    So much detail, so many notes... Simply the act of writing all this down by hand is kind of astonishing.

    Great work on a *very* busy score. The whole sequence has a zany, cartoony vibe, that JW supports with an orchestral update of 50s cartoon music. If you haven't heard "Powerhouse", check it out! And please keep the videos coming, sir!

    Hey folks, hope you enjoy this one! This was definitely one of the most bizarre and crazy analyses I’ve ever worked on. Sorry the audio is a bit bamboozled here and there… this cue was definitely cut up a lot in post, and I tried to follow that the best I could with what I had. Thank you!

    fun fact the knight bus score was inspired by one of the first film scores written and the first jazz like film score written, a street car named desire

    Hearing this cue reminds me of John Adams's "Chamber Symphony," which was inspired by Schoenberg + cartoon music.

    Thanks for the analysis! In listening to the recording on the soundtrack, though, I noticed what might be a microtonal Easter egg that I didn't see you point out here. If I'm not mistaken, the slow sections are tuned normally (to something like A-440), whereas the fast sections are tuned 50 cents off, exactly half-way between two keys of the standard 12-tone equal temperament. If that's right, I think it's a brilliant musical metaphor for the Knight Bus squeezing into places normal buses can't go.

    Fantastic piece but did anyone else notice the foley sound effect of the bus driver biting his sandwich at 0:21 sounds curiously like the Minecraft eating sound effect?

    Why hasn't any mentioned West Side Story yet as an influence? The atonal bass line, the sax riffs, motivic clocks... It all fits! (plus JW was playing piano in the orchestra that recorded the film version at that time)

    Thank you very much for this! This is indeed a very busy cue. One question: I checked the original score too and it seems the audio starting at bar 14 has a walking bass, not coinciding with what's written. Do you hear it too?

    Can you please analyze one the of cues from Danny Elfman’s “Batman?” You can purchase the ENTIRE score at OmniMusicPublishing.com. I love your in-depth analysis on the music, and I would love to see you give the same treatment to one of my all-time favorite scores!
