Music

I kinda scare myself sometimes. Sometimes I will hear a piece of music and place the composer. Which is thoroughly bizarre considering how unmusical I am. It could also be something to do with how prolific these particular composers are.

I was watching the beginning of Gladiator tonight and thinking, this sounds familiar, who wrote that? It took me a moment to pick it (it didn't help that I'd had a little wine to celebrate the settlement of this place two years ago today) but then I realised it sounded exactly like the music in The Rock.

OK so maybe that wasn't a really a good example. One that scared me more was picking James Horner as the composer of Patriot Games just by listening to it. And not so scary is picking Danny Elfman as the composer of just about anything he's done - he's got a very distinctive sound.

Must be about bed time? whatchareckon?
