Impressions of a Life Cinematic

Tied Down by Thom Hanreich.

“What are we longing for? Where does all this yearning come from?”

A Planet by Marc Streitenfeld.

One of the biggest question marks about Prometheus for me was the score. Ridley Scott’s two science-fiction masterpieces possess and incredible, dynamic and completely immersive score. I guess I should’ve be surprised that Prometheus also has an amazing score. Just like the film, it’s different from Alien but you can still feel/hear traces of it.

The Equation by Chad Seiter.

Like it is the case with so many shows, the first season of Fringe is still by far the strongest. In terms of presenting this new mysterious universe and its vastness, it excelled in such a way that subsequent seasons couldn’t. While the score has improved, I still can’t get enough of this first one.

Lie Down In Darkness by Moby.

Even though Moby got a lot of recognition with the album Play, I started to really like his work once he released Wait For Me. With this later part of his career, Moby has gone for a different mood and sound that I personally think is much more interesting and enthralling. While Destroyed is no Wait For Me, it is nevertheless a splendid album.

The Driver Returns - Playlist:

One of the few films that i immediately fell in love with last year was Drive. An all-around perfect masterpiece in my opinion, and the music was by far one of its greatest accomplishments. The way it connected with Driver was awe-inspiring.

This playlist is what I think the sequel (that will probably never happen) would sound like.

Lady by The Chromatics.
Metamorphis by Trentemoller.
* by M83.
Colorless Sky by Desire.

Enjoy!

Winter is Coming by Ramin Djawadi.

King of the North by Ramin Djawadi.

Even though I’m still not caught up with all the episodes of season 2, I gotta say that one of the things that is impressing me the most is Robb Stark. Stark become my favourite character during the end of season 1 and it’s really amazing to see how much he has changed. Richard Madden is giving a truly brilliant performance that is worthy of everything single praise.

Cold Wind of Desolation - Playlist:

Light Alight and More Light by The Nautilus Diary.
Sister by Martin Stig Andersen.
Nei Varchi Di Luce by Ludovico Einaudi.
City Building by Johann Johannsson.
Stone Beacon by Deaf Center.
Piano In An Empty Room by Vangelis.
Finale by Para One.
Keep Asking by Vangelis.

Enjoy!

Olivia by Chris Tilton.

Even though I’ve had my issues with the show since the second season, one aspect of it that has remained and in a way evolved into something even more beautiful has been the score. I’m glad that the show has opted to give Chris Tilton the principal score duties, as his songs are by far the best.

The Landing by Jerry Goldsmith.

Since Prometheus is the film I’m most looking forward this year, I’ve been keeping myself busy diving into the world of Alien. I’ve always loved the mythological aspect established in Alien, but it wasn’t until recently that I started paying attention to the score. It’s a really brilliant and terrifying score, and it makes me wonder how Prometheus’s score will sound. Either way, I already love it.
