![]() ![]() And… and… and I saw it as a challenge, to go through, get into and work with this music that I had such ambiguous feelings about, because I had to sort of "buy in" to the style, as well as the mythology of the film series in order to organize a decent representation. And I knew that there was an enormous amount of music from all three films available. And trilogy mixes, where I have the opportunity to explore the development of themes over the course of a film series, are probably my favorite to make. Those moments, though… they gave me an idea for the basic structure for an album. There were a few moments I felt were especially inspired, but for the most part I was not too jazzed by the music by its appearance in the films or on the albums, feeling it was mostly pretty routine stuff, reasonably effective in the films but little more. My reaction to the music for the Christopher Nolan Batman films - which seem to be referred to now as "The Dark Knight Trilogy" - was indifference at worst, lukewarm at best. Sometimes I get an idea that ends up taking me in directions I am a bit surprised by. Sometimes I try things that just don't work (I never managed to get a Harry Palmer mix together, for example the scores are just too different). In cases like that, I don't always know where that process will take me, but that's part of what makes this hobby interesting. Sometimes this is for a track or two, sometimes it's for an entire mix. I have on occasion talked about "getting bitten by the mix bug." This is because there are some ideas I have that appear in the back of my mind and then start to bother me until I try them out.
