If music played over your life like a film, who would you get to compose it?

[SomeBoredGuy]

I, personally, would have Hans Zimmer. His songs tend to make whatever their in instantly more awesome and the the Inception soundtrack CD was the first time in years I'd actually gone out and bought a physical CD. Hell, for all the complaints people have about Modern Warfare 2, I haven't heard one person complain about the music.


Now, your turn.

 

[Colour Scientist]

Bach, no need to explain.
That or Andrew Lloyd Webber, my life would be so camp and awesome.

 

[theComposer]

John Williams. I mean, just look at all the movies he's composed for: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Williams#Notable_compositions

 

[The Amazing Tea Alligator]

Morgan Freeman would be narrating. It is music.

 

[TriggerUnhappy]

Ennio Morricone without a doubt, everything would be epic:

[Kollega]

Frank Klepacki, probably. Zimmer has a bit too much drama and a bit too little AGRESSION for my tastes.

 

[Jack_Uzi]

Sergei Prokofiev or Dmitri Sjostakovitsj. My favorite componists.

 

[BlumiereBleck]

Michael FREAKIN GIACCHINO!!! Great composer. That or Michael Andrews....Andrews would be spot on on the type but Giacchino is great with tension and that....you know what I choose both

 

[Raikov]

Richard Strauss. He wrote this:

 

[Polaris19]

John Williams. Really, is there any better choice?

 

[Twad]

elevator music?

 

[WorldCritic]

John Williams, no substitutes.

 

[Reynard Wrecce]

Hard choice; I mean, you get Lisa Gerrard or John Williams, for instance, you'd be constantly worried that you weren't behaving in a sufficiently epic way.
I would have to carry a sword at all times to live up to the music.

 

[Jasper Jeffs]

The RZA, without a doubt. Imagine walking down the street at night to this (skip to around 38 seconds):

Good choice, the intro to Afro Samurai is dope, as is the entire soundtrack.

OT: Philip Glass.

Although Bonobo would be very fitting also.

David Atterborugh for narration. JOHN WILLIAMS!

 

[Breaker deGodot]

Ennio Morricone. Why? Just watch The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. Then you'll understand.
