For Your Eyes Only - Unreleased Bill Conti Music - Reconstruction

Описание: 0:00 Moscow

0:18 Stinger

0:28 Sleigh Ride
In the movie there is a "suspense" guitar chord at the end of the track. It was not on the sheet music so I left it out (which suited me well because I wouldn't know how to make a virtual guitar sound good). Maybe it was added later in the movie production?

2:01 Ferrara Killed
In the movie there is a sound effect associated to the Dove (heard right before the transition Corfu). Once again it was not on the sheet music so I left it out.

2:46 On the Terrace

3:44 Dove to Warehouse
The Bouzouki at the start was extracted with AI from the very small portion officially released, which can be heard at the start of Sub Vs. Sub on the CD

4:41 Divers Approach
Only two short extracts are heard in the movie. Apparently the whole track sounded too much like another movie, I can't figure out which one ;). The final, dissonant chord is not heard in the underwater scenes, but it was repurposed for Bond falling off the cliff during the climax.

5:24 Inside the Monastery
The download link below contains a version with a transition to the rest of the cue (part 2 of St. Cyril's Monastery on the CD). One of the most underrated Bond Theme renditions ever.

5:57 Raid on St. Cyril's
I re-used the "pom pom" ostinato from the released track "St. Cyril's Monastery".

Here is my attempt at recreating the 9 incidental tracks missing from the official CD release of For Your Eyes Only.

The full score published by Neumaton music (https://neumation-music.com/products/bill-...) helped me enormously to achieve this. These tracks feature way more instruments that what is possible to hear in the movie mix. I can't recommend this book enough and I hope other Bond scores will be released in sheet music form.

But the longest part was actually finding the right virtual instruments (thankfully Musescore 4 has great ones), closely listening to the movie source and trying one bazillion of settings to get the final mix right. It can never be as good as the real thing, but I hope I dit it justice.
