|
I have mixed feelings about this guy. If anybody doesnt know who this is, he wrote the music for some certain japanesse anime films such as "spirited away" and "Princess mononoke".
I really respect him and like his music....some of the time....I dont know, its hard to explain.
But anyways, just wondering if anyone had a thought or 2 about him  |

I really like him. We have a good album here, JOE HISASHI MEETS KITTO FILMS or something like that... Very relaxing/inspiring music. |

This is my first post to the forum.
Thanks for the opportunity.
I, myself, enjoy Joe's music very
much. He's very dramatic and sens-
itive. I love the way he uses the
percussion section and while I can
understand that the genre does not
appeal to everyone, a view of the
films and the images etc. contained;
will reveal an almost childlike
innocence to which his music is
the adhesive.
His work, over the years, has also
evolved, becoming more of what it
is already - round and yet delicate.
Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away
are my favorites.
He is one of my very favorites and
certainly, most recently.

I like Hisaishi also, but there is distinctive quality to much of his work that is hard to describe, and is why I at any rate haven't yet bought one of his soundtracks. For want of a better word I'd call the quality an 'emptiness'. Not in a bad sense, it just seems that's the constant context for his music. So when there is a beautiful melody you often feel like you're in a warm nice room but outside the door it's cold and barren.
I haven't heard enough to say more at this point--I'm working my way through Nauusicaa, I loved that movie and the music in it at the time, and am still very impressed with some of JH's themes for it. |

I've heard his scores to Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away, and they were awesome. He's written several scores for director Hayao Miyazaki, which I hope I'll get to hear sometime in the future. |
