In September 2006, super-busy composer Michael Giacchino and his team were at the Newman Scoring Stage at 20th Century Fox, recording his score to the holiday romantic-comedy, The Family Stone. The ensemble film, written and directed by Thomas Bezucha, stars Craig T. Nelson, Diane Keaton, Rachel McAdams, Luke Wilson, Sarah Jessica Parker, Dermot Mulroney, and many more.
Giacchino's score is wide-ranging, playing off the holiday cheer (sleighbells!) as well as touching the heart with an emotional musical core. Giacchino was working with his usual team, including veteran score mixer, Dan Wallin, and conductor/orchesrator Tim Simonec. The large 75 piece orchestra was having fun, as Simonec kept the mood light with his unique brand of humor. Music editor Alex Levy and Digital Performer guru Chad Seiter provided support as well.
