Author	Topic: Yo Yo Yo, Whazzap Whazzap!!!!

Master At Work Oscar® Nominee	New member in the HOWSE In case you're wondering, my M.A.W. handle is in tribute to my two fave NYC club dj/remixers, "Little" Louie Vega and Kenny "Dope" Gonzalez, who have from time2time expressed interest in branching out into soundtracking, but far as I know, nuthin' like dat cumin from dis dynamic duo, so far anyways Just wondering if any of my fellow film music buffs also share my interest in clubmusic (house, acid jazz, ambient etc.) Personally, it strikes me as completely natural to dig' em both, but lotta my clubbie homeys ain't down wid me wid dat, and yo, I tink dat's WACK. So i comes here lookin for a new set to hang with, peeps who might Understand, dig? You might think these two interests would make me eager to see "Groove", as well as the other two upcoming independent films centered around the rave scene, but for some reason I just can't get too excited about them and am really in no hurry. But if anyone else does, feel free to report here & let me know what you thought! Comments, mad props? M.A.W. NP: Cabaret Voltaire, "Theme From Earthshaker"

Master At Work Oscar® Nominee	Whazzamattah Timmer, cat gutcher tongue? (looks like you wasn't the Only one though, eh? ) Yo evvybawdy, call me MAW, evvybawdy esse duz Though I tend to favor house, I like techno & trance when it avoids industrial-style abrasion and embraces melodic sumptuousness- Opus 3, some 808 State and Kama Sutra's "Nightwalk" are great for example. Naturally Philip Glass is THA MAN, he is the clear Godfather of the determine-your-own-epiphany repitition that dominates 2day's club scene. Course, most of what his legacy hath spawned doesn't come Close to his mastery. He trained at Julliard & under Nadia Boulanger, so that shows what a true visionary can do when armed with a rigorous classical edjacation Also my man John Barry, for his unsurpassed swaggerin' tonalities & style which, though I can't Prove it, I believe influenced lotta the best remixers including MAW, Deep Dish, Roger Sanchez and Mark "MK" Kinchen. I also like orthodox film composers who have from time2time been unafraid to dabble in the house & acidjazz grooves, either inside or outside the context of filmmusic. Ryuichi Sakamoto's "High Heels" and non-score "Heartbeat" album come to mind immediately, but there are others, albeit mostly in smaller, usually gay-themed independent films. On a related note, NP: the "Kit Kat Klub" kut from Party Girl (used in the scene where Miss Ultimate Thang Parker Posey runs thru a tongue-in-cheek voguedance with a clubpal; don't look for this cut on the score release though, it was left off, much to the disappointment of LOTTA folx If anyone here's really interested in what it was though, I'll go Diggin' Thru Mah Crates and getcha the exact artist, title & label (I'm guessing Eightball records but don't hold me to that) next chance I get! PAYCE! M.A.W. [This message has been edited by Master At Work (edited 05 July 2000).]

Swashbuckler Oscar® Winner	Hard Target, I take offense at you leaving me out of the New York contingent of this Message Board. I'm afraid you must be tortured. Mrs. Hornwinkle, bring the leeches. M.A.W., what do you think of Graeme Revell, Michael Nyman and Benny Herrmann?

Justin Oscar® Winner	Hey MAW, what do you think Crystal Method could do if they scored a movie? Seems like it would be interesting

Scott Oscar® Winner	MAW, welcome. Just a question (and don't take this the wrong way), do you always talk like this? Scott

John Maher Oscar® Winner	I despise the Whazzap thing so much (my kids are strictly forbidden to utter it), that I just had to click on this thread. Welcome MAW, to this goofy place. I think you'll like it here. John (although I do have a brother named Tim)

Master At Work Oscar® Nominee	Yo don't Worry, there Is no wrong way to take such quextions Of Couwse, The New Yawk style is to take it right back into yo face though, so as Rosie Perez might put it, Lit's Git Da Pawdy Stawded! While I always encourage the bleeding of these two worlds into each udder, and have nothing Against Crystal Meth really, the truth is that the media always seem to latch onto a few of dese artists who have what tha rekkid company deems the most currently marketable images (CM, Chembrothers, Prodigy, Junior Vasquez and Moby, though I do enjoy the latter's "Ambient" album, his "God Moving Over the Face of the Waters" heard over Heat's end credits, and he's hella fun in interviews!). And more often than not, while these artists may have a gift for generating mainstream buzz, they're not always the sharpest shooters out there. Junior Vasquez REALLY comes to mind here; he buddies up to Madonna and next thing you know, Rolling Stone (gag, somebody kill that smug, out-of-touch little sh!t Jann Wenner) does a cover story on him. WhatEVER. He does not deserve so much name recognition; his spotty track record's not half as strong as, say, Danny Tenaglia. Nyman did "Piano", right? wasn't too bad, and the flick weren't too bad either. Other than that, don't know him much. BTW, director Jane Campion's sister Anna's flick "Loaded" featured a not-bad triphop score by Simon Fisher Turner. My Herrmann background is similarly sketchy, though I always feel a sympatico for unpredictable misanthropes "North By Northwest" and "Taxi Driver" both have nice moments, though the latter is so laughably over-the-top towards the end, I just can't take it seriously. Seeing as how it was his swan song, I can only Hope he Meant for that to happen Funny you should mention Revell- though my knowledge of his oeuvre is also sketchy, I did happen to catch both "Strange Days" and "Chinese Box" in the last few weeks. I thought both had their moments: his collaboration on the former with Deep Forest was kinda interesting, even though I think DF also typify the phenomenon of overhyped, mainstream-embrace-friendly artists I just got done ranting against; and his latter work had kinduva Chinoiserie-tinged Enya sound (though Enya's sometimes pretty limp, this time I mean the comparison in a Good way ) Box also effectively, unexpectedly made use of Club 69's slammin' howse tune "Let Me Be Your Underwear" in the danceclub scene!!! On a related note, someone privately axed me for examples of howse use in gay-themed films. Well, one that comes to mind right off is the Brit flick "Thin Ice", which in a lesclub scene, has arabic vocals twisting eerily above impeccable, unflappable house beats, courtesy of Simon Smart & Warren Bennett (and produced by the Shabiere Brothers- no, I'm not familiar with them either.) "Man of the Year" might also have some too, can't recall offhand though. I'll try to think of some more- POICE OUT, Y'ALL!! NP: Uncanny Alliance, "I Got My Education" (M.A.W. bootleg mix)
