Composed in 2011, “Alternative Energy” was commissioned by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, which performed it last year at Davies Symphony Hall in San Francisco, under the baton of Riccardo Muti. That performance was even heftier than this one — bigger orchestra, better acoustics, more impact — but this was pretty darn good. Film composer Thomas Newman, whose “It Got Dark” was performed earlier in the program, is an elegant craftsman and shaper of sounds — and, like Bates, an integrator of his own “handmade” digital samples into an orchestral setting. He has composed the scores for dozens of films, including “American Beauty,” “The Shawshank Redemption” and “WALL-E.”.

“Secondly — well, actually, there are three points, Secondly, it is just a film, It’s not going to be able to shift perception, It’s a film of its own genre [that’s] not going to be ‘The Hobbit’ or ‘Star Trek.’ It’s not going to have a massively popular tidal-wave effect, I really want people to see it, but his fear of it being some mass propaganda tool that’s going to damage him was really overstretching the point, And thirdly and most importantly, it was never going to be antithetical to his point of view or him or vilify him, No one was interested in portraying something that was going to ballet flats,tabi shoes, leather slippers,barefoot shoes, glove shoes,travel shoes,earthing shoes tell the audience what to think.”..

In that sense, the opening to the “Delicate” video is jarring because it’s an image of Swift no one has seen in awhile: She’s on the red carpet. In the first scene, Swift has a glazed expression as she gazes off in the distance. Then she quickly snaps out it, as reporters shove microphones at her and dozens of camera lights flash in her face. In the chaos, a mysterious figure slips Swift a small piece of paper. This will become important later. Next, Swift walks into a fancy hotel lobby. Everyone turns and stares as she walks by, surrounded by four bodyguards. Swift stops and tries to take a selfie with fans, except a crazed bellhop tries to grab her before security intervenes. Rolling her eyes, Swift walks away in the middle of her security team, as they shadow her every move.
