So it is my strong belief that music brings the most out of any situation when it is put in the right way. That's why some movies and TV shows have such an enormous impact on people, not just because of the setting, but because of how the composer brings out the music.
So my question is, who is your favorite composer. I'd have to say mine is Micheal Giacchino, who did the music for movies like Up and Star Trek, and also for the TV show Lost. A close second would have to be Marty O'Donnel, who did the music for the Halo games. But a new upcoming composer just caught my eye. Daniel Yount, a 15 year-old kid, has some amazing stuff. Maybe not state of the art, but definitely effective in bringing emotions out, especially in adventure type stories. How bout you guys?
from your words, i take that you mean film composers... is that true? if so i have pretty much nothing to add to this topic, perhaps except this;
i find that the films that work best are the ones which have next to no music. i find most film music to be so cliche that it's painful to listen to, even without the film. so i hope that if i ever get the job of writing a score for a film (i am a composer, so it's not unlikely), the film maker who's hiring me knows what he's getting himself into.
I really like Two Steps From Hell, which is a production music company, but I don't know if they count. Professor Pumplestickle is my all time favourite tune.
I also really love Hans Zimmer, his music gives me goosebumps like no other. John Williams is fine too, but nothing tops Zimmer. I'd marry him if I could.
