. Wes and I have immense respect for not only Jerry's groundbreaking score but also for the work accomplished by Matt and Michael. Their influence resonated throughout the entire scoring process. However, Kingdom is distinctly different from Rise, Dawn, and War.

Haha, just a little joke: Often, we’d have to write a cue multiple times. Most sequences come in “pre-VFX,” so we write the cue and it would feel great. A week later, the VFX come in, and the cue would have to be reimagined. Hence two scores for one film!! Honestly it’s a

@Proximus68
Here is the short answer! Depending on vision, it's often necessary to create multiple versions of the score for several reasons. Initially, when scenes are still in their pre-VFX state, the music needs to work harder to sell the sequence and convey the intended emotions and

"Memories of Home" is the original suite that was given to Wes in 2022. It later evolved into our Eagle Clan Theme, featured in the tracks "Eagle Clan," and in a more heroic rendition, "Ape Aquatics.", Its used throughout to represent Eagle Clan. Glad you enjoy!
KINGDOM OF THE PLANET OF THE APES Composer John Paesano Brings A New Sound With His Latest Score And Pays Homage To Jerry Goldsmith’s Iconic Music From The 1968 Movie -
@EGoldenthal
Thrilled to see this! Elliot truly embodies the spirit of a composer's composer. His outstanding work, much like John Williams', masterfully reveals the secret of crafting rich, intricate, technical scores that remain wonderfully accessible to the audience.
#KingdomOfThePlanetOfTheApes
composer John Paesano created a score that's subtle yet suitably epic when necessary. He even took inspiration from a study by Emory University on how primates relate to music.

Disappointed by the fading tradition of releasing music on physical media. As a CD collector, the shift to digital-only soundtracks is disheartening. Holding a CD, admiring artwork—it's irreplaceable. Physical releases also spotlight the incredible teams behind scores, especially

Can’t fully remember
@Proximus68
why the edit happened, but most likely just a creative choice to keep portion of scene dry, lots of music editorial decisions are made on final mix, could get very dangerous if composers made those decisions! ;) who needs dialogue anyway, right?

@BBCRadio3
Which part? The "serial score", or the idea of having no "score reviews", lol. Great anecdote!! Love it! That score is amazing, I tried to play with that tone row, and my head almost blew up. I was like, let me stick with this percussion idea instead!!
#ThereIsOnlyOneGoldsmith
@Proximus68
Once I turn in that score, lots of reshaping happens on the final mix. When dialog, SFX, foley, etc., make their way into the film, decisions need to be made that support the overall narrative vision. I tried to convince Wes that he didn't need the dialog or SFX, but he didn't go
