You're sure you aren't experiencing the same thing as a pensioner describing rap music?

A lot of the music in movies shares similar characteristics. In fact I could imagine some of these tracks in a movie.




I could imagine some of these tracks in a movie, but for the most part they seem a more random than is typical for the dramatic requirements of a movie. Most of these pieces have a few ideas that stretch out over several minutes. Movie music tends to have specific cues. There are precise moments when the music changes to guide the scene in a particular direction. The attention to structure required by a typical movie does not seem evident in most of these selections.

Now, this music is full of ideas that could be great in a movie. But the pieces themselves, for the most part, are not especially dramatic. They'd have to be re-worked into a movie, at which point they probably would no longer be 140 characters of code.


I'm experiencing the exact same thing I experience with most rap music: I think it is godawful. The first one was reasonable, but the three that followed made my ears bleed and prevented me from listening to the other 18 songs.
