Could it be that it was a scam/fake FYC soundtrack?

We know when we have the files from the disc in a wav or flac container. We can compare them with the webrip to make sure they are from different sources or the same source... but the cover art looks real to me. Are the discs pressed or burned?

whos fault is that if all the FYC disc are like that? And who makes these FYC discs and gives to specific people?

:(

That's either Paramount or Warner Bros. The film is a co=production between the two. The FYC discs are given out to Academy members

Is the quality slightly better than the web files?

In this case, Warner-Olive produce the discs with some help from ASCAP. The studios then distribute it.

so not the same company that makes OSTs of this film? Why they have lossy tracks in the first place? I mean this is complete bulls***, makes nosense to me.

The Academy members are not really keen listeners when it comes to supreme audio quality, all they require is to listen/have access to a basic version of the music that they can then base their judgements on. They would'nt even know what the difference is between lossy and lossless and they don't need to know.

This pretty much confirms that 4m49c and 4m49d from Age of Extinction will be absent from the disc. FANFUCKINGTASTIC

yes

Also forgot to mention that after scrutinizing the NTFC film audio, it I discovered that there's no "high strings" stem at all in the mix, whereas all official releases of the track include the higher pitched strings. In the FYC release, if we could remove that string stem, you would be able to hear the organ clearly but the new strings are basically drowning it out.

I don't think the organ stems in the FYC version are like the ones in the film. The film version has a ritcher organ part that starts from the beginning.

It's 100% the same stem/sound, just mixed differently. At the beginning of the FYC mix, the organ is turned way down, and over time it gets louder.
There's also a bass/low-end organ stem that is louder in the film mix but is turned way down for the other versions.

As far as it sounding "rich", you won't be able to tell in detail unless it was turned up to the volume levels they had it up to in the film version.

Maybe you're right. Yes, I know it's turned down in the beginning, but I'd still say it's ~85% the same stem :p

I know it's my opinion.

Damn, sorry to hear that Lockdown.

BTW it's Paramount managing the FYC campaign. Warner are doing only BAFTAs/Globes.

Paramount doesn't like to do anything right the first time.

They have a horrible repertoire when it comes to blurays (Gladiator...)
Paramount Has a Blu-ray Problem (http://www.thedigitalbits.com/columns/my-two-cents/082813_1415)

Well both discs are lossy sourced, every single track cuts off at 16Khz, and Quantifiable Connection is still corrupt. Is it even still worth uploading?

http://i.imgur.com/TyG3tbF.gif

Sorry about this, Lockdown. I don't suppose there's any way to get refunded? I wish we could know for sure wtf is up with Quantifiable Connection. You'd think if they were going to submit it for the Oscars, they'd triple check the whole thing and avoid insane errors like this.

Unless it's a massive troll, and this is their revenge for all the "mixing" complaints people had about the movie.

Oh no :(
Well, I feel bad you spent all that money. I wonder if the Seller created a fake FYC?

FYC interstellar CDs sell for over $250 a copy on EBay.
If I were one of the people making living by selling fake complete score CDs on EBay, I would try to make a fake FYC interstellar copy with mp3 files obtained from this forum and sell it.

How is it fake? There is 5 different one's exactly like mine listed on eBay right now, plus I know some Academy Members who have this, it's real.

Someone...someone make it better. Please. :(

Can't.
The damage done to the track is severe.

The only way to make it better and sound better is to break into MVC/RC and steal that single, only track.

But for that, we'll need an Oceans 14.

I'm near LA, I volunteer to break into the studio. This is unacceptable!

What is the estimated bitrate as per spectral analysis?

What is the estimated bitrate as per spectral analysis?

You can't know that just looking at spectrals.
No software can really do that.

Sure, maybe with really old, outdated, limited MP3 encoders and other lossy encoders, maybe.

But spectrals are only useful in seeing if anything's capped or contains artefacts.

Most articles on spectral analysis are really old now.
Especially, considering that LAME MP3 and other lossy codecs have advanced far from the Stone Age.

Estimating bitrate is useless for this release (FYC flossy).

I've actually been in the studios before. I went to the Star Trek: Voyager set when I was 15, and to the first Trek reboot a couple years ago. I'm not sure a single guy outfront with a sign protesting the FYC Interstellar score would garner much attention from the inside. That'd be par for the course for the standard crazy in LA county.

first Trek reboot

The 2009 JJ Abrams?


a couple years ago

That was more than a "couple" years ago.
That's more like a "few" years ago if you want to be generous.

Or do you mean the Into Darkness sequel to the 2009 reboot? :erm:
Which would be a "couple" years ago.

Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere but I thought you guys would be interested in this. DP/30's interview with Hans on "Interstellar". In it he states there were 45 sessions! It's very fascinating.

Christopher Nolan's 'Interstellar' Returns To IMAX This Weekend With 12 Minutes Of New Footage (http://www.imdb.com/news/ni58297529/)

This is probably more or less the general Interstellar thread it seems so I'll drop this here. I can't believe this is happening: they're doing an Interstellar L2P this March!!!!!!!!!!! :O


2014's ground-breaking sci-fi epic Interstellar will be brought to life by a live orchestra in a special gala screening at the Royal Albert Hall.

Interstellar Live will see the Christopher Nolan film shown on the big screen, whilst composer Hans Zimmer leads a 60-piece orchestra and the Hall's Grand Organ in a simultaneous performance of the movie's Academy Award and BAFTA nominated score.

