RE: Film Sountracks
Personally, I'd take a Wavestation and a few of the Proteus modules if I was into scoring... I worked a lot with the Proteus and Wavestations while in school (they had a Pro One that everyone ignored.. WHY, GOD, WHY???? .... And at the Uni, they've got either a Moog 55 Or a Roland System 100 (Can't remember which, but both killer modular systems.........), and both of those series seem EXCELLENT units for film scoring.. I did a lot with those, trying to get 'em to sound synthetic, but they kept reminding me of great film scores and not the Industrial shit I was into at the time.. (Come to think of it, going to college was actually what got me into this.. Much as I rag on "higher education"..... 7 years ago, a professor said that "Project Studios" were going to be the promise of the future.. That dedicated individuals with a small amount of capital were going to be able to produce pieces of music of current studio quality, in the electronic realm (Not in the scope of multimillion dollar franchise vocalists and such, but Techno, Industrial, Musique Concrete', and the like..) .. And look where I am now... Championing this cause as the future and current reality of musical expression.. Anyway, I'm off on a rant.. The JV's are good, I'd like a wavestation anyway, and I can personally vouch for the Proteus modules as good scoring machines (The orchestral sounds on the Proteus/1 are brilliant, but who knows when you'll need the Proteus/World to get that cool vietnamese wind instrument noise (As used in numerous soundtracks and at least one of my favorite John B Drum and Bass tracks) and digeridoos?
