Hmmm... what do you mean?

Posted by: second gary (a.k.a 80181597) on Mar 04, 20:29 in response to Harryl3456's post Need help naming a movie sound clip

I mean, what do you mean "naming" it?  Have you composed this, and are looking for the name to sum it up for someone else?

What I hear: so the constant piano activity precedes the first big percussion event, and the subsequent harmonic event, the tentative move from vi to I.  It sounds like it's going to fall back into the original key.  Therefore...

1.  It's a segue, a suture joining two things together, or announcing something new supplanting something exhausted, spent.

2.  It's the attempt to launch something new, a departure, an embarking.

3.  This sense that it is going to collapse back in on itself suggests some kind of claustrophobia, as if the "new" is a bounded, limited impulse (represented in the rhythmic activity in the piano) which won't pay off.

So, names...

Futility.  Desperation.  Initiative.  Unresigned.  Henry V.  Scheming.

It is a clip given to me. I am suppose to identify the movie it is from. {nm} Harryl3456 Mar 04, 20:43

I am a movie music buff but not enough of one to really identify this. Sounds late 80's maybe 90's...it is probably a drama. If they are Catzan Mar 04, 22:46

only now read your IM... Pelican Brief... The Firm... My feeling is the same as yours. JMT Mar 04, 23:34

vague recollection of Risky Bussiness or a legal film like The Firm to me. {nm} JMT Mar 04, 23:29

WhoA! I was just going to post risky business {nm} islander Mar 04, 23:32

It feels like music that leads into a dream sequence to me ( and risky had a few) {nm} islander Mar 04, 23:33

It was the first thing that came to my mind. Maybe were onto something here {nm} JMT Mar 04, 23:35

Funny, didn't come to mind for me...I see why...Tangerine Dream has a much more electronic/techno feel to it. The music is similar...could Catzan Mar 05, 00:13

Or he could try to get away with; That Tom Cruise-film... 60 % chance in that {nm} JMT Mar 05, 00:28

I think "The Pelican Brief" is the right direction. The piano music in "The Firm" is more dissonant. Perhaps "Enemy of the State." second gary Mar 05, 04:26

Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children OST - "For the reunion" {nm} Zaba Mar 06, 01:43

It's definitely this. I love that soundtrack - probably more than the movie. {nm} Jelly Mar 06, 18:26
