    Pre-Movie Music

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I am trying to make a CD (or two) of film music like they play before a movie during the advertisements in some theaters. In my experience it usually isn't anything really well-known, just so that it doesn't create too specific a mood to alter your "pre-conceptions" of the movie your about to see. I have some of the generic stuff like "I believe her" from Contact, "My name is Robert Neville" from I Am Legend and stuff like that. Any reccomendations of other generic film music that sets a "theatrical" mood would be greatly appreciated. I also can't think of too much action music that doesn't scream this or that franchise, so anything in that department would be cool too. Thanks a lot!

    BTW, this is for my home theater that I am overly obsessed with.

    Neccesary Scores

    I'm actually a classically trained musician, and my classical music collection is pretty large. Your right the Firebird is a great piece. Thanks for the suggestion about HOOK, though. Yeah, everyone pretty much says that one is a must. Thanks again.

    Neccesary Scores

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Hello Everybody,

    I was wondering if anyone could give me their "absolutely neccesary" score/soundtrack list. I love film music, and have a very modest collection, and there are many, many I would like to get, but if you guys could help me prioritize, that would be great! Here is a list of what I already have:

    Doyle: HPGOF

    Eragon

    Sense and Sensibility

    Giacchino: Star Trek

    Gregson-Williams: Narnia - Prince Caspian

    Newton Howard: The Village

    Ottman: Superman Returns

    Rosza: Ben-Hur (2-cd set)

    Shore: Fellowship, Two Towers, Return of the King Complete Recordings box sets (My Holy Grails)

    Williams: E.T.

    Empire of the Sun

    Harry Potter 1-3

    Indiana Jones 1-4 (Music of Indiana Jones box set)

    Jurassic Park

    Minority Report

    Saving Private Ryan

    Schindler's List

    Star Wars Ep. 1-6

    The Lost World: Jurassic Park

    War of the Worlds

    Preference is for Williams (of course...) but I also like Newton Howard and Giacchino's sound. I generally dislike synthesizers and anything written by Hans Zimmer. I don't own any Goldsmith (gasp) so a list perhaps of his best would be nice, too. Thanks so much in advance to anybody who responds. BTW, this is the best message board on the internet.

    P.S. I am a poor incoming collegiate freshman...

    Obtaining Game Music

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I have been away for a very long time, so please forgive me if this has been asked before; I couldn't find it anywhere. How exactly does one obtain the music from a video game? I have Battlefront II specifically in mind. It would be great if I could get some of the unreleased music off of there. BTW, I'm running Windows 7, if that is pertinent to any instructions. Thanks so much!

    New Williams TV theme

    Well,I hope a clean version plays in 15 minutes over the End Credits...I'll be recording .I have to sit through this boring play now.

    Don't insult Shakespeare. King Lear is really quite a fascinating play, if only you would take the time to understand it.

    Oh yes, the music was top rate, as usual.

    Minority Report or A.I.

    I'm trying to decide which score to buy (because of funds, both are not possible at once); A.I. or Minority Report. Which do you think is better? Let me know...

    BTW, I forgot to say that these would be blind buys, because I've never heard them before.

    Movie Pirating

    I used to be a chronic LimeWire guy. I quite about a year ago for two reasons:

    a) The quality of the music was absolutely horrible (I am an audiophile...)

    b) It was illegal

    I downloaded 178 entire albums from LimeWire, burned them to Cds and everything.

    I have since sent all those Cds through the shredder, and file shredded the files on my computer.

    Hmm, I can understand your change of heart on the 'depriving someone of the reward' point. But c'mon, it doesn't take 178 downloads and disc burnings to have a revelation that it's illegal. If the quality 'had' been great, I suspect you 'might' still be downloading. It wasn't great, and you also felt some guilt, so you ditched your CDs and shredded your files. I don't think your change of heart was about the legality side of things really. It doesn't take 178 downloads and CD burns to realize that one.

    While the quality may have tipped me a little, I think it was when by brother became a cop that I really thought about it again. Plus, my piano teacher is always talking to me about copyright stuff, like "I am going to let you borrow this, but don't you dare make a copy", then she gives a really good argument about it. It's illegal, stop trying to justify it. There is such a think as copyright OWNERSHIP.
