOUNDTRACK ALLEY to CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO. We had a lengthy discussion to make sure this is what he wanted and after going over the details we agreed to bring all-new episodes of the podcast over the network. However, the entire archive of previous SOUNDTRACK ALLEY episodes will stay on the original server as an archive. We did this so fans of the show could still access the older programs without having to bring them all onto the CSR servers. The first episode to premiere here on CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO is a discussion between myself and Randy Andrews about the film and score to INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL released in 2008. The film was the fourth instalment in the Indiana Jones series set in 1957, pitting Indiana Jones against Soviet agents – led by Irina Spalko – searching for a telepathic crystal skull. The original score for the film was composed and conducted by John Williams and performed by The Hollywood Symphony Orchestra. We hope you enjoy the discussion, the music and all future episodes of SOUNDTRACK ALLEY. Enjoy! And now, here is Randy Andrews statement on SOUNDTRACK ALLEY joining CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO. —— Hi, I’m Randy Andrews, you might know me from ANIME SPECTACULAR. I wanted to give you a very brief history of SOUNDTRACK ALLEY. I was always impressed by podcasting, and I’ve always had a love of film music. About 6 years ago, I began listening to a local podcast that encouraged its listeners to call in or send an mp3 for a recorded answer. I did so many times. Soon, my comments became more and more intriguing for the host. They encouraged me to start my own podcast about soundtracks. About a half year later, I did my research and bought a podcast microphone and started recording shows, not really knowing what I was doing. By my 11th episode, I was interviewing big-name composers like Craig Safan from THE LAST STARFIGHTER. Then I discovered CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO while at work and it changed my life! I got in touch with Erik Woods and asked him if he would like to be on my our program to discuss CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND.. He accepted and from there, he introduced me to the Krakower Group headed up by the late Beth Krakower and they helped me to interview more composers like Blake Neely, Elik Elverez, and Rolf Kent jus to mention a few. I also took the initiative to reach out to composers on my own such as Lesley Barber, Sharon Farber, Bruce Rowland, and Rob Cairns. Over the years, SOUNDTRACK ALLEY has gone through a couple of iterations and transitions due do unforeseen circumstances and the latest version of the podcast unfortunately hasn’t been doing as well as I hoped. I needed another change. This is where Erik Woods and CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO comes into play. I’ve always wanted to share my love of films and film music with as many people as possible and this transition over to CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO gives me that opportunity. CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO is one of the best venue’s for film, TV and video game music radio/podcasting and I’m thrilled to bring my show to the network and all of the loyal, long time listeners of CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO. I want to thank Erik Woods for all the encouragement over the years as he has been the biggest supporter of me and SOUNDTRACK ALLEY. A new chapter has begun and I can’t wait to share my passion with you all. To be included in such an amazing family of podcasts is an honour. Here’s to the future! —— Check out our NEW Cinematic Sound Radio TeePublic Store! https://www.teepublic.com/stores/cinematic-sound-radio Cinematic Sound Radio Web: http://www.cinematicsound.net Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/cinsoundradio Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/cinematicsound Cinematic Sound Radio Fanfare and Theme by David Coscina https://soundcloud.com/user-970634922 Bumper voice artist: Tim Burden http://www.timburden.com

