[@wingflanagan]

I appreciate that this is available again. In my own experience as a shoddy, self-taught composer, the easiest thing to do is add stuff until something starts to sound OK. The hardest thing to do is simplicity, because it gives you nowhere to hide. You cannot bury a mediocre musical idea in lush orchestration. Feidel's real accomplishment, IMHO, is in finding just the right sounds and then letting them speak. That's my takeaway, anyway. Good stuff!

[@AlexBallMusic]

Absolutely. Some of the things I'm most proud of have the least in them. It's a virtuous circle - get the parts right and you don't need to put lots into it. The clean writing and arranging makes it easier to mix and it sounds more together and more powerful. Every single time. And yet it's so easy to forget!

[@yrussq]

OMG. Absolutely my words. These sounds are the narrative by themselves. This soundtrack can be used as a base for another sci-fi dark future movie and you really should be and untalented deaf director to fuck it up. T2 is a wonderful example of uniquely talented people working together and building each piece of the puzzle right.

Interesting video. Although it contradicts what Brad Fiedel said in the supplementary material on the original T2 Collector's Edition laserdisc box set (which cost a fortune in the mid-90s) - he stated there that the anvil sound was a processed recording of him hitting one of his kitchen pans.

[@AlexBallMusic]

I recall that being the other film. Heard him say that he sampled a pan into an Emu Emulator and the signal overloaded, which gave it a really nasty sound. The anvil in T2 is definitely from the Fairlight.

This is the best electronic music channel on the internet. Excellent research work telling the history of electronic music and how technology mix with great artists who can make the most of it.🧠👏👏👏

[@tomahzo]

God that was amazing. I love the film, the score and the machines that went into making it. There is so much interesting trivia about the scores for both of those films. For example, the time signature for a lot of the score in The Terminator is somewhat unpredictable and sounds very complex to the point where people have been trying to figure it out for years now. In fact, a lot of it simply came from Brad Fiedel trying to keep his machines in sync. One part of the problem was that the Prophet 10 on-board sequencer was notoriously wonky and would drift in and out of sync, which added to the final expression. That's the thing about the machines of today - they are clean, sound perfect and are almost limitless. A lot of brilliant music and visual art of the past 30-40 years have come from working within the limitations of technology, which in turn helps shape the end result into something beautiful. Brad Fiedel's score is a testament to this.

[@unfa00]

A good artist knows that limitations are his friend. And you can definitely make great stuff with today's technology - sometimes you just need the discipline to impose your own limitations. For example: I synthesize nearly everything, even though using drum samples would be easier - but pushing against that limitation gives my music a distinct quality.

[@christopherlawley1842]

Pushing tge technology is /always/ better than having it handed to you on a plate. I'd also point to the early days of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop

[@tomahzo]

@@unfa00Agreed. The thing is, though: Those limitations are artificial. There is no necessity in it. That is what makes it a bit demoralizing to me. I prefer having outer hard constraints rather than arbitrary, self-imposed ones. But that's just me. At the end of the day, though, whatever gets you interesting results is what counts.

[@tomahzo]

@@christopherlawley1842 Yeah, but those guys basically had to invent everything from scratch ;). Less about working with constraints in existing technology and more about "how in the world are we supposed to make this happen?" and then proceeding to invent new technology and methods to get results that few others had gotten at that point. Very interesting still.

Great video. This reminded me how good this soundtrack is and I totally agree with the comment about it blurring the lines between original musical score and sound effects.

I will probably listen to it in the car as I think the only other thing I have nowadays that will play it is my 4K Blu-ray player.

[@Catonator]

Could you take a similar look at Éric Serra's scores someday (GoldenEye, Léon the Professional, La Femme Nikita etc.)? He was one of the early adopters of PCM synthesis and his electronica-influenced scores really shine in their uniqueness. I'd love to see a deep dive into how he assembled his sound.

[@hammondvoodoo9555]

That kind of depth, craftmanship, imagination, dedication (including the actors of course) is what makes T2 such a great movie. Most people don't have the full scope of what went into making this movie. For me it's incomprehensible that once you have worked at this level, you make further sequels that are not even worthy of comparison.

[@Earthhasnolove]

One of my favorite movies of all time, THE MUSIC FOR TERMINATOR 2 WAS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT

[@systemG3000]

[@huahua4186]

Thank you, thank you thank you! Was an 90's child and was 11 when I saw T2. This score is one of my biggest influences in music. The arrangement, the merger of analog and digital, T2 had it's own personality that offered deep reflection in our own capabilities of creation and destruction. As an audio engineer, my hats off to the this breakdown video and the respect deserved for the artistry.

[@belovedconsole]

Wow! This was a ton of work you did, here. I'm so glad I found this because I've always loved that "clank" (Anvil II) in the score and am glad to see you explain it. I too, when first watching and hearing this movie was so impressed with how the music used samples of metal in what I saw as a reference to the then popular music movement "industrial". I feel like this came at a time when audiences were ready for such a thing. It's interesting to see in contrast the bits of the first Terminator score you included and how synthy they were, which I'd forgotten and they now seem very dated and 80s but still very cool. Thanks for putting this together. I can't believe it only has 537 views and only 99 likes! Liked and sub'd!

[@AlexBallMusic]

Yes, T2 hit a junction of many things and became immortal. You're absolutely right. The Terminator score has some amazingly dark moments in it and I love that score, but there some bits that are very of the era, as you were saying. Particularly that bit where Sarah Conner is riding a bike to work before it all kicks off. The music there always makes me laugh!

[@exklusiv05]

Thank you a lot for these explosives. In my roland xp-50 rompler back in the 90s I discovered the low pitching sounds of classical instruments as well so here we are, it's again the sounds of the dark future.

[@ScottGlasgowMusic]

Awesome video! I have a tidbit of interesting info from the Fidel Terminator films, he was put down on the music union contract as the only one player (well possibly with the electric violin player) so he collected the majority of the secondary market "special payments" which normally would be split up the orchestra of 90-100 musicians-- we are talking a lot of money. On huge budget films like these that make a ton of money at the box office and in the secondary market, these films made him very rich (on top of fact he was also paid the fee to score the films and received millions in performance royalties worldwide). I understand he retired early..... comfortably.

[@AlexBallMusic]

Good for him :) Maybe that's one of the reasons he didn't need to put up with the stress and politics of it. Read that he felt he needed out after 20 years or so. Think he said he was doing some sailing or work on boats or something!

[@mattm9470]

This video is so immensely satisfying! It scratched an itch I've had for several years concerning the scene where John first sees the T-800 walking down the back hall of the mall. As he pulls the shotgun from the rose box, I always envisioned a huge foundry/forge and massive hammers shaping skill. The revealing of sound clip anvil11 is vindication and oh so welcome. Thank you!

Truly awesome documentary. T2's unique score was as essential to its success as Cameron's direction and all the pioneering effects work. Fiedel's improvisational approach to music and sound was such an important and under-acknowledged asset to the franchise. I'm glad he enjoys doing his own musicals but it's such a loss that he left film scoring.

Using the latest technology to create things not many tried before and sounds we had not heard prior. I was only 7 when this movie was released (my parents didn't care if I watched these things) but I can truly say the music had as big an impact on me as the pictures.

Great video, on my second viewing. As that fairlight brass sample descends, I'm anticipating the goosebumps when it hits the T2 pitch. Works every time.

This video is amazing. The first terminator is my favourite movie and has influenced my music and taste in music greatly. Thanks for this video, fantastic. That remake of the first one was next level!!

This video makes me upset that I spend so much time watching cute animal videos when there is so much intelligent content like yours out there. Bravo!
