Howdy Folks, I'm sorry this might be a little off topic, but I find it much easier to draw while I'm listening to music. Hopefully, folks won't find it too out of place. I bow to the moderators decisions. I'm still pretty new here and am still getting a feel for the place. (Some of the Lost In Space music has Alexander Courage's work so it's not entirely off topic...)
Space Ambient, synthwave/retrowave, that stuff rules for anything SF related. The Intangible -Chiaroscuro One heck of a Space Ambient track Synthwave Hubrid & billy mays - Jupiter
You're good. This is certainly fine by me. I think it's interesting to learn what other artists on here are listening while working on their art. It's a wholly different topic, but I would also like for musical artists to share their music inspired by Trek and/or other Sci-Fi.
I can't draw, can't do 3D or design stuff but I do write and music is always a good inspiration, can be anything that leads to a poem, sometimes space ambient and sometimes deathmetal..
I just found out that Constance passed away this last March. Novus Magnificat was one of those albums that I bought on a whim, based on the cover and it had exactly the sound I hoped it would. That was sometime in the mid 90's. The instrument in the second video is one I believe she created called the Space Bass. Amazing that she created sounds like that on something other than a keyboard. RIP Constance and thank you
I'm shocked that no one has even mentioned Jerry Goldsmith yet. In addition to scoring some of the best Star Trek soundtracks EVER, he also did Alien, Poltergeist, Planet of the Apes, and a literal crap ton of film over the course of several decades. John Eaves, who designs almost all the ships in Trek anymore, has gone on record saying he listened to Goldsmith's work while designing for Trek.
In the non-Star Trek (i.e., The Not-Goldsmith-or-Horner-or-Rosenman-or-Eidelman Category), Chiaroscuro FTW!
Patrick O’Hearn’ Indigo is great. www.hos.com programs 1216 and 1286 just aired. Episode 1290 has the best old space music.
I'm currently cutting out dozens of tiny little yellow feathers (Aaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrgh!!! What am I doing?!?) for this months Trek Art Challenge to Röyksopp - Shores of Easy
If you want to do some epic work then you need Ivan Torrent.. his music is well eh.. EPIC!! Ivan Torrent -Afterlife ft Celica Soldream
I thought of that! I don't think we've had a "Trek Music" board. Interesting to give a shot at Trek/inspired composition.
I think there might have been someone sharing a Trek-inspired filk song a couple of years back, but yes, I'd love people to create fan music and share it with us.
Not Trek music but a song by a band called Scarlet Stories -Vingt Mille Lieues Sous Les Mers It is 11 minutes long, prog metal and if you need a dark, melancholic and epic mood then this is one heck of a thing to write or draw to.
