I am addicted to...
Dec. 18th, 2008 08:36 amI confess, I am addicted to a special kind of music since I was a teenager. While other people of my age listened to Pop and Rock, my taste was very different.
It was the time, where I began to go in cinema and write - so my imagination began to fly, when I heard certain songs, especially those of the old Cinemascope-pictures. Since then I love symphonic soundtracks with orchestra and choir. They helped my to let my imagination fly. And so I began to collect music, first I recorded it from the radio (there was a special show in WDR 1 in the Eighties), later friends recorded me cassettes from their collection. There was a time I could sing many musical melodies without hearing them.
For many, many years I favored the composer Miklos Rosza (Ben Hur, Quo Vadis, King of Kings, Ivanhoe, El Cid), but I also loved the soundtracks from John Williams (Star Wars, Indiana Jones). Meanwhile Hans Zimmer (many Disney Soundtracks, Pirates of the Carribbian, The Last Samurai) and Harry Gregson Williams (Kingdom of Heaven, Narnia 1+2) and Joel Goldsmith (Stargate Atlantis) won my heart to.
And this love hasn't left me. I am still collecting soundtracks, still using them to let my imagination flow for writing and painting.
