soundtrack

Giorgio Moroder has a special place in the history of electronic music, because of his genre-inspiring classic track I Feel Love, with Donna Summer and Pete Bellotte.

When Brian Eno first heard I Feel Love, he told David Bowie “This single is going to change the sound of club music for the next fifteen years,” which it did. The track has been covered by dozens of artists and imitated, either directly or indirectly, by thousands.

Moroder’s version of the original Battlestar Galactica soundtrack, on the other hand, has been lost to obscurity.

Based on this MTV interview with Olivia Wilde, it looks like French electronica duo Daft Punk may have a cameo in the upcoming Tron Legacy movie.

Daft Punk is doing the soundtrack for the sequel to the 1982 original, Tron, which broke new ground in computer animation.

Anybody else overly excited about the new Tron movie?

It’s been a while since we heard from Goldfrapp – but they haven’t been sitting on their laurels or dancing with the dog-headed bikini-madchen.

Alison Goldfrapp writes that they have been working on the soundtrack for a John Lennon biopic:

we have finally emerged from an intense period of work and i’m pleased i can now tell you about it (as it is official). we have written the score for a film called “Nowhere boy”. it’s about John Lennon as a boy and stars Aaron Johnson, Kristen Scott-Thomas and Anne Marie Duff. it’s Sam Taylor-Wood’s first feature film and it’s truly amazing that they gave us the oppotunity to do this.

we are all really excited about going to abbey road studios soon to record the strings with the full orchestra. the film is closing the london film festival and is premiered on 29th october at odeon leicester square. now our work on the film is almost finished, we will carry on writing the Goldfrapp album.

Goldfrapp could be a really interesting choice for the soundtrack – their Felt Mountain was especially cinematic.

What do you think? Can Goldfrapp do John Lennon justice?

In this official Cakewalk video, Robin Kelly gives a presentation on using Sonar 8 for creating a soundtrack to a video.

Sunday Synth Jam: Retrosound created this ambient soundscape, Sound Clouds, to showcase the Kawai K5000R.

The track transcends the goal of being a demo of the Kawai K5000R, though, to be a lovely ambient soundscape synth jam. Read more…
