List
Just watched a fantastic movie " Nomadsland" the other evening. Probably the most enchanting part of the movie was not the script and acting (although excellent), was the music. Specifically, much of the music featured one of the most cleanly tuned and voiced pianos I've heard in a long time. Anyone on this list responsible for that work? Kudos! My guess is it was a Bosendorfer grand. At any rate, I always like to check the credits, especially if the music was fantastic. The thorn in the side is no mention at all as to who the musicians were, and to my point, who the piano technician was. For a project where the piano really stole the show, you would think some credit was due.
I'm always sadden that our industry continually gets overshadowed by the 3rd and 4th secondary hairdressers, and just about everyone else associated with the film production. But the music production side of it, forget about it! The music production director usually get a mention, but that usually about it.
How has this practice of not giving credit to those musicians (and piano technicians) who poured the heart and soul into a project, and not get any credit. Is it because we are not unionized, and the screen actors guild is?
Anyhow, just ranting. The last time my blood boiled over was when the "Kings Speech" came out. Again, a beautifully tune and voiced piano stole the show. And again, no mention to the source of the beauty.
