RichF Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 (edited) I have a general love of soundtracks and indeed non-soundtracks that sound like soundtracks (thinking of Goldfrapp etc). I have also seen a couple of films played with live musical accompaniment including a version of 1922 Nosferatu. This totally blew me away. I then saw this recently featuring Hans Zimmer and Johnny Marr (starts properly at 7:30) [media]http://youtu.be/DxdQH8RkcsI[/media] Superb and something I would like to get into, odd as that seems given who I am and where I am, i.e., nobody, nowhere. Anyone out there involved in soundtracks and got any stories to tell, advice to give. I see that a local college does a music for films course. The live bit is extra I suppose to just scoring but still I think it's an interesting and underused multimedia experience. (hope this is OK in this forum?)

Cosmo Valdemar Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 This is something I've wanted to do for a long time, specifically with silent films. Just never had the time to get it off the ground. I saw The Kronos Quartet playing Glass' soundtrack to Dracula, but it didn't really work as the print of the film they used was in a bit of a state, the dialogue was very muffled.

Bilbo Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I saw Bill Frisell do a gig at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London playing to 3 Buster Keaton movies. Interesting but I am not that big a fan of black and white movies like that so it was not a life changing experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
