Down The Deep Dark Web (documentary) - original motion picture soundtrack - music by Frank Ilfman

 


Released in  2016, Down The Deep Dark Web has been described as a Gonzo-style exploration that goes beyond everything you thought you knew about the dangers, and promise, of the Darknet. Hackers, Cypherpunks and crypto-anarchists guide us ever deeper down this rabbit hole, uncovering the hidden light at the bottom of the deep, dark web. It reverses everything you thought you knew about the internet and the dangers of the digital world.

The soundtrack music is composed by Frank Ilfman, a highly talented composer whose music has been captivating audiences for years. With a background in classical music and a deep passion for electronics, Frank creates compositions that are both technically sophisticated and emotionally charged. His music has been described as a blend of new classical and emotional, lush soundscapes that transport listeners to another world.

This score is very electronic with downtempo beats combined with classical themes that make it highly listenable as a stand alone album from the documentary.

Kate & Leopold...music from the motion picture...composed by Rolfe Kent

 

Rolfe Kent provides an outstanding score for this James Mangold(director/screenwriter) story from Steve Rogers(original story/screenwriter). 

With shades of Henry Mancini, various cues take a fun, quirky and comedy with sprinkles of romance, like "Charade" or "Man's Favorite Sport", much like Mancini, Rolfe lends a flavor of JAZZ, WALTZES and even MARCHES, that seems to fit and work...just give a listen to "YOU DID SO GREAT"(Kate's Theme), like something out of another Mancini film "The Great Race". What Rolfe has done for this picture is to give it texture and fabric that pulls off many scenes. So "film-score-buff" collectors, if it's good listening...you've come to the right place for comedy, light and whimsical music...as Henry Mancini lives through Rolfe Kent.

Hero - original motion picture soundtrack - music composed and conducted by Tan Dun

 

Hero (Ying xiong) is the 2002 Chinese wuxia film directed by Zhang Yimou and starring Jet LI as the protagonist. The famous Chinese classical composer and conductor Tan Dun composed the soundtrack to the movie. His mesmerizing score is based around the story of 'The heaven that unites us all'. It's an amazing and deep soundtrack, with a lot of beautiful cues. The violin play of Itzhak Perlman adds another layer to the different compositions. 

On from the captivating main theme the soundtrack fits perfectly with the various moods of the movie. War and love blended with the historical/political/philosophical context. It is a journey you will never forget. 

At the time of Hero's release it was both the most expensive and one of the highest-grossing motion pictures in China. The film is based on the story of Jing Ke's assassination attempt on the King of Qin in 227 BC.

Emma...music from the motion picture...composed and orchestrated by Rachel Portman

 

Rachel Portman's score for Emma is an absolutely perfect fit for the film and won an Academy Award for the composer, a first for a woman in the category. The score is sweet and soothing, at times humorous and at times almost luminous. It is that rare perfect marriage of movie and soundtrack; it's impossible to enjoy one without the other. The light-classical themes perfectly recall the ethereal, good-hearted intentions of Jane Austen's heroine, so enchantingly played by Gwyneth Paltrow. While much of the disc is repetitive, it hardly matters. No one can tire of such beautiful aural pictures.

Master and Commander - The Far Side of the World...music from the motion picture...by Iva Davies, Christopher Gordon and Richard Tognetti

 

A trio of noted Australian musicians--Iva Davies, Richard Tognetti and Christopher Gordon--composed the film's score. They previously collaborated on "The Ghost of Time," a piece commissioned for the Millennium celebrations in Sydney, which came to the attention of Peter Weir. The director was so impressed, he played the piece on the Master And Commander set throughout production, and he asked its creators to write the music for his movie. 

The score interweaves "Old World" and "New World" music, reflecting the talents and backgrounds of its composers. Iva Davies hails from both pop and classical traditions; Richard Tognetti, one of the world's great violin virtuosos, taught Russell Crowe the ins and outs of the instrument; and film/television composer Christopher Gordon brought orchestral texture to the project. 

Given the period, it comes as no surprise that the score is infused with source music from Bach (Cello Suite) and Mozart, among other great classical composers. Percussion dominates portions of the score. "Drums signal the forward movement of the ship," says Davies, "that it's on a mission. It brings you back into the action." The score's biggest surprise comes with its use of synthesizers. "Peter doesn't make films in the expected way," says Davies, "and for that reason we wanted the score to be not what everyone expected. Peter wanted some scenes to have what I call a kind of 'futuristic' sense"--conveying the idea that these 19th century sailors were cutting-edge explorers.

