Movie "Enemy mine" had a nice reptilian alien, but also nice horn melodies in the sound track reminding to R.Schumann´s Spring Symphony. We recorded that in a rush and ende recording 8 days before the premier. If I recall well, it was by Maurice Jarre. Regarding all that room temp stuff: don´t we have tuning slides to adapt quickly, even during performance. ####################################################################### Am 21.04.2011 um 21:36 schrieb [email protected]: > The only reptilian aliens I know are in front of the orchestra gyrating or > re-enacting their ritualistic mating dance and waving a stick. > > Wes Hatch > > > In a message dated 4/21/2011 1:17:10 P.M.
