Basil Poledouris - The Basil Poledouris Collection, Vol. 3 '2022

Tracks list

       Dragon’s Domain Records presents THE BASIL POLEDOURIS COLLECTION,
VOLUME 3, featuring two previously unreleased scores composed by Basil
Poledouris (CONAN THE BARBARIAN, THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER, LONESOME DOVE, FREE
WILLY) during his early days as a film composer.

1977’s TINTORERA: KILLER SHARK is renowned in bad movie circles, but
contains an excellent score. While the title of this Mexican exploitation movie
promises JAWS-like terror and suspense, the actual film is not really so much
about killer sharks but about two guys who spend their time hunting and bedding
warm, willing women and only briefly actually hunting and snuffing cold, hungry
sharks. 1979’s DOLPHIN is an ecological documentary about the plight of
the dolphins in the late ‘70s, really one of the first documentary films
to recognize and examine the intelligence of these oceanic mammals and promote
the notion that they should not be regarded as commodities for our entertainment
or the by-catch of the Tuna industry. Both scores obviously appealed to Basil
due to his love of the sea and of sailing, and both scores reflect the passion
of a rising young musician soon to emerge into his fullness as a composer.

Basil’s musical score for TINTORERA is a mix of synth-based suspense
tracks and catchy pop rhythms; he also composed and arranged the film’s
main song. By successfully steering away from any musical reference to JAWS in
his TINTORERA score, Basil created a potent shark motif of his own using the low
growling drones of a Moog synthesizer, accompanied by a variety of percussion,
keyboard, and other underwater noises that essentially create the sound of being
underwater, circled by a menacing, killer shark. Two lighter themes focus on the
characters as they pursue their licentious lifestyles, sharing and trading
partners with hedonistic abandon; these tuneful, poppy/jazzy melodies featuring
woodwind, saxophone, marimba, acoustic and electric guitars and keyboards are
taken through a number of variations associated with love scenes, tourist
destinations and montages.

For DOLPHIN, Basil provided a gentle, rhythmic main theme and many specific
pieces of music for the film’s individual segments. The score was written
for a small ensemble consisting of five players using a simple palette of
guitars, bass, keyboards, synthesizers, drums, and percussion; Poledouris is
among them, playing keyboards. The result is a quietly intimate score built
around folk melody and harmonic structures that fit each segment’s tone
that is also a delight to listen to on its own.
