Mike Patton, master of pretty much everything worth being the master of, wrote the entire score to the upcoming film "The Place Beyond the Pines." You should check it out.
Check out the score, that is. I have no idea if the movie sucks or not and I really don't care enough to find out. The one thing that's going to immediately stand out to you about the score is that it isn't just that typical "hey, here's some ambiance for the movie" kind of music deal. It's actual composition with what seem to be real instruments and voice playing things that stand alone outside the context of the film. That's impressive, not that Mike Patton would disappoint in the first place… and shame on you for even thinking that.