Shakespeare In Love: music from the motion picture....composed and orchestrated by Stephen Warbeck

 

Perhaps best known for his soundtrack to Mrs. Brown, Stephen Warbeck's score for Shakespeare in Love follows a similar pattern: Elizabethan themes and light string melodies work together to span a spectrum of moods. An excellent accompaniment to the movie: joyous, lyrical, sweeping, with a nice balance of theme music and incidental music. The same vibrant energy as the movie: throbbing cellos, dancing piccolos, violins by turns weeping and soaring. It stands alone as a 'concert piece' as well as being evocative of an outstanding movie.

Anima Mundi ... original soundtrack recording ... music by Philip Glass



Anima Mundi is a triumph both experimentally and cathartically coaxing the listener to the edge of their seat and transporting to an "aural theme park", a feat worthy of John Williams or James Horner. It creates a genuinely engaging musical experience in the minimalist style. Philip Glass fans will adore the variety of rhythmic, harmonic and melodic material, and it's unlike anything else he's done.

While there are clearly moments when it's doing it's duty as a sound track, the overarching theme is one of primal, unadorned noise-making, only orchestrated.

1492 Conquest of Paradise music from the original soundtrack..composed and performed by Vangelis

Vangelis ‎– 1492 – Conquest Of Paradise (Music From The Original Soundtrack)
Genre: Electronic, Classical, Stage & Screen
Style: Soundtrack, Score, Instrumental, Modern Classical, Ambient
Year: 1992

1492: Conquest of Paradise is the 1992 music score to the film of the same name by Greek electronic composer and artist Vangelis. The film, a recount of the voyage to America in 1492 by Christopher Columbus, was directed by Ridley Scott, for whom Vangelis had previously composed the music score for Blade Runner, in 1982. The album and the single "Conquest of Paradise" enjoyed a revival in 1995 for various reasons and broke many sales records. Due to the soundtrack's success, Vangelis won an Echo Award as "International Artist Of The Year", and RTL Golden Lion Award for the "Best Title Theme for a TV Film or a Series" in 1996. The album was nominated for "Best Original Score - Motion Picture" at the 50th Golden Globe Awards in 1993.

Vangelis plays together with a number of performers, including two Flamenco guitarists and vocalists, violin, mandolin and flutes. As on a number of previous albums by Vangelis, the English Chamber Choir, directed by Guy Protheroe, performs the choral parts.

The sound engineering was done by Philippe Colonna and coordination by French musician Frederick Rousseau (also known for his collaborations with Jean-Michel Jarre), who has been Vangelis's studio partner since the 1980s till the recording of the Alexander soundtrack. Vangelis plays all synthesizers, using mainly string patches but also several ethnic ones, to reflect the character of the film, and electric piano and harp patches. Some calmer, atmospheric pieces (tracks 3, 7, 11 and 12) are entirely performed by Vangelis, using pianos, strings and harp. For the ethnic music, Vangelis consulted with French specialist Xavier Belanger, who has advised other artists on similar issues, including Jean-Michel Jarre.

Opening     1:21
Conquest Of Paradise     4:30
Monastery Of La Rabida     3:24

Composer Chris Vibberts soundtrack album release "Passage"...music from the movie " Why Not Home?"







Composer Chris Vibberts recent album release "Passage" is the soundtrack for a film he scored called Why Not Home? The movie is about medical practitioners who chose to have their own births at home. Chris describes the score as "a melodic affair with lots of cello, marimba, acoustic guitar, and piano."

Chris Vibberts' work is heard in award winning short, animated, documentary and feature length films, as well as on TV. Chris records and performs with David J (Love and Rockets/Bauhaus) playing sitar, guitar, keyboards, lap steel, Melodica, & flute. He also releases ambient music as Chrystal Für.

official website: http://therabbitholerecording.com/index.html 


Marty's review: "Passage" is a beautifully produced score that combines elements of ambient, classical, world and roots music to create themes of solitude, time passage, anticipation and thoughtfulness. The subtle and at times sombre compositions weave and ebb their way into soundscapes of imagination and curiosity taking the listener in to their own journey of the mind to places only they can conjure up.