The evening will be introduced by Sir Michael Caine, who played Professor John Brand in the film, and will also see a pre-performance conversation between executive producer and theoretical physicist Kip Thorne and director Christopher Nolan on the art, music and science behind Interstellar.

This live in concert performance will let fans experience the film like never before, with the full might of an orchestra and 9,999 pipes of the Hall’s Grand Organ creating the ultimate filmic experience in London’s most iconic venue.


Interstellar Live - Royal Albert Hall (http://www.royalalberthall.com/tickets/interstellar/default.aspx)

Tix already booked, so super excited. Loved the Star Trek/Into Darkness and Godfather L2P, I can't imagine how insane this will be especially with the grand organ!

Is it sold out already? I can't find a row which is still available, except the expensive stalls of �173.40

Tickets booked... Seats are near identical to the location in this video.

Poor little DAK, it was -25 degrees this morning..

Not only do I work in NY (with the aforementioned negative degree weather) but I also work in a bloody refrigerated room! Man does it get cold!!! :)

For my dad's birthday me and him went to London to the Hans Zimmer Revealed Concert At The Apollo in October; and then straight after that, rather than stay at a hotel we caught the tube straight over to the BFI IMAX and watched the Dark Knight Trilogy from midnight through till 9am before catching the train back to Oxford.

Twas a damn good night; and now I'm tempted by this, but I don't think I can get the following day off work. =[

Sounds to me like some really nice quality father-child (son? daughter?) time

Guys... will there be a official recording of this concert? like bluray? :)

Guys... will there be a official recording of this concert? like bluray? :)

I doubt it. It's a screening of the film itself, the only difference being that the music is stripped from the sound mix and it's played live by the orchestra and a giant fuck-off organ. There would still be dialogue/SFX.
The 20th Anniversary Ultimate Edition DVD of E.T. (http://www.amazon.com/E-T-Extra-Terrestrial-Ultimate-Gift-Boxed/dp/B000069AT7) had a separate/alternate audio track with live audio from the Shrine Auditorium Anniversary Premiere (conducted by John WIlliams). It's an interesting listen, and you can hear the laughter of the audience at times during the live audio capture.

Stay and No Time For Caution will probably literally be insane.

The audience reaction to Shtip to Ship from STID was quite something....this will be too epic to not witness, especially with the "fuck off" 9999-pipe organ:
http://www.cse.cuhk.edu.hk/~phwl/mt/public/archives/photos/covgdnwalthrah011105/original/13Royal%20Albert%20Hall%20Organ.jpg

Also it's going to be a lot of the same musicians who performed at the recording sessions anyway I believe, so that's a plus too :)

RCP need to pull their finger out and release the London concert from October last year.

Just that one bass note from Batman - Main Title at the Danny Elfman concert got me thinking how good Interstellar would sound here. My go-to bootleg device (iPhone) simply couldn't capture it though.

Thanks for rubbing it in our faces guys. :)

Still working on Quantifiable Connection, here is a half finished version (https://mega.co.nz/#!k5QAEb7L!KzJ24klPRcuw87nXFrcvvq0W8A-md7vitQLAeeN0dcE)
Repaired from the beginning to 2:12, a few odd bits to fix between 1:50 and 2:00 which can be easily done when the bluray comes out.
Partially fixed between 2:12 and 2:34, hopefully some usable bits from the bluray too.
Onwards from there is fine except the transition around 3:03, i'm going to redo the end anyway.

You do know that Tyler (the master who's given us the End Credits, all those No Time for Caution film mix updates, and all of those awesome suites) already fixed this, right?

You do know that Tyler (the master who's given us the End Credits, all those No Time for Caution film mix updates, and all of those awesome suites) already fixed this, right?
His version partially used the original fixed version which sounds terrible. This is repaired completely from scratch, plus using bits from the screener to make it exact to the original. His version is quite different from the original

I could swear he used the original, but maybe I'm wrong

Yeah I used /some/ of that shitty repaired version, but not much of it, because that was the only source available to me at the time, the rest was from the screener and cornfield chase where there was heavy sfx.

If people can create a better source to work from by all means post them

The vinyl tracklist (http://www.musiconvinyl.com/catalog/original-soundtrack/interstellar#.VOpzVYaQGJJ) is VERY promising. Especially considering Music on Vinyl's track record (no pun intended) is to release the standard OST in many cases.

I'm happy "Tick-Tock" is there but one of my favourite tracks; "Coward" is missing along with 'Imperfect Lock' and "Mountains" :-( ...actually in retrospect there's a lot missing, but hopefully it's a semi-decent pressing.

SIDE A

1. DREAMING OF THE CRASH
2. CORNFIELD CHASE
3. DUST
4. DAY ONE
5. MESSAGE FROM HOME

SIDE B

1. STAY
2. THE WORMHOLE
3. AFRAID OF TIME
4. A PLACE AMONG THE STARS
5. NO TIME FOR CAUTION

SIDE C

1. MURPH
2. DETACH

SIDE D

1. RUNNING OUT
2. TICK-TOCK
3. WHERE WE'RE GOING
4. DO NOT GO GENTLE INTO THAT GOOD NIGHT (Meh!)

I'm happy "Tick-Tock" is there but one of my favourite tracks; "Coward" is missing

I could do without Tick-Tock, but Coward is also one of my favorite tracks. There should be a public execution of whoever made the decision to leave it off, yet include Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night. Seriously who the fuck wants that track? But I'm happy Murph is on there. Ohh, so happy.