这是《得意忘形》播客的第 42 期节目。本期节目的嘉宾是之前来作客过的,我的好朋友康堤老师。不过之前的节目她都是作为采访和辅助的角色,而这次我们终于可以坐下来一起聊聊她最擅长也最感兴趣的话题:叙事学。在这期节目里,我们从「storytelling」的重要性讲起,谈了谈故事的结构、种类、发展变化,还有人类如今在不同形式里——文学、电影、游戏、真人秀——的叙事水平都达到了怎样的程度。最后,我们当然再次回到了人生在世无法回避的那些问题:关于创作、体验、感受与存在的意义。本期节目要点与扩展阅读(由康堤老师提供):* 【书籍】罗兰·巴特《恋人絮语》:微博式的恋爱片段和哲思。* 【概念】叙事学(storytelling):罗兰·巴特认为任何材料都适宜于叙事,除了文学作品以外,还包括绘画、电影、连环画、社会杂闻、会话,叙事承载物可以是口头或书面的有声语言、固定或活动的画面、手势,以及所有这些材料的有机混合。* 【叙事手法】POV(point of view):视点人物写作法。* 【叙事手法】成长小说:以主人公的成型开始,直到角色达到某种程度的完善结束。主人公一般在做两件事:自我整合和融入社会。* 【书籍】朱利安·巴恩斯《终结的感觉》:“不可靠的记忆与不充分的材料相遇所产生的确定性就是历史。”用叙事怀疑叙事,写记忆、主客观时间、自我叙事的不可靠性。* 【书籍】约瑟夫·坎贝尔《千面英雄》:追溯了全世界几乎所有神话系统中与英雄历险相关的故事,并从中揭示出相同的英雄原型。* 【书籍】布莱克·斯奈德《救猫咪》:书名来自于编剧行话“先让英雄救猫咪”。一章一种电影(叙事)套路拆析。* 【电影】《海边的曼彻斯特》:没有和解,丧是对死的哀悼。I can't beat it.* 【叙事手法】关于《敦刻尔克》最好的影评:反叙事曲线,没有铺垫,海陆空三条线同时从高潮开始讲起。* 【叙事手法】如何欣赏蒙德里安的画?:“我尤其享受一种奇特的感觉,就是当我盯着某件东西,然后顿悟的瞬间:原来这样东西是有结构的,它本身就在和我对话。我的首例就是蒙德里安。”* 【电视剧】坂元裕二与《四重奏》:吃饭,聊天,演奏,偶尔去超市。谜不重要,偶尔的相聚才重要。* 【电视剧】又吉直树与《火花》:揪心的玩笑与漫长的白日梦。“我啊,是为了表演足以推翻世界常识的漫才,而走上这条路的我唯一推翻的,只有‘努力必定会有回报’这句话。”* 【书籍】纳博科夫与《微暗的火》:“一个上弦的玩具,一次疑难的棋局,一场地狱般的布局,一个捕捉评论家的陷阱,一部由你自行组织的小说。”* 【书籍】博尔赫斯与《小径分叉的花园》:时间如迷宫。* 【真人秀】罗英石与《反正竞赛还很长》:五年里他一直在思考怎样让节目“少点油,更清淡”。* 【真人秀】《孝利家民宿》:第二季下月开拍!* 【概念】“决定性瞬间”作品:事件进行过程中恰好有一个瞬间,所有元素各得其所,同时展现出特定内涵和意义。* 【电影】艾伦·索金与《史蒂夫·乔布斯》:聚焦乔布斯生前三件关键性产品的发布时刻。“一个月大的婴儿到底能做什么坏事,让他的父母把他退回呢?”* 【电影】《沉默的羔羊》与精神分析:人类中的大魔王相遇小神徒,手指轻触的一刻像极了“创世纪”。* 【书籍】《白夜行》与共生概念:“槍蝦會挖洞,住在洞裡。可有個傢伙卻要去同住,那就是蝦虎魚。不過蝦虎魚也不白住,它會在洞口巡視,要是有外敵靠近,就擺動尾鰭通知洞裡的槍蝦。它們合作無間,這好像叫互利共生。”音乐(本期音乐和剪辑均由康堤老师操刀):* Cold Little Heart by Michael Kiwanuka(《大小谎言》片头)* Main Titles by Ramin Djawadi(《权力的游戏》片头)* Manchester By the Sea Chorale by Lesley Barber(《海边的曼彻斯特》片尾)* おとなの掟 by Doughnuts Hole(《四重奏》片尾)* 기억해 by 李孝利(《孝利家民宿》插曲)* Goodbye to Romance by Ozzy Osbourne(《孝利家民宿》插曲)节目简介:《得意忘形》是一个主张追求个体自由与探寻真理的媒体计划。我们见证了第一次工业革命以来科技对人类社会的极大推动与助益,但也意识到资本主义与市场经济不可避免地催生了消费文化、剥夺了个人价值、并窃取了大众时间。带着对生命的有限性与无目的性的敬畏,我们试图为读者与听众提供更全面的觉察自我与认知世界的工具,以不断重建当下的方式穿越时间、抵达生活的本质。

Composer Lesley Barber takes some time to share her journey to becoming a composer and some insights into her process. Lesley's talents and versatility have brought us memorable scores to films such as Hysterical Blindness, Mansfield Park, You Can Count On Me, and recently the critically-acclaimed Manchester By The Sea. We chat about her process for Manchester By The Sea including reconnecting with writer/director Kenneth Lonergan for their second film together. Lesley explains how she came up with the inspiration to utilize vocals in her score, and how she navigated a heavy subject matter as well as source music. Lesley also gives her views on her score being rejected from Oscar consideration due to the use of classical pieces in the film. Lesley's unique style and strong talents as a musical storyteller make this a fun and fascinating interview for all.

