His knowledge of Octatonic Scales is what makes his Scores stand out amongst the others, he's a musical genius plain and simple, much respect.

[@mikeontheisland]

He's right. The biggest scope we get is the Lyon Estates construction site and it's just an empty field.

[@moow950]

Alan composed and orchestrated the most loved movie trilogy in the world: Back to The Future! Bravo!!!!

[@issiewizzie]

This should be a case study for composition schools .... This man should the master class

[@starlodear2987]

The score is so intricate and emotional. It deserved an Oscar.

[@chance3771]

One of the all-time great film themes by one of the all-time great composers. Nuff said. 🎬🎼

[@CrypticCharm]

the best theme from of the greatest film trilogies ever

[@root_-we7wt]

Such a great score, and even better composer. My favorite film he's scored is Cast Away.

@@tylergarrett7572 The abyss is great, but I think Forest Gump was just as good.

[@stewartmoore5158]

I've never thought about it as a song before. This is facinating to hear him describe it like that.

LEGEND

[@andrewware1942]

This goes from being able to create great music, to being able to understand and explain it through words. Very well done!

[@geoffstockton]

I’m sitting here working out a solo guitar arrangement of the BTTF score. It’s been…educational.

[@Valiant_Thor_03]

Amazing composer

[@iceomistar4302]

Steven Spielberg didn't think Alan Silvestri was able to write the kind of music Zemeckis wanted so during a editing session Zemeckis changed the music from the temp to real score and Spielberg was finally won over

[@gabrield.cstoica1832]

is one legend and one Great Composer...

[@fredrikjelkefors9336]

Its three composer gods for me 1.John Williams 2.Alan Silvestri 3. Danny Elfman

[@martinpalladino2191]

Extraordinario !!!

[@cymusicoff]

Awesome thank you for that!

[@DSkehan2004]

I was surprised he composed the score to the Avengers films.

[@ScottSullivanTV]

I wanted to hear how he adapted it to a western feel for Part III too.

[@SteVanPvt]