Where We're Going is the best track in my opinion. Glad it's on there, not glad it's an import. Not glad it doesn't have Quantifiable Connection. Not glad that they are standard black vinyls. Oh well. But, I am happy about it's release, it would've been a shame if it didn't happen.

Not glad that they are standard black vinyls.

They're 'Black Hole' variants

They're 'Black Hole' variants
I only heard they were making standard ones.

I had been dreaming of what variants they would make, if any. Wormhole, Spacedust, Atmospheric....you name it. Coulda done Black with White seckles or something (to represent the stars in space) or some kind of swirl (for the wormhole), idk. They coulda done better than standard Black. I'm so used to colored vinyl now, that I've become jaded. I would say more than half of my record collection is colored vinyl. But like Lockdown said, at least it's coming. Only a few more weeks....

I only heard they were making standard ones.

That's true...it also an unlimited release so the chance of a coloured variant is unlikely.

Would be amazing if they announced a 10" for record store day with the missing tracks

Would be amazing if they announced a 10" for record store day with the missing tracks

That would be awesome. I'm gonna try and get Fury and The Lego Movie

Whiplash is also on RSD (Loved it)

Meh, I don't really need that. There's nothing exclusive about it. Fury is a 10" with a die-cut jacket. The Lego Movie is a picture disc, also a die-cut jacket.

OMG! Die-Cut Jackets and Picture Discs. I love it when you talk vinyl. :)

Now here's what I don't understand, what moron decided that 'Do Not Go Gentle Into That Goddamn Night' needed to be an already cramped vinyl release? I mean, it's not music, it's a recitation and not the best one I might add. Oh Caine, why'd you have to go and die before finishing that. There's this Cinema Space tribute video on vimeo that has a kick-ass version by Anthony Hopkins, which is mind-blowingly better than anything on this one. I mean, if Nolan loved it so much(his biggest addition to the script I think), which he did considering the ungodly times that poem was in the movie, I thought there'd be no credits just another reciition and then I leave the theatre and lookup the soundtrack and lo and behold there it is, at least let us have someone decent saying the lines and let Hans put at least like a basic tune behind it.

Hans Zimmer is my idol

Thank you kind sir!

So digital blu-ray quality is out. Can we expect a proper No time for caution (film version) rip? :)

Somebody hit up Tyler and let him know there's work to be done ;)

Yep full Interstellar bluray is already out. One disc full bluray imax version only the film not the extras (yet) At least we have the lossless dts hd master 5.1 source now... So Im waiting for the 5.1 flac lossless end credits and other things like Quantifiable Connection, proper docking scene track and so on

Great score. Thanks!

I've asked Sparktank to work his magic, hopefully we can get a semi clean organ / vocal stem that I can merge with the FYC CD source of NTFC.

For those that are in the US and can't fly over for the L2P - there will be a special event screening:


Fathom Events and Paramount are excited to present Beyond the World of Interstellar. Fans will Experience Christopher Nolan�s cinematic masterpiece Interstellar like never before with all-new exclusive footage. The night will include Red Carpet shots, as the stars gather for the gala screening of Interstellar Live at the Royal Albert Hall in London, a special Q&A with Director Christopher Nolan, world-renowned physicist Kip Thorne and composer Hans Zimmer as they discuss the art, science and music behind Interstellar, and exclusive access to rehearsals with Academy Award-winning composer Hans Zimmer as he prepares for the Interstellar Live screening. The event will be one night only on Tuesday, April 7th, 2015.
https://www.amctheatres.com/movies/beyond-the-world-of-interstellar

I assume this will have the score track replaced with a recording of the live performance from London. Won't be just AMC hosting the screenings as it's also up on some other independent theatre sites and Fandango. Tickets on sale soon.

Also this makes me more excited for the L2P as I wonder which other stars may be in attendance...

QC is mostly good except for some wind sounds and the strings and some organ parts are louder in the centre channel, so will have to match the eq with the side channels or work around it.
NTFC is mostly good except for a little SFX, no voice as its always in centre.

Hey guys, brief question as I tried to follow the discussion about different ways approaching the original soundtrack, the academy fyc and now the upcoming BluRay rip:
What exactly are we achieving by using all those different sources other than the "official" soundtrack that was released on CD? From what I picked up in the discussion, stuff like the volume of different instruments is not like it was mixed in the movie? :)

Flight Crash with Interstellar Docking Scene Score (https://youtu.be/2iOk2ME1LRY)

Split the audio into all 6 channels last night (thanks Sparktank), and I've been working on getting the organ part as isolated as possible. I've started to weave in between each channel throughout the duration of the stem to navigate around as much SFX as possible. Thankfully dialogue is limited to being only in the center channel, and I used the center channel as much as possible when there's no talking or intrusive SFX. Here's a first rough cut for those looking for some progress on the edit. I also made the beginning organ (first 1/3rd of the track) much louder (like in the film after cooper says "Docking"), it ramps up at a much higher volume. (using the FLAC source from the illuminated edition for that part)

https://soundcloud.com/yourfavoratemusic/no-time-for-caution-bluray-source-first-pass-minor-sfx

There's more work to be done, but some of you might want an early cut.

Magnificent. Thanks! Can't wait for the rest.

