Alec Baldwin, Joel & Ethan Coen, Carter Burwell. | Art of the Score [WSF2013]
Alec Baldwin, Joel and Ethan Coen, film composer Carter Burwell, and neuroscientist Aniruddh Patel explore the uniquely powerful role of music in shaping the narrative flow and the emotional impact of film. From Stanley Kubrick's classic 2001: A Space Odyssey to the Coen Brothers' Miller's Crossing and True Grit, this program examines the creative process of scoring feature films and the neuro-scientific insights that reveal how such compositions profoundly shape the audience experience.
A Co-Presentation of World Science Festival and the New York Philharmonic

i love how joel coen seems to always hate/squirm/nearly die speaking about his films
Not always: kzhead.info/sun/h8WDhtFpoZGjmXk/bejne.html "The Coen Brothers interviewed by Guillermo del Toro"
They've stated they don't ever watch their movies after the fact.
@@crappymcdick Most directors do not like watching their films .The only director I know who enjoys their own films is Tarantino. PTA has watched There will Be Blood once after making it.
i realize I'm quite off topic but do anyone know a good place to stream newly released series online ?
The final Ennio Morricone acknowledgement by the Coen brothers is heartbreaking and wonderful. GENIUSES AND MONSTERS UNDERSTAND AND APPRECIATE EACH OTHER'S. 🙏
what do you mean by geniuses and ‘monsters’?
Incredible that O Brother wasn't mentioned even once, even though it's the only Coen film besides Lebowski whose soundtrack got any sort of recognition. That had to have been deliberate.
This was especially fascinating for me because I've been composing and arranging music since I was 16 years old. I'm now 68 and have been a Coen bros. freak since "Raising Arizona" was first released. Such a pleasure to see and hear Carter Burwell for the first time, too. This is also the longest Joel and Ethan have ever tolerated this type of format to my knowledge. They are without peer.
I love how Alec seems like a grade-5 school boy who _has_ to give a presentation
This is a treasure to listen to.
Very informative - thanks.
Thank you! This was great.
Thanks for this! I enjoyed the everloving spit out of this discussion.
Brilliant...
this is GOLD
"We had just done a Jewy movie". Learned a new word tonight.
Thank you
good stuff indeed, thanks for sharing. Actually displays the intelligence and interest in film that A Baldwin clearly has...a pro no-doubt.
the coens the most respected film makers in Hollywood are right there and you're talking about Baldwin lol
yes, how stupid of me.
fascinating. thanks very much for posting.
You're welcome Eli! More cool stuff on the way...
PAL|Soundtrack Specialist outstanding! would love to get shore/cronenberg up there...a director/composer team for the ages imo.
Eli Friedmann There's one but it's completely in French; would have to translate it.
oy!
Coen brothers true grit is such a great film. Realy unappreciated imo
It's their biggest box office hit by far, was critically acclaimed, received multiple Oscar nominations, was nominated and won many other international awards...and to you that's "really unappreciated"?
Random cut to Alan Alda 1:18:22
Quite a sobering production tale from Baldwin and Coen Bros. about popular music (particularly classic rock) being prohibitively expensive. I wouldn't be surprised if most of the budget of films like _Goodfellas_ and _Casino_ went directly towards securing rights to all of that music from the Stones, Who, Devo, Carlo Buti, etc.
It depends upon whether a director (or whomever) goes for already super well known songs - which makes their film more immediately accessible to viewers ie basically a very commercial, crown pleasing source; or whether they select much less obvious popular songs. Also, as Quentin Tarantino put it - they turn up the soundtrack to create a false energy, or a period feel. And also hope to MAKE money by flogging 2 CD soundtrack sets. Or they could do things differently, and much more originally. Take Pulp Fiction, for example. The ENTIRE budget for the film was $8.5m To give context, made in the same year were Dumb & Dumber budget $17m Shawshank Redemption $25m Forrest Gump $55m And Forrest Gump used popular music. REally obvious popular music eg Aretha Franklin's Respect Creedence CR Fortunate Son Elvis Presley Hound Dog Lynyrd Skynyrd Sweet Home Alabama (a song so overplayed it's virtually impossible not to hate it) Which of these films had a really memorable soundtrack? The one with the smallest budget. The music wasn't used to "signal" the year. Indeed, it gives the film a timeless quality. Or out of time quality. Tarantino also had an especially excellent music supervisor, Karyn Rachtman. She got the job on Reservoir Dogs because SHE was able to get "Stuck in the Middle with You" for 10K , which the man who HAD had the job said wasn't remotely possible. SHE was willing to do the work...including getting the 2 composers to agree, which, as they had fallen out badly and wouldn't speak to each other, was very tricky. Like low budget film making in general, a lot depends upon how hard people are willing to work. Take the Merchant Ivory films. Howard's End, made in 1992, for $8m, was a freaking "costume drama" ie everything was super expensive - clothes for everyone even extras, vehicles, trains, furniture etc..And it had bloomin Anthony Hopkins, Vanessa Redgrave, Emma Thompson, Helena Bonham Carter, Simon Callow in it. But Ismail Merchant worked REALLY negotiating everything. He's negotiate for each car, and location, and anything. He famously used to cook the food for cast and crew as well. Film makers don't have to spend a fortune on their soundtrack of pops songs, unless they want to be obvious and unoriginal. If they want to be super commercial and, frankly, lazy, then Yeah, they have to pay. Indeed - they don't really need to spend huge amounts of money full stop. The Coens are FAMOUS for being "low budget". Fargo's budget was $7m, in 1996 Millers Crossing was $14m The thing that stands out about all these lower budget films mentioned above...they're better, much better than the typical "Hollywood" big budget, bland, boring, bombastic 6ullshit.
@@greenman6141 Wow... that escalated quickly. I mean that REALLY got out of hand. Good points and informative info, but I don't know who the hell that rant was directed at.🤣
@@mattwardpictures Yes, you're right. I caught this video on the downswing of about a week of heavy duty adversarial argument about other matters, of a more serious nature (systemic family violence, causes of child murders, and other rather grim things). I hadn't yet managed to switch modes. Apologies. Absolutely nothing to do with you. Glad you wrote back, and so kindly. It is good to be called out. Makes it easier to try to improve oneself, or myself, rather. Cheers!
I believe that Malcolm McDowell actually improvised the "Singing in the Rain" bit after Kubrick was dissatisfied with the way the scene was playing and suggested McDowell try singing something to amp up the sociopathic cruelty of the character of Alex casually and lightheartedly committing a horrific violent rape. Apparently "Singing in the Rain" was the first thing that came to mind to which he knew all (or most) of the lyrics. I've also heard Gene Kelly was disgusted by the use of his signature tune in this way and angrily refused to speak to McDowell when the two later met at an event.
Brill!
Thanks Chief! More cool stuff on the way...
cool bud,looking forward to it...u got one oif the best channels here on youtube. Love your stuff
Amazing! thank you very much for sharing this!
Thank you for posting this! (1:18:22 is that an Alan Alda sighting??)
I saw it too!
They left out some of the movie clips, some important examples of the video's subject. I assume this is because of copyright issues. Why? The Coen Brothers agreed to the interview and the clips would encourage people to see the whole movie. Some of these copyright restrictions are ridiculous.
Look here: vimeo.com/80115021 (it's in the "about" section as well).

