I don't suppose I'll get a response, all the same I'll leave
the question.

Who's idea was it to have the sweet solace of Miles roped in
with the tragic recollections of Pinter?

Couldn't the producers have found some obscure music to
illustrate their drama, rather than have these two influences
converge in this way.

Was there no thought on the after taste created in this marriage,
or was this just another cynic having his way with the balance
of ideas.

If it has to have music (and I doubt there will be very much anyway),
I think Miles Davis is much more suitable than "some obscure music".

So does this reviewer of a stage production of "The Lovers"..

http://www.thelivemusicreport.com/theatre/artword/p&p.html

"“The Lovers” is also something of a time capsule piece – full of the
influences and elements of 1962, the year that it was produced. The
characters have no way of seeing into the future, past their reality
of social regimentation, scotch, wife-swapping, Dwight D. Eisenhower
and Seconals. Soon the social revolution will be underway… bringing
with it Beatle mania, the Civil Rights movement, the pill, social drug
use and eventually the Hippie era and “free love”.

It would have been so much more visceral if the music could have
depicted the atmosphere of early 60’s with all of its longing to break
social mores. The music should really have been drawn from the jazz
that was being created at the time. Early Miles Davis or John Coltrane
would have set the scene much more effectively than the original music
of Evelyn Datl, who seems to have been heavily influenced by Mike
Oldfield..."

Thanks for the come back...

I just had a sense of a cold use for warmer memories.
The bitter tragedy of this production coupled to Miles
leaves an impression, on the music. In other words to
recall one is now to recall the other.

I'm thinking of all the Miles fans who might have tuned
into this production, all those who were drawn to the
production by the music, only to find the music is now
tainted by the themes of this production. Continuing
after this production has been forgotten.

A production of this nature, dealing with the themes it
did, might have create music in the style of, without
actually using what already has common currency.

That said i have nothing against the Miles meme being
used to propergate other ideas and promote the master. ;]
Frankly I'd sooner they did something, created a dramatic
telling of the Miles' story. His autobiography would be
a good place to start.

Thanks for the come back...

I just had a sense of a cold use for warmer memories.
The bitter tragedy of this production coupled to Miles
leaves an impression, on the music. In other words to
recall one is now to recall the other.

I'm thinking of all the Miles fans who might have tuned
into this production, all those who were drawn to the
production by the music, only to find the music is now
tainted by the themes of this production. Continuing
after this production has been forgotten.

A production of this nature, dealing with the themes it
did, might have create music in the style of, without
actually using what already has common currency.

That said i have nothing against the Miles meme being
used to propergate other ideas and promote the master. ;]
Frankly I'd sooner they did something, created a dramatic
telling of the Miles' story. His autobiography would be
a good place to start.

So does this reviewer of a stage production of "The Lovers"..

http://www.thelivemusicreport.com/theatre/artword/p&p.html

"“The Lovers” is also something of a time capsule piece – full of the
influences and elements of 1962, the year that it was produced. The
characters have no way of seeing into the future, past their reality
of social regimentation, scotch, wife-swapping, Dwight D. Eisenhower
and Seconals. Soon the social revolution will be underway… bringing
with it Beatle mania, the Civil Rights movement, the pill, social drug
use and eventually the Hippie era and “free love”.

It would have been so much more visceral if the music could have
depicted the atmosphere of early 60’s with all of its longing to break
social mores. The music should really have been drawn from the jazz
that was being created at the time. Early Miles Davis or John Coltrane
would have set the scene much more effectively than the original music
of Evelyn Datl, who seems to have been heavily influenced by Mike
Oldfield..."

It would have been so much more visceral if the music could have
depicted the atmosphere of early 60’s with all of its longing to break
social mores. The music should really have been drawn from the jazz
that was being created at the time. Early Miles Davis or John Coltrane
would have set the scene much more effectively than the original music
of Evelyn Datl, who seems to have been heavily influenced by Mike
Oldfield..."

Thanks for the come back...

I just had a sense of a cold use for warmer memories.
The bitter tragedy of this production coupled to Miles
leaves an impression, on the music. In other words to
recall one is now to recall the other.

I'm thinking of all the Miles fans who might have tuned
into this production, all those who were drawn to the
production by the music, only to find the music is now
tainted by the themes of this production. Continuing
after this production has been forgotten.

A production of this nature, dealing with the themes it
did, might have create music in the style of, without
actually using what already has common currency.

That said i have nothing against the Miles meme being
used to propergate other ideas and promote the master. ;]
Frankly I'd sooner they did something, created a dramatic
telling of the Miles' story. His autobiography would be
a good place to start.

If it has to have music (and I doubt there will be very much anyway),
I think Miles Davis is much more suitable than "some obscure music".

So does this reviewer of a stage production of "The Lovers"..

http://www.thelivemusicreport.com/theatre/artword/p&p.html

"“The Lovers” is also something of a time capsule piece – full of the
influences and elements of 1962, the year that it was produced. The
characters have no way of seeing into the future, past their reality
of social regimentation, scotch, wife-swapping, Dwight D. Eisenhower
and Seconals. Soon the social revolution will be underway… bringing
with it Beatle mania, the Civil Rights movement, the pill, social drug
use and eventually the Hippie era and “free love”.

It would have been so much more visceral if the music could have
depicted the atmosphere of early 60’s with all of its longing to break
social mores. The music should really have been drawn from the jazz