Split the audio into all 6 channels last night (thanks Sparktank), and I've been working on getting the organ part as isolated as possible. I've started to weave in between each channel throughout the duration of the stem to navigate around as much SFX as possible. Thankfully dialogue is limited to being only in the center channel, and I used the center channel as much as possible when there's no talking or intrusive SFX. Here's a first rough cut for those looking for some progress on the edit. I also made the beginning organ (first 1/3rd of the track) much louder (like in the film after cooper says "Docking"), it ramps up at a much higher volume. (using the FLAC source from the illuminated edition for that part)

There's more work to be done, but some of you might want an early cut.

I cannot freaking wait for the last, final, film mix that will possibly not be final until the final final is done. Looking forward to it a lot!!

I've finished the second pass.

Changes:
2:36 - 3:23
1. New organ source taken from blu-ray, split all 6 channels and edited them together and merged with the FYC NTFC source that was used previously, it weaves in between the 6 channels eliminating as much sfx as possible.

2. Removed parts of center channel when characters in the movie talked.

3. All sampled and synthesized/Zebra organs added by me have been removed and replaced by the original. (This includes minor SFX for a few moments near the end, but no dialogue or anything like that) If you have an issue with SFX, go back to the video produced with samples.

0:44 - 2:34
Now much louder, especially at 0:44.

Speechless! Thanks, Tyler. :)

Thinking about *maybe*, *possibly* one day doing a score-only edit of the entire film. I'd remove the entire audio track and just have music-only. Kinda like an isolated score but not.

Yeah I would be interested in that.

That'd be neat.

It would easily be remuxable into existing movie files.
Or with advanced media players, MPC-HC, just rename the base file to match the movie file and LAV Splitter will pick it up and add it as an option for playback.

I also want to do a film edit by crossfading the cues (how 8m31 Quantifiable Connection fades into 8m32 What Happens Now? OMG), but I don't want to use the "flossy" tracks from Lockdown's FYC. I can be ready to do it ASAP (like I can even start right this second as I'm currenty working in Audition as I type), however I'm going to hold out for someone to rip the tracks as cleanly as possible from the physical Blu-ray so I can replace the flossy cues with high quality versions.

The bluray has sfx.
It'll require much more work than you intend.

Yeah, just use the flossy stuff.

I already started on doing that edit a while ago (crossfading them as from the film) and I am already half done with half of the cues.

Are you using the film's audio as a guideline, matching up the waveforms? Cause if so, then there's no need for me to do it

Is this your final version? :O

The race to perfection has no finish line. ;)

Yeah where possible. Dialogue or SFX can screw that strategy up pretty quick though.

Yeah where possible. Dialogue or SFX can screw that strategy up pretty quick though.

At times. But being that most of them crossfade, if you line them all up it should work out. But then there are those moments where there's silence so there's no overlapping to do. Editing is a bitch as I'm sure you're aware and is very trial and error

Ordered a vinyl copy but the release has been bumped back to 30th March (Norman Records) & 6th April (Amazon). =(

I'm new to the vinyl-buying game and won't have my setup sorted till next Saturday, I'm guessing this is a common occurrence with new releases?

This opens on April 7th. The Blu-ray releases 7 days earlier on March 31st, so that would be a no. Besides, the Blu-ray has already been pressed and has even been distributed to some for review:

To date, events like this for film have never gotten a bluray release before.

I would have loved Giacchino's Star Trek events to have gotten a BD.

I never did buy the UK import, perhaps that was a wise decision:

Yes. It's completely clean of SFX, I shit you not. As is 8m32 Where We're Going, which it fades into :D

I think we will get two birds with one stone :D...

March 30 -> Royal Albert Hall performance
March 31 -> Bluray officially comes out with extras
April 7 ->
exclusive musical performance recorded at the Royal Albert Hall in London, this is an experience you don’t want to miss.

So lets say they will publish an extra bluray for any of this events, means that we will get the Royal Albert Hall recordings... Hopefully! :)

at least maybe.. somehow we can get the "recorded" musical performance.....

They recorded Zimmers October Concert in London and from the talk here it sounds like they'll be filming at the Albert Hall too. Maybe excerpts of the Interstellar performance will be released as bonus material for the long overdue 'Revealed' concert Blu-ray. I can't see the whole Albert Hall performance being released in its entirety since the only way it would work is as an isolated track on the movie disc. Something for the double-dip perhaps?

So is there another rip of the FYC version?

You guys should check out the Cosmic Sounds Extra (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03pDThAeTqs) if you haven't already, the strings at 8:34 onwards are beautiful.

And this is some of the reasons why I can't truly enjoy a Zimmer score. The strings don't sound like this in the score at all..

They are just showing alternate takes of the string stems with some kind of test vibrato

He totally warps the sound of strings...trust me.

Can you imagine how much they could make if they released demos.
Not sessions (of the finalized score). But demos/alternates before they settled on a final version of the score.

All their testing.

They probably do a lot to them in post production, but they probably do 5-10 different takes of the strings for every cue, all with different expressions and variations.

Just for The Joker's theme alone, Zimmer had over 9000 samples for Nolan to listen to.

5-10 seems more managable.
I could be happy with a "best of" demos release.

The ship docking was something to behold/hear with the power of the Albert Hall's pipe organ behind it. Amazing. Huge applause from the audience when the ship locked on and the music ended!

