Homeland theme tune made me move from a thirty year saxophone adventure into buying a trumpet. And today I recorded an hour of music with the trumpet, such a sonorous but gentle blow. Sax is like a sports car, trumpet is a horse.
I think he meant that there's often some kind of dramatic build-up before a commercial break, particularly when it's between acts. At the time the meaning of the sound was likely made more obvious via an accompanying physical gesture that ended up being offscreen.
YES.. He is doing a vocal imitation of a "swell" that often happens before a commercial break. He says: "you have to take into account that you have a big; (insert dramatic vocal swell sound here). He is contrasting this with JJ as it has no commercial/act breaks. An example of another Marvel show that was cut for these kinds of breaks and has a dramatic musical "push" right before the break is- Agents Of SHIELD.
Sean Callery is one of the finest living composers, and if you've been to my home, I likely played you some of his music (on *CD* _not_ *MP3* or any compressed format) to show off my sound system. I noticed, though, that when he displays the score, it is written in 4/4 not 6/8 despite all the triplets and sextuplets. I'm not trying to tell this top composer how to write music, but I've noticed this same thing elsewhere, too. Years ago, I bought a Blue Öyster Cult song book, and the sheet music for Buck's Boogie ( ua-cam.com/video/f7sfa6WIXI8/v-deo.html ) was likewise written in 4/4, with triplet marks over all the eighth notes. That's doing it the hard way! The only reason I can guess for this is that he played the original in Logic, the default meter of which is 4/4, then imported that into Finale, instead of starting in Finale and importing into Logic, but since you can play directly into Finale (or any other notation software), that's also doing it the hard way. (At 1:48:00 he mentions this.) I don't mean to nit pick, but I'm a fan of triple meters, and I'm disappointed that more composers don't write in 6 or 9 or 12.
Music in Homeland is just THE BEST!! Thank you!!
I actually find the music he made on the spot for the scene from Homeland better than what ended up being on the show. It made me choke up.

This is incredible! what a resource I don't even compose music but how lucky to have this as a resource!
When and where I can buy the score to Homeland. It's amazing!
Anyone else wondering what the heck happened at 14:48? rewound it several times and can't figure it out
It's his internal tape .. it skipped! Maybe it's some kind of tic? Not sure, but it only happened once in 2 hrs.
