Ep. 57: Michael Nyman (Composer Profile) | The Lost Film Score
Description
Michael Nyman is an English "Minimalist" composer who was hired to compose the score for the film Practical Magic. However, just before the film's release in theaters his score was ultimately scrapped and replaced by the score as we now know it by Alan Silvestri. The original pressings of the Warner's soundtrack CD featured two cues from Nyman's rejected score. When he was replaced by Alan Silvestri, the soundtrack was re-pressed and Nyman's cues were replaced by two (shorter) Silvestri cues.
In today's episode, The Stinas not only discuss this composition kerfuffle, they also deep dive on the successes and failures of the veteran composer, whose work has seemingly gone severely under-appreciated in the American film market.
In an amazing twist of fate, one of Nyman's rejected cues from the Practical Magic film resulted in a magical collaboration with an indie artist, that gave new life & meaning to the once disregarded composition!
With this episode, we hope to shine a spotlight on the life and career of Michael Nyman. So join us as we marvel at his amazing accomplishments and accolades, reinforcing the notion that our failures do not define us!