Seems like a good idea. Hopefully it won't be necessary anymore though...

Unfortunately it'll happen again when they'll have to pay the next bill. So it would be better to add that donation status in the near future.

Went to the live screening of interstellar also. Was amazing. Powerful is not the word.No time for caution got a round of applause. Even got to meet the man himself and got my interstellar Rush and man of steel signed to go with the rest of my signed Zimmer collection :p

INTERSTELLAR LIVE

So the evening began surprisingly with a red carpet, which after a bit I left and just went in lol, as I was gonna see everyone inside anyway. Turns out I missed Chastain but oh well.



So the evening began...with a really nice and short intro from Stephen Hawking himself, who introduced everyone on stage! Extended applause all around. Then the pre-show talk, which was really quite nice. Some things we've known before such as that 'Day One' story were brought up, and Kip had a couple of slides explaining the Tesseract and how the black hole came to be and how Nolan decided to eschew scientific accuracy for a couple of thing such as the Doppler shift...you'll probably see that first bit online or somewhere (that April 7, I believe, special showing thing across the US?) soon, as it was filmed and all.



Now for the main bit, after the intro from Caine and Nolan and Zimmer...yup it began. It was damn good. Really really fantastic hearing it live as the film plays, and it doesn't need describing, you can imagine the feeling.... But the real kickers came in the second half...the whole Coward/Imperfect Lock/No Time For Caution sequence was chilling and really awesome, but NOTHING, not even, what I feel is a bit overhyped tbh, NTFC (of course the film version with organs and all, and of course applause at the end)...came close to Detach. WOW. WOW. WOW. Jaw hit the floor immediately when the organ kicked in, the sheer power, well I guess the extreme bass isn't just from post production huh. It hits you right there. And the Wagnerian organ/strings/wind combo at the end was just the icing wow. I was probably shaken and overwhelmed with joy/feels/epic and exhaustion at the end of that, which is something I have never quite felt ever during a live performance. And also another bit I loved was the slight variations in orchestrations in such in the bits you heard over and over...especially Day One/Who's They. Everything was just beautifully performed, I got extreme chills at the end credits, where it was really nice seeing different parts of the audience applauding even people like Paul Franklin, David Gyasi and so on...and of course the big cheer (which I kicked off) when "A Christopher Nolan Film/INTERSTELLAR" came up.



Overall....probably an even better way to experience the movie than 70mm IMAX. Unless you can fit a 60-piece orchestra and a giant fuck-off organ in a 70mm IMAX....but it wouldn't match Albert Hall acoustics though TBH. And while I really hope they do a tour of this like Giacchino did with Star Trek/Into Darkness as you all HAVE to experience this...it will never be quite the same performed by most if not all of the same performers from the recording sessions, Zimmer himself, and of course the giant 9,999-pipe fuck-off organ in question.






10/10 (as if this even needs a score, it transcends that :) Thank you Hans, Roger, Gavin, all the performers, RAH and Orchid for actually organising this (hope this gets them to do even more recent movies with excellent scores too) and of course Nolan.

Great review.! I unfortunately missed the intro from hawking which I was gutted about but nevertheless it was surprising to see pro Brian coz on the stage. Met him after the show and he was very nice.
I agree with you about the experience. Comepletely unique and hard to decide which I loved more. There were times where I was watching and didn't seem like a live orchestra, that's how perfect it was to the recordings, flawless!
You had great seats also, I was lucky to get mine but got one bang on in middle in 'K'.

Could have met up for a drink after haha
Did you wait around after the show to meet hans?

I also went, was brilliant although I wish they made the made the dialogue and SFX quieter, could barely hear cornfield chase. Definitely improved in the second half. Bumped into Cox in the lift too. Managed to record the whole performance, including the talk, sounds great although only mono. One other thing is that they barely used the organ in the first half, I think they just played the really low notes. Anyone else who managed to record a decent amount of the sound PM me, I'll see how mine sounds after running it through iZotope RX4 and ozone

Here (https://mega.co.nz/#!ZhBBRQ4I!VlDpz6cPiF7BBKPZKfB0czQ9sQ0H2vVEgqJ2mxm 9axg) is a small clip of NTFC, did a very quick edit so you can hear what its like, definitely sounds better than the youtube one.

Is not exclusive to music. They do software, movies, games, the works.
Forums like that generally have a larger audience, why they don't have issues with donations.

I must say after finally seeing this film, and really enjoying it as a fascinating science fiction odyssey with a very small-scale personal heart, that the score had nothing to do with my enjoyment at all.

It was there, and it was loud, but it really didn't do anything for me at all. I've actually decided not to bother listening to it on its own - something I wanted to wait for until AFTER seeing the film first. It's just not something that had an impact on me. Shame, but that's not to say it's bad - it's not - it's just not meaningful to me the way some of the other Zimmer / Nolan collaborations were. Amazing film though.

the score had nothing to do with my enjoyment at all.

They should make habits of releasing a lot of films with "Silent Space" versions like the Gravity re-release bluray.
No music, just sfx and dialogue mixed in.

Tyler still working hard on them. :)

Hey antovolk, if I squint real hard I can spot myself in one of your pics :-)

I learnt on the morning of the event that Stephen Hawking and Brian Cox would be there. This almost made me more excited about the pre-show talk than anything else.

