Definitely, yes, but music is for everyone, and so you can talk about it with whatever vocabulary you have.    Posted:   May 12, 2008 - 12:11 PM     By:   SchiffyM   (Member) music is for everyone, and so you can talk about it with whatever vocabulary you have. Indeed, but words often fail. Or at least it's intimidating. Yes, you can describe an emotional response (made me cry, got me pumped) or a basic musical term (loud, electronic), but I see why it doesn't happen that much. I think you're right, Thor, it's something to aspire to. But I see it said here often that we're all a bunch of freaks for discussing availability (or lack) more than the actual music. I don't think that's necessarily a sign of bad character, but rather a difficulty articulating one's response to music. Dates, prices, and labels are easily defined and discussed. Music is much more abstract, unless you have more specific knowledge.    Posted:   May 12, 2008 - 1:06 PM     By:   haineshisway   (Member) It's a fine piece of music, which was equally fine when Mr. Ifukube first did it. Seriously, it's a nice homage to Mr. Ifukube - nothing more, nothing less.    Posted:   May 14, 2008 - 1:48 AM     By:   calvin69   (Member) Isn't that funny ? The point of this (my) thread was to prove on the example of CLOVERFIELD's fine music that today's film music is much worse than yesterday's. If only this single great track generates such an amount of discussion the conclusion must be that everything else is worse (because of the lack of discussion). Everyone responded stating that the track is only discussed so much because it was unreleased up to now and not many cared for the point I tried to make. And now another thread pops up where everyone is confirming what I tried to say: http://www.filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=50557&forumID=1&archive=0 Looks like I was right after all...    Posted:   May 14, 2008 - 4:37 PM     By:   Thor   (Member) I think you're right, Thor, it's something to aspire to.

Music is much more abstract, unless you have more specific knowledge. Yeah, but we have ONE great advantage: it's music written for FILM. Hence we can have many discussions on how the music interacts with the visuals. These can range from regular everyday talk to academic treatises. Both are necessary and none require a musical education! Isn't that nice?    Posted:   May 14, 2008 - 10:13 PM     By:   antipodean   (Member) These can range from regular everyday talk to academic treatises. Both are necessary and none require a musical education! Isn't that nice? I've always thought it's a myth that one needs a "musical education" to enjoy music (esp music involving people wearing suits.) As a commercial product, film music is (by definition) written for the masses to enjoy - although whether the end result is accessible/digestible/enjoyable is, of course, another matter altogether, and the individual reaction to each work is, ultimately, up to the individual.    Posted:   May 14, 2008 - 11:49 PM     By:   SchiffyM   (Member) Of course one doesn't need a degree to enjoy music. I don't think anybody's ever said such a thing, so I don't know where a myth like that would come from. What we're talking about here is the knowledge to articulate one's reaction to a piece of music, and the technical know-how to identify instrumentation and musical form. This is quite a separate thing from enjoyment or appreciation. It is simply about how one communicates, on a board such as this one, one's reaction to something he's heard.    Posted:   Mar 1, 2017 - 8:19 AM     By:   FP   (Member) https://soundcloud.com/fabiopirovano/roar    Posted:   Mar 1, 2017 - 9:29 AM     By:   Jason LeBlanc   (Member) You bumped a 9 year old thread to share an illegal SoundCloud stream of the end credits music?    Posted:   Mar 1, 2017 - 4:21 PM     By:   FP   (Member) You bumped a 9 year old thread to share an illegal SoundCloud stream of the end credits music? Why open another one thread when theres anything you need.. just type on Search Terms..did you know? Illigal? Not less than you awful comment..Nobody is making money with that but I thought could be great listen this masterpiece However , sometimes silence is the best way to do    Posted:   Mar 1, 2017 - 4:25 PM     By:   FP   (Member) You bumped a 9 year old thread to share an illegal SoundCloud stream of the end credits music?

Not less than you awful comment..Nobody is making money with that It is a common misperception that piracy without financial gain is somehow legal. It is not.     General Discussion: An interesting observation on CLOVERFIELD music    << < 1 2  >   Go to page:  1 2   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2
