Well Known Science Fiction Music And Sound Effects

By Deanne Shepard


Movies, radio, television and theater all have a need for great soundtracks. A lot of science fiction music and fantasy oriented recordings provide a telling of some of the greatest stories ever told. Books, video games and live action often bring different sounds to life. Science fiction recordings can be found in mysteries, sci-fi epics and suspense thrillers.

There are also a number of television shows like Star Trek, Lost in Space, Twilight Zone and others that host some of the best and scariest sounds ever associated with film or television. Songs are often repeated at the beginning or end of each episode with special attention being paid to premieres and finales. While most accompaniment is provided at the beginning and end of a program, there are instances in which songs can accompany a plot, theme or simply appear in the background.

There are so many science fiction films, it can often be hard to keep up with all the music throughout a film or show. For this reason, soundtracks were invented early on in the days of radio and television. After which, the movie industry adopted the process and has created a soundtrack for productions in a number of different genres.

Cable television, Satellite and Netflix all host full shows with multiple seasons and episodes. At times, some shows may opt to change the design and nor the music from season to season or episode to episode. One of the best examples of this is that of the opening to the Showtime series Weeds, in which the introductory music and visuals change from season to season along with a different artist singing the theme song. .

A song can move a person to laughter, a song can move people to tears. Most often, it depends on a combination of elements in a film or television show. These are, the soundtrack, the plot, the theme and the cast. All of which hold an important part in creating a successful production and soundtrack.

These artists tell stories of alien inhabitants and love, fantasy, wonder and woe. Among the artist represented are DaftPunk, Elton John, Flight of the Conchords, The Vandals, Blondie, The Killers, Angie Aparo and many more. The songs vary but most include different versions of rocket songs while others focus on the ore ordinary side of science fiction life like artificial information, robots and time travel.

While Fantasy is part sci-fi and part its own genre, some fantastical music has come out of the Fantasy movie and television genre. Two artists which represent Fantasy in music are Enya and Sky Cries Mary, both of which paint a picture with lyrics while also entertaining the audience. While the Sci-Fi genre tends to provide a deeper viewing experience, Fantasy often takes the audience on a journey.

Whether live or pre-recorded, soundtracks have a place in the hearts and homes of people all over the world. While those related to fantasy and science fiction programming are often incredible, some of the smaller productions also produce great soundtracks. A love that has now lead to people all over the world collecting different ones in various genres.
