ItвЂ™s complex writing with a very humble result.вЂ™

вЂHe uses a great deal of divisi in his string section, so there can be 16 different parts in an incredibly complicated arrangement, and yet it sounds so simple. вЂNewman is so clever with his use of sound,вЂ™ he says. They can create an entire sound world while allowing the audience to follow a narrative.вЂ™ Navarrete cites Newman as a particular master of understated string writing (for example in the 1994 film The Shawshank Redemption). However, high-pitched strings can be played softly and delicately (itвЂ™s not a hard sound), so they donвЂ™t intrude on dialogue. вЂYou have to be very careful when using some instruments in conjunction with words: the flute, which is high-pitched and piercing, is an obvious example. вЂStrings donвЂ™t cloud the dialogue,вЂ™ explains Doyle. StringsвЂ™ ability to remain unobtrusively in the background, then, to add a flavour of emotion or tension while allowing dialogue and storyline to take centre stage, is of paramount importance. As composer John Williams said in a 1997 interview with Total Film magazine, вЂMovie music is often banal and simplistic, mostly because it has to be, as we donвЂ™t have the listenerвЂ™s attention, and if we expect to have it weвЂ™ll write a bad film score.вЂ™ Yet itвЂ™s not just in grand, emotional scenarios where strings are important for cinematic storytelling. I canвЂ™t imagine the film without strings now. вЂIt was such a grand, beautiful scene that in the end we thought, вЂњScrew it, letвЂ™s just go for it and see how it feels.вЂќ Because there were so many non-orchestral sounds mixed in there вЂ“ synths, kicks, distortions, backwards loops and so on вЂ“ and because of the gravity and scale of the scene, the strings didnвЂ™t feel out of place. вЂBut we then shot the scene where Kaneda sacrifices himself to save the spaceship so the crew can save the world,вЂ™ says Murphy. The two wanted to use other instruments to convey the cold alien environment of space and to avoid repeating the numerous вЂspace scoresвЂ™ that already existed. ItвЂ™s a phenomenon that composer John Murphy experienced first-hand when scoring his Adagio in D minor for Danny BoyleвЂ™s Sunshine in 2007: вЂItвЂ™s funny, but one of the things Danny and I agreed on before I started Sunshine was вЂњdefinitely no stringsвЂќ,вЂ™ he recalls.
