Favorite composers? Either raw composers or old composers that have their music in films...

Cliff Martinez's soundtrack to Solaris is really good. I even bought the CD.

Yes that's why I like Martinez, the soundtrack made the film

Thanks, funnily enough /mu/ hasn't given one response to my thread

Japanese are OBJECTIVELY the best composers. Westfags can't even compete.

Opinion discarded

No John Carpenter? Fuck you, OP, you faggot.

A+ user!

Fuck off

There's a lot of great Western soundtrack music, but if you consider both on the whole then Japan is better. Same is true of game music.

No, how about you fuck off, faggot.

Without Richard Wagner there wouldn't be any film music.

His Metropolis was shite tho

them's fighting words

Yank Tiersen is pretty good

he better be, with a name like that

Bear McCreary

bach and arvo part are uber god tier

Rick Wakeman. He wrote and played both contemporary and classical adaptations.

Wrong.

And wrong.

At least prove it dude. Name one good japanese composer, I can name a better western one.

Can't remember the last time I watched a Harry Potter movie so I remember little of the music from any of them and I haven't seen Solaris period

The music is so good you can just listen to it verbatim, but the music is definitely worth checking out. Solaris is pretty good and Martinez' score made the film as well

I used to listen to Solaris' score on youtube, seems they took down video with the full score. But I ripped it beforehand, so here's a link for anyone, it's all in one mp3.

...

I might actually have it somewhere

...

Then kys, because Solaris was bad, and so was the soundtrack.

...

I miss demo.

He is cancer just like every other anime youtuber of his kind, e.g. gigguk.

numo

Gigguk is a Redditor, Demo a user. I rest my case.

r/anime is actually less of a shithole and less casual than /a/.

t. Redditor

I'm not a redditor because /a/ fails to reach even the very low level of r/anime. This issue doesn't even have anything to do with me. If you want to complain to someone, complain to /a/.

GTFO reddit

This is an /a/ problem, not my problem. Randomly accusing me of being a redditor will not somehow elevate /a/'s level of discussion.
