BLUMENKOHL 1,068 Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 You've acquired millions of dollars and have used it all to take a trip to space on a private planeshuttle. You board the shuttle, and prepare for lift off....you lift off and afer a few seconds you look up, and where once was blue, there is now the blackness of space with twinkling stars, and below you, your home planet.What music or lack there of is playing as you:1. Board the Shuttle2. The Countdown Begins3. You lift off4. The moments the sky turns to space. And optional for the daring:BONUS: As your happy trips turns to disaster and you are crashing back to Earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoodMusician 56 Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 I really like this! We should do more of these!1. Board the Shuttle - "Crucial Rendezvous" from Deep Impact2. The Countdown Begins - "Good to Go" from Contact 3. You lift off - "Anakin Takes Off" Star Wars Episode I 4. The moments the sky turns to space. - "No Words" ContactSpace Walk: "The Reading" from Fahrenheit 451 BONUS: "Trapped Lovers" Towering Inferno (or maybe "Reaching the Country" War of the Worlds / "The Helicopter Explodes" Towering Inferno )I've actually put this all in a playlist and listened to it... and it works really well :-p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Holdo 16 Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 1. Board the ShuttleEither Fanfare for the Common Man, or the first 53 seconds of Breaking The Sound Barrier. If I'm in a minimalist mood, then a simple drum ostinato.2. The Countdown BeginsNothing - the suspense would build up by itself, without musical accompaniment.3. You lift offJupiter, the Bringer of Jollility (up to about 2:45 in, before it gets to the 'noble' solo horn movement)4. The moments the sky turns to space. Space - The Right Stuff (the promo album)Space itself would be accompanied by Also Spake Zathurasta (think Star Baby)And optional for the daring:BONUS: As your happy trips turns to disaster and you are crashing back to Earth.Crash Landing - Planet of the Apes (the first 20 or so seconds of it, anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admiral Holdo 16 Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 He does bring up a good point though... if you have enough money for tickets on a shuttle, you probably have enough to hire the top film composer in the world to write 20 minutes of music for you.

BLUMENKOHL 1,068 Posted August 11, 2007 Author Share Posted August 11, 2007 Well assuming that the said composer is dead by the time you're taking a trip to the stars. Or will not do it because you're not Spielberg or Lucas.Or because he's already made his big check and you can't offer him much. Or he's senile.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 I don't wanna go to space listening to the Moog stylings of a mixed up tranny!For the lift of I'd probably go for Neodammerung, mainly because it's the only track loud enough to be heard over the sound of millions of kilo's or rocket fuel igniting.

Admiral Holdo 16 Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 That's why I put Jupiter in mine. (originally had the bombastic rythym in Mars for the Bonus track, but I think Goldsmith's Crash Landing makes for better terror at the face of death.Mixed up tranny? Way to be accepting, Steef. Both Wendy and Moog synths get a bad rep as I see it (it worked in Clockwork, didn't it?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
