Playing off the previous post, have you ever watched a movie without sound?! It’s depressing but that’s how it was back in the day!
Imagine this…watching a movie with sound but without music. This is painful. Honestly, I don’t think you realize how much music adds to films as far as mood and suspense until you watch a movie without it. It lacks so much depth and interesting suspense.
My point? Appreciate music on every level. Musicians make great music to listen to on the radio but music and sound in general go beyond that. When you hear a door slam in a movie, chances are that it’s not actually a recording of a door slamming. There is a whole industry of “musicians” and “sound specialists” that spend their lives adding sound effects to films so that you think they are natural and that you are hearing the sound you think you are hearing. Timing is crucial and only the best of the best make it.
Music is life and life is music. One without the other just doesn’t feel right!
