Born in El Salvador, San Salvador, musician studying sound engineering in SAE Institute Brisbane, Australia. I've been inspired by soundtrack for films and games and on this project Ill share my 2 influences that are film composers. Some of the topics that will be mentioned is their music style and their influences focusing on what makes them unique and sharing their big project that took them to a successful music career.

John Williams

1028154_4_2 — 2023-09-27 00:48:07 UTC

He is an American composer for film and known for his successful music career and he has made soundtrack for movies and some of there soundtracks are in E.T, Jaws, Star Wars, Jurassic park and many more. John Williams describes my style of creativity because of his instrumental, melodica and epic music he makes. Also the structure of composition, organization with instruments and tone gives a personality or character to the song since depending what the movie is about, the song will have a mode. "Although Williams owes debts to all these composers—and many more—every composer stands on the shoulders of giants. Williams's homages may have been a bit more direct than some other composers', but the bottom line is that his mastery of melody and deftness of tone make the Star Wars scores a signal achievement in the history of cinema".

Hans Zimmer

1028154_4_2 — 2023-09-27 00:53:50 UTC

German Composer based in L.A he is know for composing soundtracks lots of 90s ,2000s and movies form now some of his compositions are in Pirates of the Caribbean, Interstellar, Lion King, Inception and many more. Zimmer links with myself because as Composer and Producer with basic skills. I like the structure of orquestration and form all my three influencer I would say that Zimmer has a more epic composition is something that he reflects a lot and also he has progressive's style which he got form the band he played synth, Krakatoa that I will mention of Zimmer's influence. Also this composer link with me because Zimmer's a composer that doesn't has a big knowledge of music theory I know the fundamentals and structure of instruments when composting is a knowledge that got of practicing and experiment. Zimmer did the same and in the end he found his sound and gave mode and character to his music.

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky

1028154_4_2 — 2023-09-27 02:44:25 UTC

Russian Composer form the Romantic period some of his greatest pieces are swan lake 1812 overture, violin concerto, The Nutcracker and much more. John Williams influence is Tchaikovsky because he got inspired by Tchaikovsky artwork, The Nutcracker and Swan Lake when composing soundtrack for Star Wars. the reason is because The Nutcracker and Swan lake and lots of Tchaikovsky compositions shows color, mode and character. "You don't necessarily think Nutcracker Suite when you think Star Wars but it's more appropriate than you might realize that The Force Awakens was released during the Christmas season. Tchaikovsky was a master of orchestral color, and when you listen to his score". (Your Classical, Jay Gabler 2023) As Jay Gabler from Your Classical mentions that the inspiration gave a big impact since the Nutcracker is know for a Christmas them the movie was rereleased during Christmas season. Other great piece form Tchaikovsky is Lake Swan. John Williams got inspired by Lake Swan because that artwork gives a love, romantic emotion and John Williams made a love, romantic composition for Han Solos and Princess Leia Love them in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. "The grandly Romantic theme from Swan Lake is also echoed in Williams's love theme for Han and Leia, from The Empire Strikes Back. Whether or not Williams was explicitly thinking about a dying swan as he penned this elegiac music". (Your Classical, Jay Gabler 2023)

Richard Wagner

1028154_4_2 — 2023-09-27 02:48:01 UTC

German Composer, theater director, polemicist, and conductor from romantic era with very recognized music pieces like Ride of The Valkyries Die Walkure, Tanhauser and many more. Wagner is best know for a revolutionary style. Also John Williams got inspired by Wagner because of his dangly dissonant and cinematic theme. "Daringly dissonant and boldly dramatic for its time, Wagner's four-opera cycle was the original "cinematic" composition, its lurid Romantic vocabulary providing the basic toolbox for a century's worth of film composers". (Your Classical, Jay Gabler 2023) A good example of using Wagner revolutionary them with Williams star war theme is in the Darth Vader and his evil empire theme giving that mode of marching soldier with an evil plan. "Where the ordinary filmgoer most conspicuously hears Wagner in Star Wars, is in the brass-laden theme for Darth Vader and his evil Empire—which is distinctively reminiscent of Wagner's music for his majestic Valkyries". (Your Classical, Jay Gabler 2023)

Carl Orff

1028154_4_2 — 2023-09-27 04:10:27 UTC

German Composer from 20th century best known for his great masterpiece O Fortuna- Carmina Burana that inspired John Williams and Orff has been a good influence to John Williams because of cinematic, epic and terrifying music pieces. O Fortuna- Carmina Burana has been a great influence for Jaws, Jurassic park, Star wars and Indian Jones evil, terrifying music theme, giving an emption if something terrible is gonna happen. "That's Carl Orff's Carmina Burana, whose O Fortuna choir has been cribbed for seemingly every movie that culminates in a supernatural apocalypse. When it came time for Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi to duel to the death with Darth Maul in The Phantom Menace, Williams knew who to call". (Your Classical, Jay Gabler 2023)

Ennio Morricone

1028154_4_2 — 2024-02-10 02:28:38 UTC

Italian Composer, orchestrator and conductor for films known for great composition in classic movies like The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, Once upon in America, Once Upon in the West and many more. Ennio Morricone has been a big influence to Zimmer because Morricone ahs been on the music for film scene and Zimmer has mentioned that he has admire his work, compositions and learned lots of things like industry and scores. "We were both in Bonn coincidentally and we ended up meeting at the Beethoven house, so that was a defining moment in my life: being at the Beethoven house, having Ennio Morricone explain the scores to me. That was a pretty great day. Both Ennio and I have tried to experiment with sounds, to experiment with orchestrations and just the sheer joy of having a group of musicians around us who we repeatedly work with, which is obviously very much the case with him". (Gramophone 2020) Ennio Morricone also started in the European film industry same with Zimmer so they come from the same backyard as film composers.

Jay Rifkin

1028154_4_2 — 2024-02-13 02:20:34 UTC

Jay Rifkin has been in the industry with Zimmer, making lots of big projects (their big hit was The Lion King 1994) also learning from each other but what makes him important in this AIM 110 project is that Zimmer got an inspiration form him. in the film music and all the industry Rifkin is into record and film producer but most important he partnered with Hans Zimmer for all the composition and production. The two musicians met in England and that is where they started making music, later on they made their own studio in Brighton for compassion, recording and producing creating projects that way they would get experience and start their business in music. "At the time there wasn't a lot going on in Brighton from the recording studio point of view, so we were kind of a magnet for a lot of different bands and activity. This soon morphed into playing less music, and I started producing and engineering, working with a number of different bands and really whatever came about; it wasn't in any exact organized manner then." (Jay Rifkin, Sound on Sound Mark Wherry, October 2002) Rifkin explains that the first step that got him into he music and production business was collaborating with different bands or artist offering service to record their music in there studio, make the production and making music. Rifkin noticed that his main position in this role is being into the production and sound engineering, so that is where he got Hans on focusing on more into the behind the scene role and making a strong relationship and collaborations with Zimmer.
