Music that moves you

[Harmonie]

Some classical music lovers might think this is an adulterated form but I think it's the best remix I've come across so far.   

...Yeah. Just sounds like they overlayed a generic "epic" movie sound over the music. That style of instrumentation and harmony does absolutely nothing for me. But to each their own.

Here is another one that could fit with Silvers car race.  In this case you can almost hurt with sympathy for the horses that are being driven so hard.

Harmonie, this has some important Bassoon work, then flutes.  The Ride To Dubno

Huh, I've never even heard of that composer or piece. I used to think I was knowledgeable on pieces with bassoon solos. I was wrong.

[Bluenose]

Well, I can't let this pass without a reference to one of my faves, Die Götterdämmerung.  I once spent the best part of an entire weekend with a fellow naval officer listening to the whole ring cycle on Deutsche Grammophon vinyl, eating pizza, cheese & bikkies and meat pies and drinking Pusser's rum and Jack Daniels...

[hermes2015]

I find this piece soothing, but why I'm not sure.  Maybe a resigned "there there" quality about it?

Without words (On the Nature of Daylight)

Thank you so much for introducing me to Max Richter, who is a new composer I can explore. It reminds me of Arvo Pärt's music, especially his Spiegel im Spiegel.

That's one of the joys of "classical" music: always something new to discover. I remember how excited I was when I found the music of Takemitsu a few years ago.

Dear old Wagner is an interesting case. I absolutely adore his music, but many people are put off by extraneous factors like his personality and the appropriation of his music by the Nazis. I just appreciate his music, regardless of whether he was a nice person or not.

I guess you were listening to the great Georg Solti Ring Cycle?

Hmm, don't recall that detail, but you're probably right. I get the ambivalence towards Wagner, but I love his music.

Yes it definitely has that dramatic flair!

CB in particular makes me feel like I'm about to be chased thru a dark wood.

With words (This Bitter Earth)

I like that tune very much.

I don't know what bikkies are, but I want to eat them while listening to this.

Biscuits, that's how we in the civilised countries refer to what is in some places cookies.

Anyway I've been wanting to post the motor bike frog, I'm segging into it.

You have to go about 60% down the page and there's a sound thingy you click.
There's a youtube of the motor bike frog but it's not as good.



I've no idea why the West Australian government coat of arms on that page includes a white swan, maybe Bluenose knows.

Well, yes, except that bikkies and cheese is usually biscuits of the cracker variety. The cheese should include a good aged Cheddar, a Brie/Camembert and a decent blue, perhaps Stilton, Gorgonzola or Roquefort.  Also served with some grapes and perhaps strawberries and definitely a glass of good port...

And here I was thinking it was Bic Pens.

"G'day mate"

"Hi, how you going?"

"Great. Oy mate, do me a favour and pass the blue bikkie?"

*cue propaganda music*



Bikkies, your pen in the land down under.

*Won't defy gravity.

But then I read what Bluenose had written and it didn't make much sense.

I suppose I'd like to go unconventional once again.

I've played a Swedish-made game called "Brothers - a tale of two sons" recently, which, having no dialogue (Not exactly true, but they used a fictional language) made a great use of its soundtrack for immersion/emotional message.

It is relatively uncomplicated, as music goes, but it does make the game great. I especially like the endgame themes (like Winged Hope and Heading Home, starting at 50:44. What can I say... I have a weak spot for cellos and eerie vocals)

I suppose this soundtrack doesn't make much sense outside the game, but within proper context, I did find it... Moving.

[xSilverPhinx]

^ I like video game music.

A few of my favourites:

The fast-paced electronic with the female vocals:

The string instrument (I don't know which, though):

...And the entire Deus Ex:Human Revolution soundtrack. 

[Asmodean]

Have you ever come across Miracle of Sound? Game theme based music of very decent quality.
