Movies are a large part of our entertainment world. But
where would Jaws have been without the heart stopping soundtrack, or
Star Wars without the Imperial sound of the Republic heralding Darth
Vader's entrance? Music makes the viewers feel the chills, the
excitement, the pain of it's characters. So, why not bring that to your
writing? Create a soundtrack by which you write your stories.
Does Hip Hop represent your Urban Character, trying to
find his place in the world? What about the majestic sounds of nature to
bring you to the forest of your imagination? This quarter we focus on
our love of Jinn, and the legends surrounding them. Here are a few
soundtracks to inspire your imagination.
The original television soundtrack from 2001 Sci-Fi
release of Dune draws you into the depths of the desert with it's
haunting melodies. Be swept away with Graeme Revell's powerful
compositions and let your imagination soar.
If Dune's not to your taste, then how about the sweeping
melodies of Bond, the quartet of femme fatales on stringed instruments.
Their beauty is second to their love of music. Enjoy the sounds of a
Gypsy Rhapsody or a stringed rendition of 007's theme. The albums Shine
and Born are top favorites to this soundtrack-making writer.
The Staff here at Enchanted Ramblings was saddened to
hear about the death of R/B's great, Luther Vandross. We will miss his
wonderfully inspiring love songs. For loving ballads, and soul wrenching
music, look to his Ultimate Collection, The Essential Album, and Your
Secret Love. His music will continue to inspire for generations to
come.
If you are a project jumper like me, nothing gets you in
the mood to write a different WIP (work-in-progress) like a soundtrack
shift.
Good luck in your endeavors.
Much love, Auren Faire