What was most unbelievable is that during the intermission there was a selfie frenzy with Zimmer at the other end of the hall. I didn't expect any chance of getting over there so I stood up and walked toward the entrance of my section to stretch my legs and take in the surroundings.
From the walkway to the organ section emerged a very unassuming bespectacled gent who politely said "hello" and stood with me sipping some water... Holy shit, it's Roger Sayer! It was like he was invisible and it saddened me that so many people were simply walking to and fro without any hint of recognition for him. He seemed cool with his relative anonymity, and I did likewise and simply congratulated him on what was shaping up to be a fantastic night. He replied "thank you" and I returned to my seat. I could've kicked myself for not having my phone for a photo op, but I thought I would catch him at the end of the show with minimal fuss...how wrong I was...
After the credits rolled, Roger took to the stage and was met with the biggest cheer of the night. That made me happier than any selfie ever could.

---------- Post added at 11:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:07 PM ----------

Some of my own...

I would not have known Roger Sayer if I walked right by him. I would've been one of those ignorant fools. I've seen him only a few times so I'm still not that familiar with him

Lol. That's fair enough. He's got a decent following here in the UK...just in different circles is all. This is why I love film music. It covers all genres and gets me into all sorts of other music. Zimmers collaborations are either utterly inspired or completely WTF. Sayer falls into the former category.

I love this score so much!!!

Not sure if anyone has found/uploaded a better version, but this youtube video has a fixed Quantifiable Connection. The link is in the description and it includes both mp3 and flac. It's most likely lossy since the fyc was from a lossy source (at least to my knowledge).

Since there are a lot of recordings of certain tracks e.g. NTFC, end credits, I am going to combine the best of each bit to make a stereo track, then use mine for the rest of the film.
I am having a go at NTFC now, it seems to have the most recordings

Here (https://mega.co.nz/#!t4Iz1YhK!wJtQg0xndQSq94R0EMwfs8lY2cvecznjhEGI1ru L_dI) is a preliminary version of NTFC, using mostly mine, a little left and right from some other recordings

My vinyl copy of the ost came today, lovely packaging, mastering of the music itself seems tighter but sadly the quality of the pressing itself is piss poor, especially for a so-called "audiophile" vinyl, as is stickered on the front.

Both discs have a slight warp which causes a thumping sound in quieter tracks, there are two big dent-like marks on Side B and further marks on Side D; all of which are very much audible and visible. Plus overall the surface noise is poor.

Wanted to rip it but I'm gonna send it back; and while I'm not massively hopeful about getting much better..try and get another one.

Which release did you buy? The UK pressing, or the US one? Probably the UK, since the US version from WaterTower doesn't come out till later this month. Maybe the pressings will have different quality? Hopefully, since you seem to be disappointed in your copy.

Do you think the discs are warped because of how they were handled during the shipping process, or do you believe they were already like that?

Damn I'm jealous you already go it, but definitely do not rip it. Send it back. Idk when I'm gonna buy mine, maybe next paycheck. I pray it's not warped. Was it packed properly? Maybe the mailman played kickball with it. Or maybe it was just pressed with little to no care

USA only.
April 7th, Interstellar is back in theaters for a one-night screening.

Didn't it already have a re-release in IMAX theaters for limited viewing??


The selective run in 250 US theaters includes behind-the-scenes video from the Blu-ray release, interviews with Christopher Nolan, Hans Zimmer, and theoretical physicist Kip Thorne, and red carpet interviews from the gala screening at the Royal Albert Hall in London.

Yep, with "12 minutes of new footage!!!" which was really just behind-the-scenes stuff. I'm sure there were a lot of disappointed people that night.

I wonder how long the studio thinks they can milk Interstellar through these limited one-night re-releases.

Anyway... that sucks about your vinyl, DK... you'd think that if they were pressing the vinyl - a niche market, to be sure - they'd bother to do it right, so it's hopefully a defect and not a widespread problem.

However, it did word the articles correctly that it was for behind-the-scenes material and not actual new footage of the film itself.

:erm: Who runs the company? Kids?

However, it did word the articles correctly that it was for behind-the-scenes material and not actual new footage of the film itself.

Back when it was first announced, I found one article that correctly stated that it was nothing more than BTS stuff. Others I found all read "Chris Nolan never does deleted scenes, but there are 12 minutes worth for Interstellar! I wonder what character they'll focus on! I wonder if it'll be mind-blowing!" All inaccurate, of course. It was kind of funny to see the authors gab about what they thought the "deleted scenes" could be, completely missing the fact that there was no new footage. :p

Anything for more clicks. Online news is 99% garbage/rumors. Annoys me no end.

Slightly related: did anyone see that screenshot that surfaced last summer from TDK? It showed Lau on top of the pile of cash that the joker ignites - and he was on fire. In the film it cuts after Joker gives his "its not about money...it's about sending a message" line. So there's obviously more footage where we actually see Lau burning alive. I wish that was left in the film. It only would've added to the darkness

I think they cut that out to maintain a PG-13 rating.

It's the UK Music On Vinyl "At The MOVies" release. I believe it would have been pressed at Record Industries in Holland.

It was packed very well by the seller, stiff cardboard packaging, doubled up..

The warps on each disc aren't massively apparent till they're on the deck and spinning; they're both quite small and localised to one tight spot but it causes an audible thud on the quieter tracks and the whole tonearm visibly goes up a bit in tandem with it.

