Download Free MV Soundtracks

-Erik-

No indents unfortunately, Feliz (I think? Bregt?)

But many thanks for all your hard work! Much appreciated!

Confused

Oh wait I get it!!! He wants to be paid for the time it takes for his computer to download the material. Should the composers all chip in and get him an extra hard drive?

"download"?? "free"???? "mp3"???? "the"????





iiiiiiouuuuuuuuuuuuiiiiiiiouuuuuuuuuuuuuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiouuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Is this legal????

I was about to say "hey good job" or something at HZ forum (under the name of Pridelander) But now I post here.

Hey good job! I'm especially happy that I finally found this:


I thought there were only the streaming link on his site. Thanks so much! :nut:

Also nice to find the new Disney logo video at Metzger's site.


... But if I were you I'd add August Rush tracks from Mancina site. Low sound quality but full tracks.

And you totally forgot Heitor Pereira!
http://www.heitorpereira.com/
http://www.myspace.com/heitorpereira

His music doesn't sound like MV/RC-style? But he's definitely an RC guy so whatever he writes is an RC score. Isn't it?

We support the use of smileys above other markup. Using smileys in a creative way, decreases the importance of using things like indents, numbering, ...

Indeed. I've never seen a board as emoticon-happy as this one....

Here's a tiny addition. I tried to edit this continuation into my first post, but my post got so long that it was actually making the topic glitch up like crazy and until I was beginning to fear I'd broken the forum or something. So I guess it'll just go here. Unless someone could magically insert it after the first post or something?

RC-Style Composers
-They don't actually work at RC, but they sure sound like them. (A few of these composers occasionally even co-compose things with an RC member)
-Composers are listed in order of RC-ishness and awesomeness of music

Every track listed here is a must-download. Graves writes beautiful, powerful MV themes, all with a cinematic level of quality. His video game scores King Arthur and Flushed Away are heavily influenced by Zimmer’s and Gregson-William’s scores to the companion movies. His King Arthur score sounds like an extension of Zimmer’s with more focused themes.

There’s a lot of music on Bill Brown’s site. So much of it is MV influenced that it’s difficult to decide which to list here. Some tracks from Rainbow 6 quote the theme from The Rock and his score for the Sinbad play could be compared to Harry Gregson-Williams’ Sinbad score. Check out his site for more great music.

A master of the modern contemporary compositional style who would fit right in at RC Productions. When Salta puts more tracks up on his site the world is a better place.

Inon Zur, composer of the world’s most intense action music. Red Mercury’s main title basically quotes Zimmer’s “Roll Tide”. Dramatic Fantastic’s “A Hero” is incredible and all of the trailer music is amazing. Zur is one of the most successful video game composers on the market today.

Dynamedion has a vague way of categorizing and naming their tracks, but the songs under the headings “Epic”, “Adventure”, “Military” and “ScienceFiction” are very good

Note: Extra tracks from Dynamedion's individual composers via proudmusiclibrary.com:
Parodi and Fair are brilliant composers who've written music to every trailer under the sun. Someone really needs to figure out they'd be good at feature films so we can hear some good lengthy albums from them

Christopherson’s natural style is probably not MV by default, but when the project requires he can crank out themes you would swear are straight from the RC team. Titles/Wrestling Match is an awesome MV power anthem with parts that could be right out of Armageddon. “Reggie’s Board Shack” (from Surf's Up) is like the Bad Boys theme gone happy.


One of the best contemporary composers I’ve heard outside of RC-Productions. Beautiful, addictive themes, powerful orchestration, and a good amount of fresh creativity. You’ll recognize the track “Summon the Worms” as the Narnia trailer theme - an amazing track! Tyler has put some of his best tracks up for download. (And FYI, Tyler’s Constantine was co-composed with former RC composer Klaus Badelt, but it’s definitely not their best work.)

Stylistically Chen often sounds like a miniature Asian version of Zimmer. An interesting listen, though his themes generally don’t really stick in your head after listening
Note: Chen's server seems to have gone down in the last few days. The problem might be temporary so the link will be left up


Occasionally RC-ish Composers
-These guys don’t typically write in the MV-style for most projects, but they can write amazing MV-style music when that’s what the project calls for. (And often their own natural style will still appeal to MV junkies.)
-The most RC influenced tracks for each composer have been listed here






(“Eternal Father” is the navy hymn Zimmer covered in Crimson Tide’s “Little Ducks” and the last part of “Roll Tide”)


"Amateur" RC-Style Composers
-They haven’t exactly hit the big time yet, but that doesn’t mean they won't someday soon! Some really great potential here.

Glyn really knows how to write a good theme. It’s a mystery to me why he’s not an A-list composer in Hollywood right now.

He's only written one soundtrack, and it's for his own game, World of Goo, but this soundtrack is a very good one. It has some of the most fun, creepy, unique and creative music I've heard from any composer in a long time. A very cool style and engaging listen

A promising young composer who writes like a slightly less sophisticated version of Zimmer. He’s getting better with each new track



Tracks aren’t really named, but most “Action Adventure” tracks sound very much like Zimmer


Extra RC-Style Tracks

Haha! Well I would actually describe Joel McNeely as a mini John Williams or something for his work as a whole. So yeah. Basically the polar opposite of RC. The tracks that I listed there, though, are "fairly RC-ish" (and a complete deviation from his typical style). So maybe I should change it to "Very Occasionally RC-ish Composers" or "Music By Random Generally Un-RCish Composers That Happens to be Fairly RC-ish" since it's more of a list of fairly RC-ish music than composers.

Edit: Hey, that's actually a good idea. I changed it.

-Feliz

Almost nothing is guaranteed to make me run for the hills more than hearing somethng sounds MV or RC'ish.

Well said Feliz

I'd like to point out that I do like a good number of Zimmer scores and even a little RC. For me the best thing to come out of any of it is John Powell.

Maybe he's an RC composer himself?!
