the machine age ? a beautiful mind ? - james horner

[ratchet5]

Heh. James Horner seems to like to recycle his stuff a lot, the A Beautiul Mind theme sounds exactly like one of his themes in 'Field of Dreams'

[FrankzTerz]

That was amazing! brings back all the memories from the great movie! ^-^

Could you make a tutorial for this video please :))!??

[dpostuk]

3 people spotted 4 mistakes, which makes it a grand total of four people, but very good attempt :-)

[luquenow]

Percebe-se que pelo seu nervosismo vc ainda consegue tocar a melodia muito bem, parabêns,.

[Jan1cee]

Yes... there are many similarities between both movie soundtracks. I love both of them. I like that you unit both and make an only soundtrack =)

[perfection5712]

my god you are a real dick arnt you , who gives a flying fuck !!! horner is fucking amazing !! when a score is that good why wouldnt u repeat it !! DICK

[sacon05]

LOL. OK, but the fact is that he should at least change a few notes so that the scores don't sound THE FUCKIN SAME!

Dont get me wrong, I love some of Horner's scores, really! But he crosses the line of self plagiarism sometimes. Anyways, live and let live. Cheers. PS: DICK! LOL

[caudeerzik]

[Linux442]

@jeremyfrancis

Do you think you could take of your time to make a tutorial of this (for beginners) ?

If you have not the time, can you try till 1: 17.

Thanks in advance

[kukiliniflor]

en mi opinión es exactamente la misma bso. sólo ha cambiado el tempo y poco más. es un fraude por su parte. tienes suficiente talento como para no copiarse...

[genzoman]

Tienes que tomar las cosas en contexto. Horner tiene fama de compositor "parche", es decir que puede hacer cosas en menos tiempo. troya fue compuesta y grabada en 2 semanas, aliens en dos semanas.

por mi parte, me gusta que se extienda sobre temas anteriores, me permite disfrutar del tema desde otro angulo.

Es un narrador excelente en cuanto a tiempos, texturas y atmosferas, mucho menos planos que otros que abusan de la fanfarria como williams o zimmer, que ojo, tambien se repiten.

[kukiliniflor]

las cosas en contexto? el tiempo no es para los genios... ni tampoco para los negados. yo tengo los cd´s originales de todas sus bso, que te quede claro. ahora bien, sigo pensando que le sobra talento como para terminar siendo el reflejo de jarabe de palo...

[GlowEuh]

James Horner is DEFINITELY my favorite composer. He makes such beautiful music. You are amazing! I wish i could play that well.

[fbk14]

has anyone ever thought that maybe james horner copies his ideas because he was under a time limit and he only used that idea once in bicentenial man... give him a break... hanz zimmer coppies himself more than horner... it's just a style of music, u dont hear anyone saying that bach or mozart copied themselves...it's the same thing. i think it's really cleaver the way he does change this tune into beautiful mind.

great pianoing by the way, do u have the music? xxx

[UFOSPACE1999]

All i know that James CRAP Horner can't tell the difference. He steals so much from himself. I wished he could actually compose music, it would be neat. OR is it CRAPTANIC.

[jeremyfrancis]

explain to me how one steals from what one already owns?

do you steal your own house because you sleep in it day in and day out? what have YOU done that SOOO damn creative and original. Make the same argument that so many people have already made about James Horner?

[UFOSPACE1999]

U r so wrong. IF James Horner composes music for Bicenntial Man, For Chris Columbus, THen Jame Horner Composes music for Ron Howard's A Beautiful Mind and the MAIN THEME sounds so much alike, HEY to all those WHO don't know Horner is his own ripoff artist. GET Star Trek2 when Spock is saving the enterprise in the room. There is a section of music that horner composed and when he composed Cocoon when the boy jumps out the boat and the old people move on, NOTE FOR NOTE the same. THE SAME MUSIC!!!

[jeremyfrancis]

sorry you've wasted your money on his scores and your time watching this video. even Horner's fans know he reuses themes and motifs. in fact, i could name off A LOT of times he reuses music... but i enjoy his music.

people are too damn picky these days. just because you have to tolerate something doesn't mean you have to accept it. if you're so fixed on proving Horner is a cheap composer, please, by all means, make your own film music that is so much better.

[thejaybeez]

You've stated your case, but really I see nothing wrong with recycling musical material, especially in a film scoring context. When you score a film, the same music can have an infinite variety of meanings depending on what is happening in the film.

[thejaybeez]

UFOSPACE1999... There are people who create things and people who criticize those who create. What side do you want to be on? If you take a minute to shut up and make something you might find it much more enjoyable than criticizing someone else's work.

