By Leslie Ball


In the film and music industry, the science fiction or simply sci fi genre is in fact very popular and has a big long line of followers. Ever since the dawn of ages, many people have been amazed by outer space and how the future may lead to the expansion of the human race to other places in space. It is because of this that science fiction music became popular because of the movies and the bands.

Of course one will definitely know right away that a song is of the sci fi genre by the marching beats and the futuristic sound effects. Of course there are a lot of composers who made it quite big in the field because of their compositions. The composers are very heavy users of sound effects and other things.

In sci fi films, the scores are what would give the films their full effect because it adds both drama and effect. Now Star Wars is one of those films that would have extremely memorable scores. A classical marching song would of course be the opening theme of Star Wars when the movie is just about to start. Another very memorable sci fi score would be the marching beat of the Sith army lead by Darth Vader

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.

Now not only the film industry makes use of this genre of sounds but also even the musical industry. There are actually a lot of bands and singers that makes use of a lot of space like sounds that would sound alien like or futuristic. These bands would fall into the genre of space music because of these particular sounds as well as the themed lyrics.

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.

Of course following the previous bands, there were many synth pop bands that also followed the trend and created space like music too. In fact, house music which would include bands like Daft Punk or Stardust would also make use of futuristic effects. These days, techno club music would also make use of these effects as well.

So basically, those are some of the things one should know about this genre. Now there are a lot of upcoming bands that would come from Tucson AZ. With the popularity of this kind of genre, there are actually a lot of people who would want to go into space music.
