Here are
some quotes by Sir Richard Rodney Bennett on BILLION DOLLAR
BRAIN during an interview at his Manhattan residence on December
17, 2001.
The complete profile and
interview appeared in FILM SCOREMONTHLY.
"The main titles of
BILLION DOLLAR BRAIN are of computer printouts about
Harry Palmer. So you saw all these machine like happenings. I
had recently seen Labaie des anges (BAY OF ANGELS) scored by
Michel Legrand which is about gambling.He used a lot of piano
keyboarding sounds, and so I did steal that idea, so the title
music is three grand pianos playing in front of an orchestra. I
did not use any instruments that sounded sympathetic like
strings or flutes. I used alot of percussion, brass, and pianos,
and this extraordinary French electronic instrument called a
ondes martenot. It was a coloristic decision. I did not know
John Barry's score, and BILLION DOLLAR BRAIN was kind of fun in
that kind of way. You often get a cue for a film from a)
something from in the film itself,and b) from somebody else's
score..."

Bullet to Beijing
(1995)/ Midnight in St.Petersburg (1995)
by Rick Wakeman
CD Filmtracks
Records Ltd. - never released
End credits mention
the existence of a soundtrack for Bullet To Beijing on CD(?), but
this soundtrack has never been released. For both movies LMH Ltd.
has the soundtrack rights.
|
This info
about the soundtracks of Bullet and Midnight can be found on a
site about Rick Wakeman (Rick
Wakeman's Communications Centre).
Most interesting stuff about making the soundtracks for Bullet
and Midnight can be read below:
"What an amazing five months!
It's almost impossible to know where to start, but we'll do our
best.. Firstly the Michael Caine films. All the music was
finally delivered in early April and "Bullet to Beijing" was
premiered at the film festival in Cannes in May. This is due for
major cinematic release a little later this year. The other
film, which was made for television and entitled "Midnight in St
Petersburg", has yet to be given a viewing spot although it is
unlikely that it will be shown until at least three months after
"Bullet to Beijing " has been shown.
Producing the music was not
without it's difficulties and much was written before it was
delivered to the satisfaction of the producers and directors.
This is not an uncommon situation although there was a stage
during the recording when Rick and Stuart were considering never
to go to the cinema again! The final outcome was very pleasing
though and Rick is very pleased with the music. His only regret
is that he never got to meet Michael Caine!After all the
keyboards and percussion were recorded in Rick's studio, the
tapes were taken to CTS Studios in Wembley where a string
section was added with arrangements done by Les Williams around
Rick's original score. There has been talk of a soundtrack album
to accompany the films but as yet nothing has been firmed up.
