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.

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.

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.

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 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.
