JOHN WILLIAMS – GALAXY’s EDGE THEME

Hello there!

Again a very small contribution, to give back as much as I can.

The new piece composed by Williams for Galaxy’s Edge (the upcoming Star Wars Theme Land at Disneyland). Directed by William Ross and performed by the LSO.

And as a bonus, Williams version for Across the Star for violinist Sophie Anne Mutter.

Hope you enjoy it!

Thank You !

Thanks a lot!!!

Thanks, mortegae, for the cool theme and the cool set of bonuses.

Thank you

Great.to hear sweet "han and.princess" without her father theme.

Thanks for sharing.

Many Thanks!

Thanks!

Thank you!!

Thanks. Eager to ear the piece with Mutter. "Ich bin deine Mutter" ;).

Thank you. How did you managed to get the lossless version of most tracks ? Feel free to pm me if it’s confidential.

Thanks so much for sharing, hopefully the quality is an improvement over my Youtube rip.

Thank you very much.

Thanks a lot! :awsm:

Gracias Miguel

The "Across the Stars" track does not open. It’s labelled as Ogg Vorbis but my audio editing program doesn’t recognize it as such.

Thanks!

Is it lossless? I checked the spectrum and it wasn’t…

Thank you 😀

No it is not. Unfortunately the source is YouTube, but I have tried to improve the sound normalizing and audio compressing.
Wish I had a better source…
I have saved them as .wav to avoid further compression artifacs.
Regarding OGG, you can play it with several players, such as VLC.

Fine share. Thanks for your work.

Thank you for the link!

The "Across the Stars" track does not open. It’s labelled as Ogg Vorbis but my audio editing program doesn’t recognize it as such.

The file browser may have assigned "ogg/Vorbis" to the .ogg extension, but in this case it is "ogg/Opus", so the player or system need the Opus codec (http://opus-codec.org/). Its strength is the encoding of speech audio but it’s good for listening music too. As mortegae said, VLC shoud be fine. (*)

As for the compression artifacts, we don’t need to worry: we won’t get any by using lossless codecs, since, by definition, they store a perfect copy of the original sound, like .zip files do with files. Their compression options are useful just to get smaller or bigger files, requiring different work from the processor (but FLAC is designed to put the burden on compression and give fast decompression, so there should be no practical difference when playing), so the soundcard will receive identical audio streams from the source, the bigger and the smaller encodings. Apart from the advantage of size, FLAC is better at integrity checks and the metadata handling is more standarized, but sound-wise it’s interchangeable with .wav or raw audio.

Thanks for sharing and caring. 🙂

* Edit: OK, the problem was the editing software doesn’t support Opus. If a newer version still fails, you can dump the audio to .wav or other lossless format and edit that. For example, the command-line program ffmpeg will do it with the default values:

> ffmpeg.exe -i myOpus.ogg myLossless.wav

The following with produce identical output, a .wav with the same 48 kHz as the source, and 16 bit:

> ffmpeg-exe -i myOpus.ogg -ar 48000 -acodec pcm_s16le myLossless.wav

Very cool- thanks for these!

NICE!!!!!

Thanks for the upload mate!
