Soundtrack

Music is a kind of language, that's why it also can tell a story. Sometimes it comes with the movies (what we also call pictures) to make the story sounds better.

For unknown reason I start to appreciate, on top of the eye-catching scenes of the movies, the background music. It all begins with the Batman series from Christopher Nolan, with his long-term composer partner Hans Zimmer who provided him with the fuels of melodies.

Mr. Zimmer, if you know him well enough, is also the composer of the Lion King soundtrack.

People usually asked how it is possible for composer to write a score out of a picture, when the picture is not created by the musician himself. It is not the situation that we see in pop music or classical music. Will the director or the actor hum a melody which they think are suitable for the composer? Probably not. Most of the time, they will just give the composer the ideas or the themes that they should strife for. But how do a theme or an notion evolve as a score, that's the magic composers can make.

The magic of soundtracks are that it can come to your mind when you encounter similar situations as though we are in the movie. The soundtrack will play themselves as you go through the episodes. That's universal for everyone in the planet, as music is perhaps one of the few common languages to communicate, which does not need anymore lyrics.

Oh, how can possibly a man like me to live without music.
