An ongoing series wherein I comment on Trevor's recent publicity.
Today industry publication Variety posted a couple articles on Trevor: one for Boaz Yakin's film Max which focuses specifically on the director's camaraderie with Trevor and why he chose Trevor to score the film:
“He gets a visceral impression. You show him a scene, he goes, ‘Wait, I have an idea,’ he’ll play a few notes, you look at it together with the picture on the screen — and this combination of notes actually does support the image. It’s a beautiful thing to see.”
In another article for the We Are Movie Geeks website, Yakin commented:
“I love Trevor. He’s a real emotional guy, and his scores where he’s asked to do real action-types, he always wants to work on emotional pieces. I knew he was right for this movie – it needed an adventure theme as well as an emotional sound that was genuine. This is the first time we’ve worked together since Titans and I was thrilled that he could do it. We worked very hard on it and I’m proud of it.”
Also posted today was an interview from the June 22nd issue of Variety, with a nice photo of Trevor posing in The Jacaranda Room with his signature TR20 guitar. The article covers a range of subjects, but also raises the discussion of touring once more (though we Rabinites reserve the right to be skeptical until Our Trev actually commits to live performance).
Interestingly the new series mentioned which Trevor is scoring is not Blood and Oil but rather Agent X, a presidential drama starting Sharon Stone set to premiere on TNT in the fall.
