Loch and John Mims, editors, discuss the music for the film and give some feedback to our composer, Hub Moore. As usual, the feedback proves useless. The music, on the other hand, is really starting to mesh. The song, Car Porn, is looking to be the highlight jam of the fall. Still, extensive discussion of what kind of overall “vibe” we’re after remains unresolved. I, of course, vote for chill. Loch pushes for ambient electro-post-prog Euro-trance. And Cory stands behind badass (she does own 12 snakes, after all).
However it gets pinned, Hub’s coming with 18 brand new, built for speed tracks that’ll leave you screaming for more (or screaming for Moore, depending on what you’re into).
Get pumped.
Matching this music up with some of the higb-speed highway footage would be amazing. Roy/Maher flying across the states jamming to the tunes… ha!
Will the movie use any popular/main-stream tracks?
Paradoxically I doubt that Diem/Turner nor Roy/Maher
ever listened to any music while on their way… let’s also
not forget that unlike almost 100% of their copycats
the two first road-movies, Two Lane Blacktop and
Vanishing Point had no other soundtrack that what was
incidentally played in a gas station or a lousy tape-deck.
TMHO “Gumball 3000: The Movie” has one of the best
OST of road movies, and (paradoxically too) it’s mostly
“chilly” (it can be heard on many Top Gear reviews).
As we all read in the driver, there is no music playing when Alex Roy hits the street.
While obviously heavily subjective, I find that the electronic-fused genres tend to cater best in the cruising situations. Ambient is a little mellow, for my tastes, but something much ‘hardcore’ like intense DnB can be syncopating to the driver. Sitting contently in the middle, however, I find downtempo–maybe others can concur. Big names like DJ Shadow, Thievery Corporation and Tosca come to mind, but it would be interesting to hear what others find accommodating.
Personally I find techno/electronica/D&B extremely played out as soundtracks to driving scenes. I and most other true car enthusiasts would rather listen to the actual engine sounds where available.
If the in-car audio is lacking, why not try some instrumentals with a rock or even new wave vibe? Those genres would be a lot less generic, and would fit better with the period.
