Free Music Notes for Curse of the Golden Flower (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
Free Music Review: Exotic music from Far East!
Hit: 5 Stars
I didn't have time to go and watch the film....
I bought the CD, a few weeks ago...."blindfold", because I'm conviced so far, that Asian composers are doing a terrific job, when they are composing music for films.
What I'm trying to say is... scores like... The 7 Swords, Fearless,
Crouching Tiger-Hidden Dragon, Hero and House of Flying Daggers, have very high dose of
that "magic and exotic", music scale of Far-Eastern music! (music scale is a progression of notes in a specific order).
The score becomes "sonic explosive" with the additional touch of Epic music-structure. This "mixture" also contains, great chorals and great solo china-flute "passages" from a live flute master-player......or it's a Japanese "shakuhachi"???
Great China-gongs, drums all over with the final result.... to be simply amazing!
We are used in the western world, to hear scores that sound almost alike.
Is it because the western composers, have no more "ideas"?
I don't know what is wrong, but one thing is for sure.....
Trust the Asian composers!
Buy this CD!
It's excellent with a lot of China "flavor"!!!
A big Bravo to the composer!
PS: Please read the comments below..... By the way.... Many thanks to Eriko Kawahara.
I was informed my Eriko Kawahara that the composer is Japanese!!!
