Starman (movie theme) - Robert Wilsdon mix

Please have a listen to my latest album on Spotify: open.spotify.com/artist/1HPM7... This is my reproduction of the theme to the 1984 movie 'Starman' starring Jeff Bridges. Starman was a great, under rated sci-fi movie with a memorable soundtrack, all recorded using a Synclavier II I believe. My mix was recorded in November 2012 using Apple's Logic with a few sounds from Camel's Alchemy. First time ever to not use a pounding bass-line or electronic drum track! - don't worry, they're coming back.
The video uses clips from the end sequence of Starman (tweaked, reversed, messed with etc) and a few bits from the end of 2001 A Space Odyssey, the brilliant 'stargate' sequence - lots of mad motion graphics stuff produced 30 years before After Effects was invented. Compiled in Adobe Premiere Pro.
Hope you like it, totally non commercial, just for fun production. Let me know what you think.

+Robert Wilsdon Quick question--I went to IMDB and it said that the music was done by a different person. Without checking as yet I will assume that you wrote the "Hymn of the World"? and not the music for the movie? This is a wonderful piece.

@robertwilsdon 8 жыл бұрын

+Frank Fraser Hi Frank, no I had nothing to do with the movie or the soundtrack. I have always loved the movie and soundtrack, especially the main theme. I always wanted to record my own 'version' of it but still remain loyal to the original feel to the music. I hope you like it.

@@frankfraser4583 Hi Frank, the music was written by John Carpenter (yes, THAT John Carpenter!) My recreation of it came after watching and just loving the movie and the soundtrack for many years. I hope you liked my version. Hymn of the World? No, not me i'm afraid. You can search any of the streaming services for music by Zero One Zero to hear more of my own music, all written produced recorded and mixed by me.

Yes, it is stunning; @Robert Wilsdon you've done a magnificant variation and improved upon the original. While a bit different (not synthesiser based) I would suggest that Ennio Morricone's Theme for 'Once Upon A Time In The West' is similar in dynamics / calibre - both are hauntingly beautiful, loaded with emotion, with sweeping grand crescendos and hesitances. Ennio Morricone's piece also has sections that are almost syncopation. Truly glorious. Also worth a mention is Francis Lai, Love theme from “Bilitis”.

I like theme music better than actual popular music. I’m a strange person like that. This is best thing I’ve ever heard. I’m currently spending time learning it on a toy Yamaha keyboard so that when I get my beast of an 80s Roland keyboard back from my mums I can play this with all the synth cords in the alphabet. This mix gives me tingles mate. Absolutely sensational 👍

Um dos filmes de ficção? mais lindos que eu já assisti. Adoro essa música, mexe com meu espírito e com a minha cabeça. Acredito piamente que existe planos assim, onde as pessoas são absolutamente boas e poderosas. Onde o mau e as doenças não existem e onde somente o amor prevalece sobre tudo e sobre todos. Um dia todos habitaremos planos como o desse fictício? personagem. Toda vez que escuto essa música, me emociono até as lágrimas.
