Solely played film score this week, since I haven’t played too much score yet. Highlighted 34 of my favorite film scores (and one score from TV that was too good not to play). Wanted to play some more nontraditional stuff, but I also threw in a few classics for good measure.
Lots of synthy and electronic score from horror films, rock score from some of my favorite artists and funky/soulful score from classic ’70s films. Check out the embedded Spotify playlist if you’re looking for some background music to study to.