[jjho8]

I agree.

[crm1230]

very nice- wonderful sound for dreaming!

[dkphoenixfever]

WOWZERS!!!!!!!!!

[jiminimonka]

I dont know music on paper but Beautiful Mind & Bicentennial Man theme are the same song, just slight changes

[ryangfilm]

D# and G# are used in this song, correct?

[ryangfilm]

the machine age, i mean.

[jeremyfrancis]

yes they are... I'll post up the chord progression sometime...

[ryangfilm]

cool, thank you.... i'll start practicing....

[00nach000]

oh my good its a beauthifull theme

[bmused55]

hey, thats not crappy at all! Its actually quite good! 5 stars for effort

[rustedgod]

Dude,you're good to be playing by ear,keep it up mate,A Kaleidoscope of mathematics is an awesome track

[JBrikiatis]

CRAPPY SOUNDING?????? This is amazing....

[SirPsychoSexy32]

Oh man.Fascinate..There is many mistakes but that´s alright...Man Im playing soundtrack from BM named "First Drop Off" on el. guitar...Its nice too...Let´s try it on piano man.

[jjho8]

What kind of keyboard do you use, and how much does it cost? Great Job!  I love James Horner.

[windogmassey1]

thats a DGX 505. I have one too, great piece of kit. They are around £500.

[butnut11]

Actually thats a 305 model. I have that one.

[dubster1000]

kl playing! do u have piano sheets?

[jeremyfrancis]

sorry... no sheets! thx tho!

[dubster1000]

amazing! thats not bad! do u have piano sheets by any chance?

[ryansandytrey]

james newton howard 25 dollars worth...plaseeeeeeee

[ryansandytrey]

nakarat insanı kendinden geçiriyor...james horner beautiful...

[jeremyfrancis]

There is a lot more dynamic in Kaleidoscope than there is in Machine. The strings also have a lot more involvement in Kaleidoscope that is nearly impossible to replicate playing solo.

It is whatever your mind tells you... and the end is definitely the theme for Beautiful Mind.

[Gamefreak718]

Crappily played my *INSERT A WORD HERE*

6/1

[sadbutterfly808]

~~~WONDERFUL!!!~~~ 5 stars from me! do you have the piano sheets?

[ryangfilm]

Jeremy actually plays by ear..... pretty good, eh?

[ryansandytrey]

mp3 to contıdion bring.....aresss....

[jammyham]

wow i have to learn this!! thats really good...is there piano sheets for this by any chance?

[romymistique]

Wow!!! Amzing performance!! Very emotive! Dude if that's crappy then I lost the meaning!! My dream is to play that song one of these days. Very outstanding, beautiful

[Gabebro1]

James Horner wrote the score for both movies, hence the similarities.

But it does sound more like A Beautiful Mind's, "A Kaleidoscope of Mathematics than Bicentennial Man.

[elpresidio]

This is from "A Beautiful Mind" and the name of the piece is called "A Kaleidoscope of Mathematics." It's heard at the beginning of the movie.

[elpresidio]

Just type the title of the piece into YouTube search field. The whole piece is on YouTube from the soundtrack.

[Coreyferg]

wait I'm confused. I thought this song was from a beautiful mind, its from bicentennial man?

[slimjim4911]

It basically is, haha. But, it is "The Machine Age" from Bicentennial Man and quite easily it slips into "A Kaleidoscope of Mathematics" from A Beautiful Mind. They are pretty much just variations on the same theme. A stigma has developed around Horner and his remarkably similar works. Therefore, there are two camps. One of Horner detractors and one of Horner acolytes. Personally, I love it when he does it.

[slimjim4911]

Sorry. It's not "A Kaleidoscope of Mathematics". It's just the main theme of A Beautiful Mind.

[Coreyferg]

slower than the actual version but definately not crappy, pretty amazing man

[Tenebraeus]

A CRAPPY version? Dude, this is phenomenal!

[ryansandytrey]

very nice..!!!!...thanks...

[imposer]

WOW GREAT, where did you get the sheet?

[167tyler]

Man thats cool good job. Ive always liked that song, what is the name of it?

[tyrriansaiyel]

Very good job. Awesome song. Keep it up.

[ryangfilm]

I thought this was awesome! I couldn't remember which movie I've heard it from - I think it's from Bicentennial Man - is that right? Oh, by the way, 5 stars.

[ryangfilm]

Nevermind. I just read the description. I had a blonde moment (no offense blonde people - you all rock).
