Science Fiction Music And Its Impact On The Genre

By Leslie Ball


Science fiction has always been a popular type of genre when it comes to films and music. The reason as to why this type of genre is very popular is because people in general have a fascination of outer space as well as futuristic things. Of course in the entertainment industry, science fiction music has actually played quite a big role in promoting this particular genre.

In general, this type of musical genre would make use of spacelike sounds that would also make use of marching beats. In both the film and musical industry, many composers would make use of these future type sounds for their creations. This is apparent in a lot of compositions that people can see up unto these days.

Now first off, the sci fi films are actually the ones that would have very popular songs because of the scores that would add more effect. Of course almost everyone would probably know about the film Star Wars. The opening score has always been one of the most popular scores in the entire history of film music. Now the Sith march beat is also another very popular sci fi score that would come from this movie.

Now other scores that have made it quite famous would be none other than the X files and Star Trek. Star Trek has always been a fan favorite and many would also love the scores that the movie would produce. The X files also has a very good soundtrack that would actually give an alien and space like feeling.

Of course there are also a lot of songs that would fall into the sci fi genre when it comes to music. In fact, there are a lot of sci fi themed bands that would make use of sounds that are robotic with synth music that would give a space sound. Of course this would also be supplemented with lyrics that are also spaced themed.

Now in the rock scene, there is none other than the pioneer of space rock itself with the band Pink Floyd. Pink Floyd had always made use of space like and alien sound effects in their songs in order to create something that is a little different. Even their lead singer sings like he is actually from a very far away planet that most people cannot reach.

Even today, there are still a lot of bands out there who would actually go into the sci fi musical genre. These days, club music like techno or house would make use of robotic voices, robotic sounds, and futuristic beats. Of course the synth pop bands would also follow with their far out sounds.

So for those who are interested to know about this genre, here are some things to know about. Now do take time to notice that a lot of composers and singers come from Tucson AZ. This genre is actually very popular in that city and many people would pay tribute to this genre.
