TAR 25: Lee Sanders' Music Podcast!!
maf:
I finally got time to view the podcast and found it fascinating. I would love to hear even more which thoughts and even individual elements which went into the different pieces.
And I couldn't resist chuckling when we talked about the roadblock music being written in 11/8. I recently played Serenade by Derek Bourgeois which starts in 11/8 and after changing around a bit eventually settles in 13/8. And rumour has it he wrote this music for his own wedding. It is not easy to march stately to this piece of music.

Lee, a question about the opening theme!
It seems to me that the arrangement currently being used is the original or something darn close to it as opposed to the arrangement introduced with TAR 13, and kept until the recent change. What's the story on that? (And for the record, I greatly preferred the original to the one used beginning with TAR 13 until recently.)

PODCAST 2 IS UP!! With a contest for you serious music lovers.
In this second episode of the podcast, teams travel to England—where a series of grueling tasks awaits (as usual!).
Lee talks about re-using cues from previous shows, as well as deconstructing iconic English melodies to create a tension cue for the episode. Can you decode the musical 'quotations'?

In Cycle 3, Episode 8, teams are in Zürich, where they have to run around town to find a bunch of numbers, then assemble those numbers to arrive at the combination to a safe (inside which lies their next clue). A big, active sequence that took up an entire act of the show (nine minutes or so).

I just saw that episode! What a coincidence and also the subsequent leg when JVJ and Jon and Al were racing to avoid last place. Really good and appropriate music!!!
I have a question for you though (a rather selfish one) :funny: ... have you worked on any music for the asian leg(s) [not saying which just in case it is a spoiler] visited this season and if not, will you be deconstructing some local music to create possible appropriate music for different various scenarios?

It's a good question. John Keane composed the Main Title theme and several of the episodes on the first cycle before moving on to score CSI; I do know that he was specifically asked to do the new arrangement for Cycle 13. I'm guessing the new version is yet another update (that incorporates some of the elements from the older version), but I'm not sure.
