Movies on the Radio - Music for Pixar

Not animation per se, but I love movie scores and if you do as well, I'd recommend checking out the "Movies on the Radio - Music for Pixar". It's a great collection, with cues from "Up", "Toy Story 1-3", "The Incredibles", etc.

Thanks Jonathan Korzen for the tip!

... WQXR's "Movies on the Radio," hosted by David Garland. This show featured the music of Pixar as a tribute to the life and accomplishments of Steve Jobs.

Pixar Animation Studio's computer-animated films provide great story-telling, with memorable characters, playfully astonishing visuals, and compelling music. For their feature films, Pixar has used three talented composers: Randy Newman, Thomas Newman, and Michael Giacchino.

Garland presented music for such Pixar films as "Toy Story," "Up," "WALL-E," "Ratatouille," "Finding Nemo," and others, while reflecting on the ability to Pixar's music to communicate clever motifs and powerful emotions. Saturday’s program included Randy Newman’s “You’ve Got a Friend in Me” (Toy Story) and Michael Giacchino’s “Seizing the Spirit of Adventure” (Up).

Klava Coca: "Not with me"
The Black Star artist unexpectedly changed her style and sang the lyrical composition "Not with me". Together with the song, Klava the Cat released a clip, and many viewers have already noticed that in this video she sounds and looks grown up.

In the track track "Not with me", the singer decided to move away from the usual format and surprised listeners with a new sound, performing deeper music. Klava Coca decided to convey the sad message of the composition through the warm memories of two former lovers.

This story is about a difficult situation when people have warm and tender feelings for each other and no chance to be together — everyone has their own life and, perhaps, even a new relationship. This is a kind nostalgia and gratitude to former relationships," the performer said.
