Last year, he won an Emmy Award for his sound work on Peter Jackson&#8217;s The Beatles: Get Back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">IMDB states that he&#8217;s currently based at Park Road Post Production in Wellington &#8212; a facility that&#8217;s owned by Peter Jackson&#8217;s WingNut Films.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The War of the Rohirrim is slated to release on April 12, 2024. Director Kenji Kamiyama is also currently co-directing on the final season of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.animenewsnetwork.com\/encyclopedia\/anime.php?id=25567\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Ultraman<\/a> with Shinji Aramaki which will debut on Netflix sometime in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SPECULATION<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A speculatory post-script. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was idly chatting with TORn staffer Justin about the leak\/confirm and he wondered if the selection of Gallagher could indicate a return to the style of music that was the hallmark of the Rankin Bass animated features. After all, Blunt the Knives in An Unexpected Journey is very much a homage to the sing-along style of the animated Hobbit of 1977.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe class=\"youtube-player lazyload\" width=\"1170\" height=\"659\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pSYZ-5mVRN4?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Personally, I&#8217;m inclined to say no.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I feel that both Blunt the Knives and The Torture Song (as sung by Barry Humphries) owe more to a combination of the children&#8217;s tale-nature of Tolkien&#8217;s novel and the comedic sensibilities of Peter Jackson (Meet the Feebles, anyone?).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the other hand, the tale of Helm Hammerhand is far grimmer. It&#8217;s also a little tempting to add that Kamiyama animes typically play the material straight, but then the quirky Tachikomas (AI spider tanks\/mechs) of the Ghost in the Shell: Standalone Complex animated series are a spectacular outlier. Kamiyama leverages them in multiple ways: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ItJS_enZ-vs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">surreal comics<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=LLvlozh6ysY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">action heroes<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/lNY53tZ2geg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">philosophers<\/a>, and ultimately as beings capable of <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/rbj5EI0yfug\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">self-sacrifice<\/a>. The &#8220;cute&#8221; Tachikoma moments don&#8217;t devalue the serious ones. In fact, they make them more rounded characters (I dare say, more human &#8212; a crucial point to the story Ghost in the Shell explores). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, if Kamiyama <em>could<\/em> see a way that a quirky, lyrically focused tune would serve the needs of the Helm story, he absolutely has the chops to pull it off. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Neverthless, I think it&#8217;s probably better to calibrate musical expectations more in line with the thoroughly grounded nature of Kamiyama&#8217;s acclaimed adapatation of the fantasy story <a href=\"https:\/\/myanimelist.net\/anime\/1827\/Seirei_no_Moribito\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Serei no Moribito<\/a>. If nothing else, it&#8217;s still difficult to get folks to take anime as a serious artform that&#8217;s not &#8220;just for kids&#8221; without hobbling your production with a bunch of cutesy tunes. I&#8217;m surer Warner Bros. will be keenly aware of that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All that being said, we know that Miranda Otto <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vShw-Uj0lZw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">has a very fine singing voice<\/a>. If, as \u00c9owyn, she&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/2022\/06\/28\/113412-exclusive-philippa-boyens-talks-the-war-of-the-rohrrim-with-theonering-net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">relating this tale to someone<\/a> (like her grandchild Barahir) there&#8217;s certainly an opportunity for her to sing in the intro, or some lament as the outro at the end. I like that idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe class=\"youtube-player lazyload\" width=\"1170\" height=\"659\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/heVNb4ureTo?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Moviescore, a site dedicated to tracking film music, reports that New Zealand composer and award-winning music editor Stephen&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":116133,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[95,3925,392],"tags":[1715,3765,1783,2906,4072,221,3644,3774],"class_list":["post-116132","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-lotrrumours","category-the-war-of-the-rohirrim","category-warner-bros","tag-composer","tag-kenji-kamiyama","tag-ost","tag-soundtrack","tag-stephen-gallagher","tag-the-hobbit","tag-war-of-the-rohirrim","tag-warner-bros-animation"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO Pro 4.9.9 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"New Zealand composer Stephen Gallagher has been tapped to score the music for Kenji Kamiyama&#039;s The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"max-image-preview:large\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Demosthenes\"\/>\n\t<meta name=\"keywords\" content=\"composer,kenji kamiyama,ost,soundtrack,stephen gallagher,the hobbit,war of the rohirrim,warner bros. animation,rumours spy news,the war of the rohirrim,warner bros.\" \/>\n\t<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/2023\/02\/07\/116132-stephen-gallagher-to-compose-music-for-the-war-of-the-rohirrim-anime\/\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"generator\" content=\"All in One SEO Pro (AIOSEO) 4.9.9\" \/>\n\t\t<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n\t\t<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Lord of the Rings &amp; Tolkien News - TheOneRing.net Fan Community, since 1999 | Forged by and for fans of J.R.R.
