  1. For fans of video game music

    The PLAY! Video Game Symphony is in the US From SoundTrackNET... I would go just to listen to Morrowind, what a score that was. Pity I don't even live in the same country.
  2. Recommend some Chopin

    Im not sure where to start to be honest, but I heard his piano is killer. Im looking for something rather laid back and quite slow as Im trying to learn the piano, hopefully Chopin can provide me with much needed inspiration.

  4. Anyone play the harmonica ?

    Just wondering. Its looks easy enough, but I was told to do blues style harmonica it is actually very difficult. Also I understand they come in different keys, Im not sure which one to start on.
  5. Different types of Score CDs

    Does anyone notice that when studios release the soundtrack Cds for films, you either get CDs which have every single cue from the movie and then you get CDs which have orchestrations composed just for CD. which do you prefer ? Are the completist who goes for the former or like me prefer a...
  6. Best way to learn to draw ?

    I used to draw alot but this was many years ago. I havent really drawn anything since, at least nothing other then doodles. I would really like to get serious about it, as Im moving into web design as a career and may need to dabble with graphics. I know its common for a web designer to...

    I am a big fan of the soundtrack to the Japanese animated movie - Akira. The soundtrack was performed by Geinoh Yamashirogumi a collective of 200 who mixes gamelan style instruments with more modern synthesizers and trad. japanese singing. Im quite interested in exploring more Gamelan, I was...
  8. Lord of the Rings : FOTR The Complete Recordings.

    Does anybody own this ? I am a big fan of Howard Shore and especially his work on LOTR trilogy. I was wondering if this newly released package is worth getting. I currently own the original trilogy CD pack. But this one looks very impressive, especially with the PCM 5.1 DVD. But the price...

  11. How does one learn to be a great composer ?

    This is a really frustrating. I have a great passion for music. I have been learning the guitar for 6 years and it feels like Im only the level of someone whos been playing for 2 years. I think I have hit a dead end. Maybe its because Im self taught and Im basically full of bad habits. I...
  12. Any Marillion fans ?

    Ive only just discovered them actually. Although Marbles have been out for a while, I got for christmas last month and I was quite simply blown away. Probably one of the best albums Ive heard in the last 5 years ! and thats not joking. Im wondering where I should go from here. I was...
  13. Ennio Morricone

    Who is a fan of this great man ? His music has been inspirational, often parodied and many times ripped off everywhere. Some people may describe his western music a little cheesy due to this. But there is no doubting how beautiful his work truely is. So what is everybody's favourite work by...
