Nous
vous présentons aujourd'hui la troisième et
dernière partie de notre longue interview avec le
compositeur Goeff Zanelli. Après ces quelques
lignes où nous revennons avec lui sur l'épopée
Pirates des Caraibes, vous pourrez découvrir
aussi sur inter-activities ses premiers sentiments
sur son travail pour Hitman le film,
adaptation des célèbres jeux vidéos. Le film
sortira en France le 26 décembre, et cette
interview a eu lieu juste après le mixage de sa
partition.
Par ailleurs, pour compléter la
couverture de cet évenement, vous découvrirez d'ici
quelques jours sur
inter-activities rubrique jeux vidéos,
une interview de Jesper Kyd, le "Père musical" d'Hitman,
puisque c'est lui qui à signé toutes les partitions
des jeux vidéos d'Hitman jusqu'au tout
récent Blood Money.
PIRATES DES CARAIBES
How did you come on
Pirates?
Goeff Zanelli - I
was asked to help out.
On which ones did you work?
All 3.
Do you think there will be a fourth?
Probably.
Would you be interested to be part of it?
Sure.
How did you work with Remote Control
composers and the film crew?
Very
closely, as always.
May you
tell me about your approach for the films?
Depends which film.
The first one, we had just over 3 weeks to write it,
so the approach was simply write as fast as you can.
It was very, very hectic and chaotic, but at the same
time a great joy. We all knew we were helping the
film.
How much time did you have to compose your
score?
On the first, just
over 3 weeks. The other two, probably 10 weeks on
each.
On what senes did you worked on?
There were so
many! I can barely remember, but let’s see, on the
first one I did the moonlight serenade, and the ship
to ship chase, the scenes before the actual battle.
The end credits piece, “He’s A Pirate,” was my
arrangement of Hans’ theme. Then once Pirates 2 came,
I was doing more writing as opposed to arranging, so
I composed the Tia Dalma/Calypso theme, and then the
Cannibal Island music, most of that was mine. I mean
the music which wasn’t Jack’s theme. For Pirates 3,
Tia Dalma has a, literally, bigger part in the film,
and so I worked on the Calypso cues, and enjoyed
getting to develop my little theme, which now had to
become a big theme.
To you, what is the most interesting, the
most successful or the most complex scene you had to
score for this film?
I really have no idea
again. I know I spent the most time on the ship to
ship chase during Pirates 1.
Have you any anecdote to tell us about the
production of Pirates of the Caribbean?
You’d think I would,
since I worked on Pirates movies for the last 4 years
of my life, but I somehow can’t think of anything at
the moment. Those were all, for me, very work
intensive projects, so I spent most of the time in my
room with my head down, working.
What did the experience bring to you,
personnally and as a composer ?
Well, I very
much enjoy seeing these films succeed. I love how
people have responded to the Pirates films, and the
scores themselves. So that’s a great pleasure for me,
to know that so many people are enjoying the work.
