>>5740183I was hunting for some inspirational space music hehe, a theme for my space opera setting, I think this is it
Titanfall 2 OST Main Theme, BT-7274
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pJU7kWTdAj4This theme is incredible, it has everything a lot of motifs and perfectly captures the space feel. I think the clever thing about this piece is it does not "milk" the musical motifs lol, a lot of modern music ahem Hans Zimmer does that with one melody that just cycles endlessly in static motion overstaying its welcome. In this theme, there is some suspense developed and then the composer just moves on to another idea, it feels far more inventive and expansive as a sound-world. I completed Titanfall 2 on hardest difficulty, I remember the weird constructed artificial habitation battle with the endless waves of units rushing you that was a tough gunfight and at the time I did not have a strong impression of the music compared to say Halo ah ah ah aaahhh chant theme, my memory of Titanfall 2 was that it was good but the mech sections were far too short. Now looking back and listening to this theme music it is really emotional, I actually like this music far more than Halo hehe
Metroid (1986) Title Theme synth remake by Luminist
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6fceLfjB4sI am not too sure where I heard this, it may have been some videogame blog a long time ago. I have never played Metroid, I do not know anything about the series. But this synth music is incredibly good, the composer did a very good adaptation. It is sort of eerie deep space feel.
Vivaldi : Sinfonia a 4 in si minore RV 169 'al Santo Sepolcro
1) Adagio molto
Berliner Philarmoniker, Herbert von Karajan
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Psn16zksQx8The master of diegetic applications of classical music is Kubrick, 2001 Also Sprach Zarathustra, the Ligeti and Rossini choices but actually my preferred one is the Clockwork Orange theme, which is a distorted synth adaptation of Henry Purcell's funeral march for Queen Mary. All my games begin in my mind to that accompanying piece of music lol. I read a cinema thing that they used to place classical music tracks for film sections before the final film score was completed, to indicate the general pacing rhythm emotion etc, in Kubrick's case his classical music selection was so exquisite that they just kept his suggestions lol. Also this why a lot of film music sounds like Hans Zimmer or Inception, somewhere along the line they stopped using classical music and just used Hans Zimmer batman or inception music to fill all the incomplete music tracks, the composer would listen to the suggestion and then regurgitate more Hans Zimmer noooo.
I am not as good as Kubrick at choosing space classical music, but this Vivaldi here is my attempt at sinister SPACE BAROQUE, with a lesser known movement. I imagine this is what exoatmospheric transfer feels like. It is a slow one, hehe
