I am not really sure that it is the genre film music that is intrinsically inferior or totally different from the aesthetics of the old "concert music." What repels me about Williams or ALW is that they allow themselves to sink into repetitive patterns. The cliche got recycled and became cheap shrills. Full of sonic decorations at rough strokes, but no nuances or substance. You pretty much can guess what will come up when the door of the spaceship opens. Film music can have its own autonomy, can be an integral part of/organic part of a film or can have endless innovations. I guess most people here are basing their statements on the Hollywood Studio system, where either the producer or the director becomes the dictator. Composers only offer their service but not their intelligence. Vachnadze
