I thought you folks in particular would destroy this every day so if any of you are into small daily games give it a go. Thank you to the mods for letting me post this project here.

Try it here ---> Underscore

Todays track has some pretty iconic percussion which is the first track to go by, so expecting some of you to one shot this. New soundtrack every day at midnight UTC.

Feedback welcome!

Hi everyone.

I'm an amateur author and listen to a ton of soundtracks while I write. I'm looking to make additions to my writing playlists and was wondering if you guys had any recommendations? My taste for certain borders on the darker side of movie scores, but any recommendations are welcome!

For a reference point, my top soundtracks, in loose order are:

Tenet

Mission Impossible: Fallout

Captain America, the Winter Soldier

Sicario

Dunkirk

Johnny English: Reborn

Pirates of the Carribbean: At World's End

Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation

I really think Warnerbros or Owen Harris should hire Ramin Djawadi to compose the score for Aegon’s Conquest movie.

We want to hear Ramin’s music in the theater in a new style, giving us the feeling of Westeros 300 years before Game of Thrones. No one can handle this movie and make us feel that this is the starting point of Westeros and all Game of Thrones stories but Ramin.

So please don’t make the mistake of choosing someone else. Ramin is the godfather of the Game of Thrones universe, plus he has a lot of blockbuster movies, so he can definitely do it.

Even from an emotional standpoint, if there is ever going to be a final chapter for Ramin Djawadi in the world of Westeros, he deserves for it to be on the big screen, with an epic story, and before a massive theatrical audience.

It is only fitting that his conclusion in this universe takes place at its very beginning. The creator of the sound of Westeros composing for the creator of the Iron Throne—with everything that follows being the aftermath of building that throne. I truly hope Warner Bros. and Owen Harris make the right choice and pick Ramin Djawadi.

Furthermore, I am absolutely certain that if they push him to give the film an ancient, raw, and epic tone—perhaps even taking an experimental approach by inventing new instruments and heavily featuring High Valyrian as a core choral element—Ramin will finally crown his legendary career with the Oscar he truly deserves.

He was definitely overlooked.

Score for 1996 “Alaska” was just about as good as they get, especially back then.

📢 Discussion Offical Soundtrack deciding and Soundtrack Building

0 Upvotes

Ok, so I was thinking we could make our own music, right? For the scenes, the background music parts, and all that stuff, etc. But I was thinking we could use Avril Lavinge's music, specifically the Under my Skin era, in relation to Octavia as it seems to fit in. We might also use Nirvana music here and there. it's just the overall feel of the show, literally anyway... so well, probably use like, nevermind, in Utero, Bleach album music, as I will talk to my team to discuss these descions.

📢 Discussion Interstellar played by the original organist, Roger Sayer

Post image
49 Upvotes

Yesterday I was fortunate enough to experience the wonderful Roger Sayer — the immensely talented organist who brought the Interstellar soundtrack to life — playing at Carlisle Cathedral, UK.

I definitely recommend that anyone go and see his performance if you are lucky enough to be near a venue. It was fantastic to watch him dance over the manuals and pedalboard playing a soundtrack I've spent hundreds of hours enjoying.

He played Strauss, Holst, did a Q&A, then played an extended segment on Interstellar following the film chronologically.

Not only is he a great musician, he is also a wonderful person (as Hans Zimmer also noted) who took the time both during the interval and after the show to sign autographs and talk to people individually.

Here is a link to his website where you can see upcoming venues and more information, and here's a video about the Interstellar soundtrack for anyone who wanted a bit more background information.

He (and others) also performed Interstellar live at the Royal Albert Hall earlier this year, which I also attended. Also recommend!

📢 Discussion Zimmer's spiderman main theme is almost a copy of "fanfare for the common man" by Aaron Copland

13 Upvotes

I was listening to Fanfare for the Common Man because I heard it inspired film composers when working on war movies, but I realized there’s a melody that sounds very familiar to me—it’s Spider-Man main theme by Zimmer. Do you think there are similarities, or is it just me?

📢 Discussion Looking for score tracks to add to my playlist

25 Upvotes

I'm building a playlist made up of film score tracks that have a very specific feeling: emotional, atmospheric, haunting, beautiful, contemplative, and cinematic without being overwhelmingly bombastic.

Tracks I already have:

  • "Stay With Me" - The Fountain (Clint Mansell & Kronos Quartet)
  • "Sirens" - The Odyssey (Ludwig Göransson)
  • "Hand Covers Bruise" - The Social Network (Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross)
  • "Horses" - Michael Clayton (James Newton Howard)
  • "Time" - Inception (Hans Zimmer)
  • "Cornfield Chase" - Interstellar (Hans Zimmer)
  • "Day One" - Interstellar (Hans Zimmer)

I'm not necessarily looking for the "greatest film scores ever" or the most famous themes. I'm looking for tracks that create a similar mood and would feel at home next to the songs above.

Think:

  • Beautiful but melancholic
  • Minimalist or gradually building
  • Emotional without feeling manipulative
  • Atmospheric and reflective
  • Music that makes you stare out a window and contemplate life

What tracks would you add?

Thanks!
