Discombobulous, With Elephant
Mar. 8th, 2010 01:48 amI remember while watching Sherlock Holmes thinking how much I enjoyed the score - the reeling dance-hall piano, staccato strings, the gyre spinning always almost out of control. It's by Hans Zimmer, who also did the music for Pirates of the Caribbean (among zillions of others - he's something of a That Guy1 in film composition).
Here below is a music video for "Discombobulate", the key motif of the film. Rather than show clips from the movie, they've got the musicians doing their thing. I hate to use the word zany, but... check it out for yourself.
Gloriously steampunk piece, and the musicians are having a blast. Fireplace with dog and wine, boxes, boats, beaches, ELEPHANT, dancing... wondrous :D.

1 The That Guy website is so very neat. Seen a film and gone "Hey, it's that guy!"? Chances are you'll find him here. There are a few exceptions (for instance, Mark Sheppard is a That Guy on genre shows at the moment, to the extent that he's gone from "It's Badger-from-Firefly" to "Eee, Mark Sheppard!" for me), but the sheer number of character actors listed is impressive.
