Your own anime soundtrack

Postby Madzack » Fri Jan 17, 2003 3:01 pm

If you make your own anime, what kind of anime score would you use? Techno? Orchestral? Rock? Who do you want to write the anime scores for your anime?

Me? I'd like Graeme Revell, Eric Serra or Talvin Singh to write the soundtrack. The soundtrack would a lot of metal guitars, industrial beats, and Middle Eastern chorals and orchestra. I'll hire the likes of Shakira or Natacha Atlas to sing the main music of the anime for me. Maybe I might hire Apocalyptica for the cellos or maybe some Megadeth member for the guitars. :twisted:

What about you?

I'd use a lot of techno, but I'd hire three people for the job. 2 people would make two diffrent songs, and I'd have a dj mix them nice and good. It's the reals tuff you listen to at clubs that's the best, shit like that.

Other than the techno I'd have a lot of punk rock. i know they're known for their whiney voices what ever, but there are some awsome drummers out there and guitarists. If i ever needed instruments like that I'd definetly have a punk rock band write the parts and play them.

I'd pay Yoko Kanno and Seatbelts a pile of hypothetical cash to score my show.

I'd use many touching songs with meaning, such as orchestral and vocal songs. I'd also like to use songs that can get you going, you know, make you feel all powered up or something, kind of like "Duel!" from the Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz soundtrack.

I'd make sure the soundtrack kicks complete ass.

I think I would use many fast and agressive songs for the Film but the end and the beginning of the movie will be very sad and slow. I also want a woman voice at one or two of the songs and at the Final Battle some Orchestra and chorus
When night falls
She cloaks the world
In impenetrable darkness
A chill rises
From the soil
And contaminates the air
Suddenly...
Life has new meaning

It really depends on the anime. Most likely, though, Raymond Watts (aka Pig) from KMFDM. For instrumentals, at least, if not vocals also.

First, I would have to look at the different scenes and decide what type of music is best for the scene in question. What effect do I want to evoke in the viewer? Do I want to distract them from the world of the anime and allow for an outside persective or draw them deeper into it and really get them into the story and the characters? Would a fast song or a slow song fit this or that character's emotional state at the time best?

I'd most likely end up using a variety of genres since I listen to several different types of music. Some artists and bands that come to mind are Natalie Imbruglia, Kamelot, Nightwish, Radiohead, Tweaker, Fastball, Tsuneo Imahori (Trigun OST kicks much ass, and he played guitar on a few Bebop songs), Yoko Kanno is a given, Shudder to Think, or at the very least Craig Wedren, Demons and Wizards, Foo Fighters, The Pillows, Rammstein, Bush, Geggy Tah, Yasunori Mitsuda, Tori Amos, Natalie Merchant, etc.

Essentially, I'd like a soundtrack that cycles the gamut of musicality. I want a soundtrack that transcends musical genres and is simply about the right music for the right mood at the right time.

For me, I want to do something at a level of anime like EVA or Xenosaga, except, of course, it'll be my own. And where both of these anime turn to classical music for inspiration, I thought I might up an ante a bit by using a more ethnic form of music, mostly from the Middle East and South Asia. There's a wealth and richness of these kinds of music that should've been in most "complex" anime. I want to use their unique style of instrumentation and choral music, exploit them enough to convey both trancendental and emotional side of the anime I "would" be making. I thought I might break what I might consider a bland cliche of "string" music so frequently use in most anime.

Think of it. EVA-like anime using Middle Eastern soundtrack.

The OST for Feud, my anime idea would have a mix of songs, but certainly would include primarily instrumental songs composed by Yuki Kajiura (Composer for Bee-train animes like Noir and .hack//SIGN) and Noriyuki Iwadare (Composer for RPG-ish video games like Lunar and Der Langrisser). Also there would be 80's rock-ish dramatic arranged songs by Kageyama Hironobu and other artists that have collaborated with him before: MIO, JAM Project, and Mizuki Ichirou would be among the more prominent ones. The dramatic voices would of course be done by their respective seiyuu which I haven't decided on yet, since I'm still thinking about character ideas.

For a romance fantasy anime on par with Ah! My Goddess, I thought I might hire someone like Save Ferris, Tara MacLean or Chantal Kreviazuk to write all of the music scores rather contributing a few songs. Their sweet yet honest songwriting seems perfect for the anime's atmosphere.

For more serious, mature romances, I might need Sarah McLachlan, Sade, or Tori Amos to write the music scores. Their songwriting has a more pained, brutal honesty in them.
