2024: June 16: PICTURES AT AN
EXHIBITION While the film related news
have been rather sparse recently - except for THE KILLER score
finally being recorded a couple weeks ago, Marco Beltrami
recently participated ín PICTURES IN EXHIBITION concert
celebrating the works of artist Bob Peak. While the first half
of the concert presented original scores from various projects
Bob Peak provided his spectacular posters for (Star Trek: The
Motion Picture, West Side Story, Apocalypse Now and many
more), the second half consisted of newly commissioned pieces
from 10 composers. Each of the composers was given a
painting as an inspiration to compose a brand new piece (check
this interview with Mychael Danna where
he discussed the project and his work based on painting of
Mother Teresa). Marco's 5-minute piece was inspired by 1983
The Spirit of Sport - Special Olympics painting (check
the May 20 post). The premiere took place on June 14th and
Disney Concert Hall with legendary Leonard Slatkin leading the
L.A. Film Orchestra. All ten new
pieces are also being recoded and release is in the
works. In the meantime, you can check the first clip from
Marco Beltrami's amazing piece on his Instagram.
2024: June 05: :-( Thanks to the copyright related blackmail
regarding one ancient low resolution photo (350 EUR), some of
the pages will be temporarily unavailable and while the
website will have to suffer removal of a ton of content, there
is nothing else I can do to avoid going through this
unfortunate nightmare all over again. Since its launch, this
website hasn¨t generated a single penny, yet it is entirely a
labour of love and has cost a lot of money for the domain name
and hosting. While I am happy for anyone who has visited over
the years, if anyone would be willing to return a favor and
help to deal with this (every bit counts), please, don't
hesitate to contact me
(just in case my paypal id is the same). Thanks everyone for
their consideration...
2024: May 20: PICTURES AT AN
EXHIBITION details More details have been revealed regarding
upcoming PICTURES AT AN EXHIBITION project. Marco Beltrami
will be composing his movement "based" on Bob Peak's painting

2024: May 14: THE KILLER recording
sessions The score for John Woo's THE KILLER was
recorded last week in London at Abbey Road Studio 2. Check
Marco's instagram
for the first clip from the score and a few photos. Here is an
excerpt from Marco's description: "An
unusually romantic and fun way to score bloody action scenes
that look almost like ballet!" So far no release date has been
confirmed.
2024: April 24: New 10-movement
concert work with 10 composers Marco Beltrami is one of ten composers
contributing a movement for upcoming concert tribute
to Bob Peak - PICTURES AT AN EXHIBITION. Here is an
excerpt from the announcement
from Robert Townson: "I have countless favorite classical
pieces, but one of my favorites has always been Mussorgsky’s
Pictures at an Exhibition. But much as I loved Mussorgsky’s
original piece, my idea was to create a new Pictures at an
Exhibition for a new age. To have all new music composed and
have the inspiration for all the new music be the paintings of
Bob Peak. Not his film paintings. They already have music
attached to them. His other artwork. He did almost everything.
New York World’s Fair 1964, 100th Anniversary of New York’s
Brooklyn Bridge, he painted portraits of Mother Teresa, John
Kennedy, Anwar Sadat, The Band that were featured on 45
different Time Magazine covers! He did paintings for The
Olympics and the Special Olympics. For the United Nations and
for the Academy of Motion Pictures arts and Sciences. He
painted cars, and beautiful women and couples, and the
American West. He did so much work, it could inspire 50
different versions of Pictures at an Exhibition. For 25 years
it was a dream." The other
composers involved are: Michael Abels, Jeff Beal, Bill Conti,
Mychael Danna, Ihab Darwish, Don Davis, Harry
Gregson-Williams, Maria Newman and Marc Shaiman. Leonard
Slatkin will conduct the world premiere on June 14th. For more
information and to secure your ticket, visit Music Center's website.
