By Francis Riggs


Lets face it. Music has been a part of our lives. It doesnt matter what genre you prefer. If you find yourself loving the beat, then you just found your own brand of accompaniment. Such is the love for this craft that we now see the entertainment industry flooding with recent releases by different musical artists.

From pop to rock, we see large groups of people going gaga for certain songs. Its easy to identify those most popular ones, especially those that are always featured on shows and radio programs. There are unique selections though that do not get much attention but are characterized with their awesome arrangement. Science fiction music is one of them.

The way on how they are arranged, the lyrics placed on them as well as the voice of the artist of the song are all important factors that contribute to the popularity of this genre. If you are looking for some of the best picks for a play, then you would love to know that you have a variety of options out there. You just have to practice caution when selecting them. Here is how you can go about with the selection.

Quality of instrument blending. How well does one instrument blend with the rest. Do they sound good. How does it appeal to you. Even before you get a hold of the lyrics, the instrumentals can already set the mood for the whole piece.

Story as stated on the lyrics. If you are using it as a sort of accompaniment for a particular play that you are directing, then choosing one music that has a relevant lyrics is a must. Every music has a story to tell and you need to be careful in making sure that your choice tells something related to the concept that you are working on.

Feel the mood. This is a tricky part when it comes to listening to music. Sometimes, there is just this unique feeling when listening to a piece that makes you feel so in touch with it. Its hard to explain but its there. For it to do its job well, you have to consider its appeal to the story that you have in your play. Does it convey the same emotion.

Preference. Of course we have this issue about you preference. If you wait for all of the people involved in the planning to agree on a pick, then you may not get anything started. If you are assigned to choose the accompaniment, then you should count in your preference. You have have them validate it later.

If you search enough, you should be able to find several scifi inspired pieces. Some of them are even used in extraterrestrial movies in the past. Know the details of what you are working on and begin trimming down your options. If you need help, you can always ask for a back up from your team.

You should not underestimate what music can do to your whole work. It has the potential of making or breaking your play. Learn to get the general mood that a piece gives and see if it fits any of the particular parts where you plan on having it.