Alec Baldwin never misses
What's the name of the symphony younger Coen says served as an inspiration for the blood simple opening?
+Jay Jimenez I think its this: Symphony No. 1 (Brahms).
Roses are red Violets are blue Thief is always stealling A Quarter of Century (True Grit) was taken from one of our national song titled, *Kulihat Ibu Pertiwi*
Why does the miller’s crossing song not play on the Video?
Making now good
A pleased Alan Alda at 1:36
First. I want to congratulate the people involve in the making of this video. But the hiss sound is just so annoying it is hard to watch the video without being distracted. I think it would be nice to edit the sound part of the video and upload it again. Thanks
The Coen brothers, along with David Lynch, and a few others revived American film. So inventive! Who else comes to mind? The old guard of Scorsese and Coppola faded into stylised predictable fare.
So a colleague of mine is doing a brain study...
Science does it mean something..
17:26 this hasn’t aged well
It's too bad they didn't take the time to react to the kid's story.
1:11:58 - I'm sorry I wasn't listening....
The neurologist guy's presentations are totally irrelevant. And Ethan is clearly laughing at some of the baffling questions from Baldwin. But any rare chance to hear the Coens talk at length is welcomed.
sometimes the music is to much and too loud!!
Great interview. I love Carter Burwell's music score for Gods and Monsters. Having a drunkard as the host is a bit disappointing though.
Will O You sound confused. You admit it was a great interview yet malign Baldwin as a drunkard. What about his hosting struck you as incapable or disappointing because of his drinking past?
I believe my comment was dumb. Baldwin did not deserve it and it took away from what I should have said. Great interview.
Thank you for asking. I need correction sometimes.
Change Chau. Ya allah.
Why fingernails?

Alec Baldwin showing disrespect to Alex North in the 2001 example from the beginning, as if he had anything to offer that even approached that man’s talent.
I would love to have seen a scientist host this rather than Alec Baldwin. He kind of derails the conversation wenever it starts to get interesting. Still worth watching though.
an eye for an eye is not protestant justice...that is jewish justice,or human justice. protestant just is is loving your enemy, ,,see the problem with people that have no clue what in the bible try to tell others about the bible..smh
