Further
to the initial CD issue of the Morton Gould composed soundtrack to Cinerama
"Windjammer" in 2013, additional audio masters were found and restored for
the 2018 DVD release. It is this enhanced and remixed to glorious stereo
soundtrack issued on this CD release. Jack Shaindlin conducting The
Cinemiracle Symphony Orchestra.
Sepia’s original 2013 release of Morton Gould’s iconic “Windjammer” score
and studio LP release was a major accomplishment in many ways. First, we had
the good fortune to acquire audio tapes of the scoring sessions of the
"Windjammer" film from Dick and Roger Pietchmann whose father Richard was
the recording engineer of the film. Recorded in a Bronx NY theater, the Mt.
Eden, which was converted to act as a scoring stage complete with
Cinemiracle projection. The reels of audio tape were in good shape but
unfortunately without any notes or cue sheets. There were no indications of
“buy takes”, just bits and pieces, so we had no idea which take went with
what. We had more than three hours of tape and had to painstakingly edit the
score by using a very poor video of the film and sound track available in
the open market as a template. Simultaneously,
Dave Strohmaier at Cinerama
was salvaging through a poor 35mm scope composite of the film at Modern
Video Film in Burbank in the hopes of mastering it as an acceptable video
release. He also had a 35mm multi track seven channel recording of the score
with effects and narration to marry to the video image. We tried to use that
same audio as we thought it may be helpful in continuity of music, but this
turned out to be fruitless due to sound quality issues. After almost three
months of assembly we had the complete Gould music score. The fidelity was
comparable to the studio LP recording that Columbia Records issued which was
going to be included in the 2-CD 2013 Sepia release. As it turned out the CD
package was very well received by the movie score collectors but we
encountered feedback from some that the CD lacked “impact” or dynamics which
they felt was a disappointment from what they remembered when they
originally heard it in the theater.
In 2017 Dave and the Cinerama team along with the help of FotoKem came up
with a cost effective method of digitally scanning 35mm 6-perf. Cinerama /
Cinemiracle film resulting in the cutting of the cost to less than 50% from
prior methods. This was a major breakthrough! With this knowledge Dave
decided to go through the process of cataloging all of the “Windjammer” film
elements and see if he had a complete 3-stip film inventory. It included
camera negatives, dupe negatives, inter-positives and prints, allowing him
to assemble a quality 3-strip digital file along with a restored 5.1 audio
soundtrack! When I heard about this new hi-def scanning process and the
quality it was going to deliver, which was a high definition image in Dave’s
Smile Box process replicating the Cinemiracle experience, I was excited. I
then thought that maybe this was the time to revisit the 2013 Gould
soundtrack and studio LP to explore how we could elevate the sound
performance. We would try to satisfy the past purchasers of the Gould score
as well as entice new buyers with advanced state of the art techniques not
available just a few years ago. So with the support of Sepia Records and the
relentless ingenuity of sound engineer John Polito at Audio Mechanics we
found ways to significantly improve sound fidelity, reduce tape hiss, open
up the stereo imaging and enhance the sound dynamics or as I call it the
“Cinemiracle punch.” The next task was to improve the dynamics of the studio
LP with the same tools we employed with the Gould film score, especially the
stereo imaging and the “Cinemiracle punch.” When we completed the mastering
we discovered that we had enough space on CD-2 to also include tracks from a
1958 Gould studio album titled “Moon, Wind and Stars” featuring two stereo
“Windjammer” music cues from the film titled “Windjammer”and “Night Watch.
”ENJOY!!!
