Thomas Dolby: How to score Love Scenes

[@technounionrepresentative4274]

Hmm, I came here after listening to one of his songs, i wondered what he was up to nowadays or at least what he was doing in the past five years, I do not have an interest in scoring scenes myself but this is quite interesting this would certainly be useful for anyone looking for advice on scoring movies, Bravo herr Dolby

[@micahlanboney7830]

Thank you Mr. Dolby! The wealth of your knowledge and work never ceases to amaze.

[@thetechsuppoort]

Thank you so much for everything! I was 12 when I first saw you on MTV - I fell in love with your music immediately and knew that's what I wanted to do with my life. I begged my father for a synthesizer and went from there - I've never looked back. I can't ever repay what you've done for me, only continue to love what you do - Thank you forever, Professor Dolby.

Thanks Professor Dolby for uploading these publicly, they're a fascinating watch!

[@LovedBySunEnterprise]

Thank yew Thomas !!! You're getting me to realize my passion in life. You're truly an amazing soul, and I love you.

[@sickofgreyhats]

Thomas you're SO talented, and i LOVE your son's video. He got your good looks AND the voice. 👍 You are too cool for words. Keep rocking. You made MTV cool.

Cloud burst on shingle street - one of my pivotal musical moments ! “I’m just a cork in the ocean bobbing in the North Sea.”

[@terrynoonan6616]

Me too buddy

[@AgentsofRush]

I hear Gothic! I grew up with a VHS of that movie as a teen and got your soundtrack at the time (sicne got it on vinyl). Saw you in Cambridge in 2013 I think it was and you used some sounds from the soundtrack for your show. Was great ✌

[@amycarden1078]

I wish I had had you as a professor when I was getting my theory/composition degree, I might have stuck with writing longer than I did. This was thoroughly enjoyable and insightful.

[@Ian-qs3fz]

who wouldn’t want him as a professor? he’s Thomas fuckin Dolby!

[@estevam_neto]

Thank you so much Mr. Dolby, for uploading this!

[@PaulSebastien]

Absolutely invaluable wisdom for any aspiring film/video composer...and what a perfect selection of examples! 👌

[@generalzar0ff]

You’ve done so much for the Max Headroom fandom 💙

[@mikeduckaudio5401]

Fantastic! Thank you Thomas 😎👍🎹

[@TheHighPriestessStudio]

Ahh yes Vertigo, what a movie that was! 🌹 Lovely video composing

[@nativochileno7091]

[@prv808]

Thanks for the insight, Tom. Great work. Hope all is well with you. Phil

[@sixbells99]

Wow this is Thomas Dolby the Man in a Suitcase!! One of the best artists of the 80s!!

[@andyroid5028]

*Well, to be completely accurate... Sting (the Police) was the Man IN a Suitcase. Thomas Dolby is Living (I LIVE) in a Suitcase.*

[@markushaist]

Very insightful and helpful - thank you

[@clintt5266]

The Vangelis love theme melody reminds of me "You're just too good to be true"

[@torbreww]

That’s what I always thought.

[@erikgwk]

28:13 it's crazy how much visualization helps to hear sounds! Great vid

[@m3ow0n]

Wow, this is just what I needed! Thankyou for this!

[@tobaccypipe]

Thank you, Professor Dolby! Very useful information.

[@mattdelange]

Awesome.

[@likamarques]

Thank you for sharing the love

[@LovedBySunEnterprise]

Also, you made me believe we were born at different times in the opposite place for a reason. I was born in 1985, and you were in your 20's. But you are training me so well I'm your ways. Thank you. Funny how the timelines get messed up 🧐🤗🤭😩😫😵‍💫

[@simonzufiria1843]

We miss you, Thomas

[@martinholmes3305]

Vangelis was the one that stood out for me. I feel there is room for some new creative way of musically expressing love.

[@AescobarMusica]

Thanks master for another pedagogical video!

[@GUNUFofficial]

Now i want to replace all love scene music with heavy metal and see how funny that'll be.

[@jorgeestiels8600]

Genius!

[@riseofthethorax]

Baltimore, is that the steel town, my brother worked there, and I attended the art museum there.

[@shiloh7669]

I was trying to concentrate but she blinded me with science

[@synthverkstad2093]

Thanks for the tutorial! A problem with a lot of new movies is that the score overpowers the dialogue and makes it impossible to hear it. How can that trend be broken?

[@jayc2469]

I've never noticed her pupils glowing in the Bladerunner scene before!

[@luistic6971]

master Dolby our need a new album

[@joddbeel]

Nice. Thank you. You are also good at pedagogy.

[@emilianolopez5631]

Superb!

[@solcutta3661]

Why is the brand new released 2009 remix I scare myself had the comments disabled..I really wanted to say how brilliantly beautifully hauntingly sublime it is.. I love that song...so much better than Dan Hicks version..thankyou for new release. Please allow comments

[@commentatron]

Thank you for the resume. We'll be in touch.

[@riseofthethorax]

It would be interesting to see what choices williams has in his star wars scenes, I assume this is john williams for indiana jones, I could ask chatgpt, but I claim ignorance..

[@revoxb8836]

Thomas, I am afraid the opening just reminded me of the Dave Lee Travis show on Sundays in the eighties...

[@dafingaz]

Nice!

[@calmblast]

Thanks for the video Mr Dolby 👍 it was very good and helpful. btw, are you related to the creators of the Dolby sound system?

[@crnkmnky]

Nope, he just messed with tape machines a lot in school, so they called him that.

[@riseofthethorax]

Room with a view?

[@cannonstudios]

Love Theme, Blade Runner say no more!

I know this is in an educational context, but you should probably re-upload these somewhere else as well, as youtube's DMCA system works automatically and is likely to take this down despite this not being an infringement of copyright.

I just found out that you’re friends with my buddy CharlieCharles Koehl Created a variety of 3-D interactive musical instruments how intriguing I’ve known Charlie since we were five years old we’ve been experimenting with electronics computers and communication since we were little kids I hope you’re doing well Thomas stay safe

[@petermot645]

👍🏼

[@mackenziemcknight3613]

I feel like if you were my English teacher I might have actually passed English 12 the first time and didnt have to retake it.😁

[@loumonte658]

'You're wearing the thimble' lol

[@luanoire]

thanks to your education i am a better singer and also amateur composer greetings from mexico

[@jamesbarracudavincent8962]

I don't get it

[@scruffypuppy]

Damn you look handsome!

[@Me-Miranda]

I love you Mr D, but how can you call one of the most romantic scenes ever made a stinker ??😢 I guess we'll have to disagree on The English Patient 😊

[@riseofthethorax]

Alfred hitchcock movies, his hatred of blondes

[@onedumby]

Ля ты старый люблю тя

[@torbreww]

Beautiful, but MIDI strings never do justice to real strings, even if it’s just one or two real instruments. Then in that case knock it up an octave, molto vibrato with a single real violin or cello.

[@jaycee1980]

completely irrelevant to the subject at hand - Thomas Dolby would make a fantastic Isaac Kleiner ;)
