TranceAddict Forums Archive > Main Forums > Music Discussion Film music, is it really an official category? View this Thread in Original format PDM What is Film Music and what kind of moods represent it? Or any type of song that gets synchronized with visuals belongs to this category? even if it is a Rock, Jazz or Orchestral song? I ask because I'm looking for these types of songs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etwWTKKKshc Listen starting 0:40 minutes or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHAvjaHtlMA The problem is that I can't find a right category for these type of songs, where I can look for and buy. MrJiveBoJingles You might want to look at the list of examples here: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/OneWomanWail :p PDM Will check it out. Here is another example of what I'm looking for. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDyi_iyQZSc What type of music is this? Film Music, Classical, World? or what?

Film Music, Classical, World? or what? Sounds like new age. Heard anything from Enigma? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3Ag4Tnbhck PDM I'm a big time fan of Enigma. So you'd say that most of the music that is used in films, well the type I'm looking for, can be found under New Age? Noisician dude, that's just world music, optionally with some ambient and/or ethereal elements. e.g., everything by irfan: or celtic music: ...or maybe even some neoclassical darkwave as well: really, there's loads of stuff like that out there. SMC Lisa Gerrard Dead Can Dance Check out Lisa Gerrard's recent collaborations with Klaus Schulze, an interesting marriage of spaced out krautronica and... Lisa Gerrard.

Lisa Gerrard. personally, didn't like farscape at all. résumé: mr. schulze banged some keys on his synth, with a mooing lisa gerrard as a nifty bonus. pugh!

It didn't relly blow me away either, it felt a little drawn-out and could have been condensed into something more memorable. However it's not bad in any particular way, only slightly boring. I might enjoy it more on another occasion. PDM @Noisician That last "video" musis was pretties, and the first one the most dramatic. Thanks for the examples. :) @SMC I've been checking Lisa Gerrard's work, she seems to be involved in what I'm looking for, plus she has worked with Hans Zimmer, that should say something. :) Noisician quote: Originally posted by SMC It didn't relly blow me away either, it felt a little drawn-out and could have been condensed into something more memorable.
