Spotting The Best Science Fiction Music Fit For Your Needs

By Francis Riggs


Among all the forms of art, music can perhaps be considered as one of the most prolific ones. Its history is rich and the evolution that happened to it is worth the study. So much attention is paid in this craft which became the foundation of a strong music entertainment that we have at present.

From pop to rock, we see large groups of people going gaga for certain songs. Its easy to identify those most popular ones, especially those that are always featured on shows and radio programs. There are unique selections though that do not get much attention but are characterized with their awesome arrangement. Science fiction music is one of them.

Aside from their unique arrangement, the lyrics that are incorporated in them also has its own touch of something different. And if you are looking for the right one that can be a great accompaniment to whatever you are working on like a script or a play, then knowing how to look for the best is vital. Here are some things that you can use when spotting them.

Consider the instrumentals. Even without the lyrics, the quality of the instruments blending can already say a lot about it. Listen to how it is arranged and see if it has the spark that you are looking for in a piece.

Check out the story. Or commonly called as the lyrics. Different musical pieces have their own story behind them. It can focus about a single entity who landed on a different planet for instance, or perhaps the general view of someone about humanity as seen from afar. If you choose a song, be sure it has the story relevant to your play.

Feel the mood. This is a tricky part when it comes to listening to music. Sometimes, there is just this unique feeling when listening to a piece that makes you feel so in touch with it. Its hard to explain but its there. For it to do its job well, you have to consider its appeal to the story that you have in your play. Does it convey the same emotion.

Consider your preference. Just because you are looking for something that will fit a particular work does not mean that you should totally set aside your own preference. Its fine to be subjective. Besides, if you know enough of what you are working on, then its easier for you to go about with the selection process.

If you search enough, you should be able to find several scifi inspired pieces. Some of them are even used in extraterrestrial movies in the past. Know the details of what you are working on and begin trimming down your options. If you need help, you can always ask for a back up from your team.

The kind of music that you choose can make or break the entire thing that you are working on. Make sure that you are choosing them right. Get a list of the most relevant ones and screen them well.
