I get what you're saying but Trent IS picking and choosing. They're working in service to whatever the filmmakers' vision is. It's not as if a director asks for a bombastic score and Trent & Atticus say "nah, we're just going to give you this because that's all we feel like doing". If a director wants a minimalist score, then that's what they'll ask for. Oh yeah, and one more thing: the amount of music that's in a film is not up to the composer(s). Just because a film may not be your cup of tea or have loads of music attached to it doesn't mean that they're phoning it in. Morricone may not, but if you think Hans Zimmer is frothing at the mouth to score films like The Boss Baby, you're dead fucking wrong.Īlso, Trent has specifically stated that they've been offered films and they've passed on them because they didn't feel like they were a good fit for them.

They are at a level where they do not need to compose films or tv shows to pay the bills.Ĭarpenter and Morricone and Hans Zimmer do not say yes to everything that they get offered.Ĭarpenter would totally say yes to anything that was offered to him if the money was right. I know it's hard to grasp it, but not every musician makes career choices based on the individual needs of every fan. They also, if you can believe it, might also be collaborating with friends or, in Jonah Hill's case, fans, as a courtesy, or just entirely for fun. They just enjoy making music, and enjoy the process of scoring films. Next we are going to hear how TR and Atticus are going to score a "very special episode" of Fuller House Carpenter and Morricone and Hans Zimmer do not say yes to everything that they get offered. They can be selective and choose what they want, so saying yes to Jonah Hill skateboard movies to dump out 4 songs that he can write in his sleep that he composed backstage in the most half baked way possible, or to say yes to some netflix show where 99% of the audience watching it wont give two fucks who the score came from doesnt seem prudent at this juncture of their careers. They are working more like standard film composers, not elite ones (which they are).They are at a level where they do not need to compose films or tv shows to pay the bills.