The records themselves are in poly anti-scratch/static sleeves with a paper outer. The main packaging is a glossy gatefold but there's also a nice, tough, clear plastic outer sleeve which makes the whole package feel sturdy. I can't see those dents/chips/marks on the record happening anywhere but prior to packaging at the pressing plant.

As for the surface noise, I'm under no illusions about vinyl being a perfect format but I have beat up records pressed 40yrs ago that are practically silent. I gave one of the LPs a good clean and anti-static treatment with a distilled water 80% to isopropanol 20% spray; as well as a going over with a carbon fibre brush and it didn't make the slightest bit of difference. This is not "audiophile vinyl" imo. Hopefully it's just a rare dud, but for the marks on the surface alone it shouldn't have made it past Quality Control..

I think they cut that out to maintain a PG-13 rating.

Yep, there it is. And that's probably why they cut it. I just wish maybe it could've been seen just for a few frames. Like right after Joker says "everything burns", the camera can do a quick pan up to lau. Just so that we really know for sure he was burning alive. Or if not at least showed him, heard him screaming.

heard him screaming.

Jesus. Censorship boards would ban the film if that happened.
Most times they find screaming or yelling too severe or graphic so ask that it get toned down.

You won't believe the crap they force to tone down, even for something so small as a scream.

It just would've made the film that much more realistic. As realistic as it already feels....

Anyway, back to Interstellar ;)

It just would've made the film that much more realistic.

That's ridiculous. The scene would add nothing while simultaneously taking away some much appreciated subtlety. As Hitchcock knew well, what you don't see is often scarier than the things that you do.

It's ridiculous to you, not me. I agree with the Hitchcock approach that what you don't see is more terrifying than what you actually do see. Paranormal Activity comes to mind.

Anyway, I was going to buy the MOV release of the vinyl but I'm getting the US pressing. This guy can't afford imports. So hopefully mine will be warp-free

Isnt it included in the Bluray Extras Disc?

Isnt it included in the Bluray Extras Disc?

Yes.
And they'll be shown again at the re-re-release this week in select theaters.

Is it really really really being re-re-released?

re-re-released?

Yes. They had previous one-night exclusive in select IMAX theaters.
And now again in (I guess regular) select theaters.

Hi. There are featurettes on the making and production included with the Blu-Ray. I've watched a few (there's like a dozen), and in one of them Nolan mentions something that was designed for a scene but that the scene was ultimately dropped or unused. So yes, no doubt there was stuff that was shot but didn't end up in the final edit. Nolan just chooses not to let us see what ended up on the cutting room floor. I'm not sure if a screenplay/script book has been released, but that would be one place to go hunting for deleted/discarded scenes.

Yes it has been released and there are no deleted/unused scenes in there. And I watched the special features too, I def don't recall anything involving an ultimately deleted scene.

Regarding deleted scenes - one shot () in the trailers that was cut was the rocket flying up as (?) Murph and Cooper (?) held hands. It was probably a scene shot specifically for the trailer, though, since I can't think of a spot it could have gone in the film.

Yeah, from what I heard that was specifically shot for the marketing campaign.

Can you be more specific? I know it's not trailer 3....

Can you tell me why vinyl always sounds "lower" than other formats? It's like it's quieter. Every time I rip vinyl I always find myself raising the decibels a couple of notches. Does it have to do with the mastering?

From what I've read: there are physical limitations of vinyl that require lower volume levels, than, say, a CD. Especially since so many CDs today are made louder than necessary. Digital files and CDs can be as loud as they'd like, theoretically, since there's no dependency on a needle to play back correctly.

If a vinyl has audio that is too loud, I think it messes up the needle.

You can tell from that image DK posted that the CD is probably a bit louder than the vinyl.

My guess would be that various aspects of commercial CDs are all heavily normalized to -0.1 amplitude before being mixed down into a stereo track, to be as loud as possible which leads the wavelength to looking like that, almost a solid block. I've seen it a lot with commercially mastered audio, and I'd assume that a Vinyl record would work differently and thus receive different mastering. If you compare FYC scores, too, to their commercial counterparts, the FYC scores are a lot cleaner, usually. I especially noticed this when comparing the HTTYD2 commercial score to the FYC. But what do I know about audio engineering? Nothing apparently...

If you compare FYC scores, too, to their commercial counterparts, the FYC scores are a lot cleaner, usually. I especially noticed this when comparing the HTTYD2 commercial score to the FYC.

Makes sense. The FYC scores are probably just straight from the digital source, without any extra mastering involved. For the retail CD, engineers love to make their stuff loud.

Arguably, in this sense the FYC would be superior.

On the CD mastering the lows and the highs (in terms of volume) are brought closer together via compression and then the gain of the whole track/s or part of the track/s is brought up as a whole. Everyone wants to be louder than everyone else but in an attempt to be even louder they use compression which sucks out the dynamic range. In the pic above you can see the CD has been mastered so loud that it is "brick-walled" with all of the peaks literally cut off; it's flat and sounds as such.

To further differentiate the different versions, the vinyl mastering has to be more appropriately matched to cutting the lacquer/acetate disc as well as playback of the end product; it's a delicate process and so certain frequencies have to be attenuated. Mastering the bass too wide or mastering the treble too loud can cause damage to the cutting lathe as well as cause playback issues and distortions for those who playback the resulting vinyl records.

I think the demographic of vinyl consumers also expect a certain type of sound.

