PGM 760R : "UNDERSCORE"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : exploring the world of ambient film music
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 3-09-07

INTRO: Here's the thing about soundtrack albums: no matter how
good the music in the film is, you just never know how good the
CD will be.

Some of the best composers and studio musicians in
the world work on these projects. No expense is spared to record
the music and mix it into the film. Then, the soundtrack CD is
thrown together in a few days from dozens of short "cues," padded
with "incidental music" or songs from hot young bands, and rushed
to market in time for the film's opening. As listening experiences
go, they're totally unpredictable. You just never know.

Yet the original function of film music has a lot in common
with ambient and space music — to color the environment, evoke
emotion, and underscore the action on the screen, just like
ambient does to the action in your room.
