ジム・ドゥーリー（ストレンジャー・コール、プッシング・デイジー ～恋するパイメーカー～、ザ・ラストシップ）が彼のフィルモグラフィーの様々なプロジェクトのために作曲した音楽を収録したTHE JIM DOOLEY COLLECTION, VOLUME 1がリリース！ THE JIM DOOLEY COLLECTION, VOLUME 1の冒頭を飾るのは、ドゥーリィがメルセデス・ベンツのために作曲を依頼されたインダストリアル・フィルム「The Mercedes-Benz Axor」の音楽だ。このインダストリアル・フィルムはプロモーション用に使われるもので、問題のトラックのショットが使われている。
Dragon’s Domain Records presents THE JIM DOOLEY COLLECTION, VOLUME 1, featuring music composed by Jim Dooley (WHEN A STRANGER CALLS, PUSHING DAISIES, THE LAST SHIP) for various projects from his filmography.
THE JIM DOOLEY COLLECTION, VOLUME 1 opens with music from an industrial film Dooley was hired to score for Mercedes-Benz, entitled ‘The Mercedes-Benz Axor. The industrial film was meant to be used for promotional purposes and featured shots of the truck in question.
The hit television series COSMOS based on the writings of author Carl Sagan was successfully rebooted in 2014 by Seth MacFarlane, Brannon Braga, Mitchell Cannold and Ann Druyan, featuring astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson as the host. When COSMOS went into production, two composers were brought in to pen scores for each episode?one of them was Jim Dooley who was tasked to produce a series of themes that best demonstrated his proposed prescription to scoring the series. His demos were a huge hit with the producers. However, there was one alarming issue. The composer was already temporarily employed by the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Baily Circus, preventing Dooley from accepting a role as composer for Cosmos. His demos for COSMOS are presented on this album for the very first time.
Also included on this album are a smattering of rare tracks from obscure projects early in Dooley’s career. UNTITLED: 003-EMBRYO was a short film directed by Mike Goedecke. The plot centers around a certified agoraphobic who receives a wooden box with items inside and promise to fulfill his deepest fantasies if he feeds five dreams to a grotesque creature stored within the machine. The entire score is presented here.
A collection of cues from the made-for-television sci-fi comedy AREA 52 appear next. AREA 52 was directed by Dooley’s college friend Adam Turner and starred Fred Savage. The plot revolved around a group of rag-tag government agents not good enough to guard Area 51 so they are assigned to the lesser Area 52. Hilarity ensues when they stumble into a legit mission requiring their services to help save the world.
The final selection on the album is the entire orchestral score for Dreamworks’ animated short film FIRST FLIGHT about a fastidiously organized businessman whose perspective on life is forever changed through an unexpected encounter with a fledgling bird.

ジム・ドゥーリー（ストレンジャー・コール、プッシング・デイジー ～恋するパイメーカー～、ザ・ラストシップ）が彼のフィルモグラフィーの様々なプロジェクトのために作曲した音楽を収録したTHE JIM DOOLEY COLLECTION, VOLUME 1がリリース！
トラックリストTHE JIM DOOLEY COLLECTION, VOLUME 1の冒頭を飾るのは、ドゥーリィがメルセデス・ベンツのために作曲を依頼されたインダストリアル・フィルム「The Mercedes-Benz Axor」の音楽だ。このインダストリアル・フィルムはプロモーション用に使われるもので、問題のトラックのショットが使われている。
作家カール・セーガンの著作を基にした大ヒットテレビシリーズ『コスモス』は、2014年にセス・マクファーレン、ブラノン・ブラガ、ミッチェル・キャノルド、アン・ドルヤンによってリブートされ、宇宙物理学者のニール・デ・グラッセ・タイソンが司会を務めた。『コスモス』の制作が始まると、各エピソードのスコアを書くために2人の作曲家が招かれた。そのうちの1人がジム・ドゥーリーで、彼が提案するシリーズのスコアリングの処方箋を最もよく示す一連のテーマを制作するよう命じられた。彼のデモはプロデューサーたちに大好評だった。しかし、ひとつ憂慮すべき問題があった。その作曲家はすでにリングリング・ブラザーズ＆バーナム＆ベイリー・サーカスに一時的に雇用されており、ドゥーリーは『コスモス』の作曲家を引き受けることができなかったのだ『コスモス』のための彼のデモは、このアルバムで初めて披露される。
また、このアルバムには、ドゥーリー初期の無名プロジェクトからのレアトラックも含まれている。『UNTITLED: 003-EMBRYO』はマイク・ゲデッケ監督の短編映画。筋書きの中心となるのは、あがり症と認定された男が、中にアイテムが入った木箱を受け取り、機械の中に格納されたグロテスクなクリーチャーに5つの夢を与えれば、彼の最も深いファンタジーを叶えてくれると約束する。ここでは全曲を紹介する。
続いて、テレビ用SFコメディ『AREA 52』のキュー集が登場する。『AREA 52』はドゥーリー監督の大学時代の友人アダム・ターナーが監督し、フレッド・サヴェージが主演した。筋書きは、エリア51の警備には不十分なため、より劣悪なエリア52に配属されたゴロツキの政府エージェントたちを中心に展開する。そんな彼らが、世界を救うための合法的なミッションに出くわすと、笑いが起こる。
アルバムの最後を飾るのは、ドリームワークスの短編アニメーション『FIRST FLIGHT』のオーケストラ・スコア。
ジム・ドゥーリーは、映画、テレビ、ビデオゲーム、劇場ライブなど、多彩なレパートリーを持つエミー賞受賞作曲家／作詞家である。ソロ活動だけでなく、ハンス・ジマー、クリスティン・チェノウェス、ベイビーフェイスなど、音楽界の一流アーティストとのコラボレーションでも高い評価を得ている。ドゥーリー氏はニューヨーク大学を卒業後、学位取得と同時にロサンゼルスに移り、USCのSMPTVプログラムで映画音楽の作曲技術を学び、伝説的な作曲家クリストファー・ヤング、エルマー・バーンスタイン、レナード・ローゼンマンらと共演した。1999年にメディア・ベンチャーズ（現リモートコントロール・プロダクション）に入社し、『ダ・ヴィンチ・コード』、『パイレーツ・オブ・カリビアン／呪われた海賊たち』、『リング』などでハンス・ジマーと共演。ドゥーリーは現在、CWのヒット番組「ＷＡＬＫＥＲ／ウォーカー」の作曲家である。
