With his classical and modern training, Jerry Goldsmith approaches drama with ease and originality, through styles as diverse as Jazz, symphony and ethnic atmospheres. But it is with a certain instrumental minimalism that he will achieve feats.
A sound, a combination of instruments, an effect, even silence, everything is exploitable for invention!
For the young Goldsmith, the orchestral mass is not always required. Without a solid idea, creation does not hold and aware of the musical revival in Hollywood, he has no choice but to innovate to get noticed.
Rhythm is his strong point, even signature, but it also gives a warm color to his themes. The young composer perfectly masters the image/sound synchronization which will allow him to easily put his ideas into place.
At 30, Jerry is a hard worker, even at night,ready to give everything to be the great composer of tomorrow, his sound field then becomes a veritable garden of experimentation.
On the borders of atonal at its beginnings, its stylistic directives are clear and oriented. Audacity and musical intelligence will make the difference, and of him, a precocious genius.
