On Scoring
In line with Artemis Eternal, I authored a guest article for Nonpretentious.com about modern trends in movie scoring. In the version they published this morning, they included an introduction to the article which takes a look at Artemis, too. Read, watch and listen...
. . .
The subject I receive the most mail about””not solely from the population involved with the project, but from civilians, too””is my plans for the scoring of Artemis Eternal. A selection from the latest letter, for example:
“So many scores are awful or by one of the same three composers and they all sound the same. I don”™t know what your plans are, but music is an integral part of film so I hope you”™ll take it seriously.”¯
Seriously, serious fans are serious. And, greatly concerned! While it”™s amusing that they”™d tell me something that every professional filmmaker ought to know (and act upon), they”™re absolutely right about the importance of music in a motion picture and the fact that studio scoring is often predictable while independent film scoring is sometimes sub par.
Thus, in harmony with those interests and concerns, I thought it wise to create a mix tape themed around the techniques found in modern film scoring and soundtrack.
The majority of these songs were on the playlist that I listened to while writing the screenplay for The Silver Legacy (the exceptions being those that were not yet released at the time of writing), as well as Artemis Eternal. Other compositions are points of study and frustration, or curiosities in cinematic trending that attracted my attention. Headphones on, if you please, and off we go!
