Transformers Universe 1

A follow up to Silva Screen’s Music From The Transformers Trilogy album from 2011. Firmly established as the soundtrack composer for the Transformers movie franchise, Steve Jablonsky delivers joyful fast-paced music, a mixture of orchestral and electronic sound, heavily laced with percussion. Starting in the 1980's with Hasbro’s Transformers line of toys and cartoons spanning a short few seasons on television before the animated 1986 film, the Transformers universe was given a new lease of life in 2007 with Michael Bay’s blockbuster movie. Bay has made the best choice for the franchise in bringing on board Steve Jablonsky, Hans Zimmer’s acolyte, to write the scores. Jablonsky cleverly abandoned the electronic music signature of the original 80’s TV Series in favour of a complex and well rounded, thematically connected score. Jablonsky brings the franchise up to date by featuring a daring mix of electronic sounds and traditional orchestral textures, and his score strikes a nice balance between the film's blustering sci-fi and its more earthly concerns.

This series helps teachers demystify physics by showing students what it looks like. Field trips to hot-air balloon events, symphony concerts, bicycle shops, and other locales make complex concepts more accessible. Inventive computer graphics illustrate abstract concepts such as time, force, and capacitance, while historical re-enactments of the studies of Newton, Leibniz, Maxwell, and others trace the evolution of theories.