Casey Affleck has been in the paper a lot recently for not the right reasons. Without getting involved or placing an opinion of the alleged allegations against Casey Affleck, I believe his career in Hollywood and acting should not be judged by his actions outside of acting. This is my own personal viewpoint, and shall be throughout my review of Manchester by the Sea. Directed by Kenneth Lonergan, Machester follows the events from the perspective of Joe Chandler, a handyman from Quincy, Massachusetts, after he receives a call of word that his brother is having a heart attack. Arriving too late in Manchester, Joe is given the guardianship of his brothers son Patrick. The majority of the film is in the present day as Joe tries to figure out what to do with Patrick, whilst having a total disconnect to the town itself. For the rest of the film, flashbacks are used as exposition to explain why Joe is the way he is, and how he came to leave Manchester to live in Quincy in the first place. Without spoiling anything major, this film is very dark, brutal, and cold. The events which occur in them are quite shocking and depressing, however they are also bookended by some truly hilarious black comedy, and situational moments. Not many people agree with me, however I see Manchester by the Sea as a black comedy drama rather than just a drama, as almost all of the comedic moments in the film are perfect, timed well, and make light somehow, of the very sad slice of life mentality the film holds. Lonergan hasn’t directed since 2011, the film being Margaret, but it’s like he hasn’t been out of action at all. The directing skills he has show in the film, each staging of the shots and actors positions are smooth and sublime, whilst the acting itself is fantastic. Affleck needs to be talked about solely as this is easily a career best for him. His lack of emotion as Joe is heart wrenching, especially when intercut with scenes from his past where you can still see the light in his eyes, the love in his voice, and his boyish charm. His present self is slow, uncaring, and saddening. You don’t need to be told what he’s gone through as you can just tell from looking at the way he acts. Special mention must be given to Lucas Hedges as well, as his performance as Patrick Chandler is a perfect example of a teenager forced to deal with adult situations. The character of Patrick is very brutal and rare itself, and seeing him interact with a much younger Joe in flashbacks provides further moments of the realisation of the tough lives the pair lead. Moving away from the plot, the actual production and planning for this film must be given credit too due to the length of time spent trying to get it made, and overall development of such. The film was produced by Matt Damon, who originally was meant to star in it as well in Affleck’s role. However, this changed to having John Krasinski as main actor a bit later, before Casey Affleck was finally locked down to be the main star. With pre production of the film beginning all the way back in September of 2014, it's brilliant to see how far the film went through development to finally air worldwide in 2017. Manchester by the Sea is also filmed in its namesake, Manchester by the Sea, which adds to the realism to the film, as the plot is quite natural and easily could happen in real life. Additionally, the music by Lesley Barber in this film is marvellous as well, being an eerie mix between ethereal and hallowing tones. It's hard to discuss the film in detail without dropping too much about plot, so I urge anyone who is capable of withstanding a brutal 137 minute sitting to go and see this film. Currently nominated for 6 academy awards, with Affleck being the frontrunner for best actor, Manchester by the Sea deserves the praise it's received, as it’s a both a film and example of the hardships in life.

Casey Affleck has been in the paper a lot recently for not the right reasons. Without getting involved or placing an opinion of the alleged allegations against Casey Affleck, I believe his career in Hollywood and acting should not be judged by his actions outside of acting. This is my own personal viewpoint, and shall be throughout my review of Manchester by the Sea.

This week we talk with Composer Lesley Barber who recently worked on Director Kenneth Lonergan's new film, Manchester by the Sea starring Casey Affleck and Michelle Williams. Barber previously worked with Lonergan on his acclaimed debut feature, “You Can Count On Me,” and she has provided music for films such as “Mansfield Park,” “Hysterical Blindness,” “A Price Above Rubies,” and “When Night Is Falling.” For ‘Manchester,’ Barber utilized harmonized vocal performances and atmospheric orchestral work to create a memorable score that makes an excellent companion to the classical pieces curated by the award-winning music supervisor Linda Cohen. After the death of his older brother Joe, Lee Chandler (Casey Affleck) is shocked that Joe has made him sole guardian of his teenage nephew Patrick. Taking leave of his job as a janitor in Boston, Lee reluctantly returns to Manchester-by-the-Sea, the fishing village where his working-class family has lived for generations. There, he is forced to deal with a past that separated him from his wife, Randi (Michelle Williams), and the community where he was born and raised.
Cartoonist Alison Bechdel created an influential means of measuring the significance of the role woman play in film: Does the film contain a conversation between two women about something other than a man? Reflecting International Women's Day on Sunday, Matthew Sweet features music for films that pass the Bechdel Test. Featured scores includes "Thelma and Louise", "Gone With The Wind", "Silence Of The Lambs", "The Portrait Of A Lady", "The Princess Mononoke", "Orlando", "Annie Get Your Gun". The Classic Score of the Week is Alfred Newman's "All About Eve". Matthew also profiles scores by some of the foremost women film composers, including Lesley Barber, Lisa Gerrard, Doreen Carwithen, Rachel Portman, Anne Dudley, Jocelyn Pook, Laura Rossi and Debbie Wiseman. @bbcradio3 #womensday.