It's just a shame that the Hi-Res downloads aren't sourced from a similar master to the vinyl copies rather than the same master used for the CD.

It's just a shame that the Hi-Res downloads aren't sourced from a similar master to the vinyl copies rather than the same master used for the CD.

They know their respective audiences, at least. Most consumers are used to the mind-bogglingly loud noise that CDs offer, and so offer the hi-res files that way; vinyl junkies, meanwhile, are used to a less ear-splitting and bombastic sound coming from their turntable, and are given the nuanced sound that they are used to.

It's a shame that the hi-res files were sourced from the CD masters... but that's the way it goes.

Digital files and CDs can be as loud as they'd like, theoretically

CD's do have limitations, so they can't really be made as loud as they can.
They could, but that's just poor mastering.

Their bit depth limits their signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_bit_depth
"The bit depth limits the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the reconstructed signal to a maximum level determined by quantization error. The bit depth has no impact on the frequency response, which is constrained by the sample rate."

Scroll down to Dynamic Range:
"Dynamic range is the difference between the largest and smallest signal a system can record or reproduce. Without dither, the dynamic range correlates to the quantization noise floor. For example, 16-bit integer resolution allows for a dynamic range of about 96 dB."

Going above 96 dB will likely cause clipping.
You would need 24 bit to go beyond that range.

But CD's are limited to 16 bit depth only.
There could be HDCD's where the bit depth allowed is 20-bit (only 20), but those are rarely made these days.
A soundtrack is likely to be found on HDCD.

SACD allow different ranges, but again not many OST's make it here, either.

The best solution for higher range soundtrack is a bluray transfer, as it can use a wide range of formats.

Digital files can be loud as they want because they can be any format with any bit depth and any sampling rate.

CD's can be loud too, but if not normalized, they'll clip.
And clipping you can hear. Pirates of the Caribbean 1 OST was severely clipped.

CD's can be loud too, but if not normalized, they'll clip.

Clipping is gross and when I hear it even minimally I like to open up the song in Audacity and see the sea of red clipping. Then I go and fix it myself.

I probably sound like a silly Nervous Nellie... but in light of the information that's surfaced (http://forums.ffshrine.org/f7/thank-you-donations-3-update-ffshrines-finances-187582/2.html#post2929070), if people wanna trade email addresses, etc. with each other now would be a prudent time... just to keep in touch in case the site ends up being nuked.

Has anyone got a rip of the vinyl? I found one on t411.io but the highs are distorted
Just got a copy of the vinyl, but either need to get a new cartridge for my vintage TT or just buy a Project Debut Carbon

Also been listening to the soundtrack with my new subwoofer (LSR310s to go with my LSR305's), Stay and Detach are amazing.

The Debut Carbon's a great deck. I've lost track of how many of those beauties I've sold :-)

thanks a lot !!!

many thanks

Listened through the whole vinyl - it seems the tracks are higher pitched as if you know when the film is usually sped up to 25fps for European TV, but not as bad...a problem with the pressing I guess.

Or maybe it's just my turntable spinning a touch too fast. First time this is noticeable. Everything else I have seems fine. Especially Batman Begins.

Listening to side A of the vinyl now, it seems the tracks are higher pitched as if you know when the film is usually sped up to 25fps for European TV, but not as bad...a problem with the pressing I guess.

There are samples of each track ripped from the vinyl here (http://www.juno.co.uk/products/zimmer-hans-interstellar-soundtrack/564062-01/), mono only unfortunately. I'm guessing they used a decent TT and pitch sounds fine on it.
I should be able to try mine out on tuesday/wednesday

Which copies of the vinyls do you guys have? I want to avoid this...

The European Sony (Music on Vinyl) pressings done in Belgium I think. The US WaterTower pressings are done by WaterTower themselves in the US - Furnace MFG https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKE3zH6MPB4 - supposed to be out on Record Store day and it's up for pre order at Amazon at the end of the month....

The issues I mentioned are on all 4 sides :P and same as what Donkee said too :/

Taken directly from the trivia page on IMDb, here's the reason for the different lengths:

The 70mm IMAX version is two minutes shorter than the regular 70mm, Digital IMAX, 35mm, and digital projection versions. This is because the end credits are played in an abbreviated slide-show form (rather than scrolling from bottom to top), due to the size capacity of the IMAX platters, which can hold a maximum of 167 minutes of film.

Ya my plan is to get the WaterTower pressing on Saturday. I almost bought the MoV version but decided to wait cause I couldn't afford it. Shame to hear that it's not up to par with what it should be. I honestly feel the companies don't give one single fuck about the qualities of their products.

Was just watching the video of the MoV pressing (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LiC06kHAdcc), their equipment seems a bit shoddy, you can see the vinyl visibly bending at 23 seconds and dropped at 27, then stacked horizontally (ones near the bottom probably getting damaged). Even at the end you can see the warping on the player. If mine turns out bad, i'll ask to exchange for the US import

If you could let us know how the WaterTower pressing is that'd be fantastic. I'd love to exchange mine for the import but given I purchased from Amazon UK which only has the MOV pressing on sale then so I'm asking for refund then re ordering from Amazon US/WaterTower.

Out of all the vinyls that I have this is def the worst one, and even I wouldn't mind of the issues if not for the whole pitch issue which really ticks me off every time I listen to it. Hell, the drops on Side C between Murph and Detach are horrible. Really horrible.
