Director's Notes...

My favorites are Conan and Farewell to the King. These are lush melodic scores with enough music in there for five movies. There are enough themes for five movies and they're particularly gorgeous scores, which you can listen to forever.

Basil has a vast amount of creativity, so he has much to draw from. He can come up with a lot of different things and throw them away. Nothing is precious, there's lots coming from the fountain.

Most writers and most composers are very precious and very careful about their work because they get it all down there and they write it down on three by three cards and stuff, writers anyway. It's all very precious because they took so much time to create it. It doesn't take Basil anytime to create something, it's there.
