Intro

For now, the only thing here is the descripts Adam wrote about his Scores project. I actually think that whole project was really interesting and it got me to be more appreciative/interested in the making of OST's and how pure music can carry you. Before, I only liked music if it had something to sing along to but now I have the DOOM soundtrack in my study playlist and would like to be more interested in classical scores.

As an introduction to what the Adam Young Scores project is, he took a major event in history (my favourite album is the RMS Titanic) and provided a whole soundtrack based on it. I've never heard anyone do something like that before and the soundtrack for the RMS Titanic made my heart rise and break alongside it. I hope that piqued your interest and here's a little excerpt from what Adam says about the project on his website;

"Stories are infinite. They offer us the ability to retell them according to the way we imagine them. Thus, I want to create musical narratives that aid in the telling of stories that move [me], according to [my] imagination. And I want to share them with you. Starting February 1, for as long as I feel moved to do so, I will release a conceptual “film score” each month based on my interpretation of stories that mean something to me. Each score will be accompanied by a visual companion, created from scratch by a visual artist I admire (2016 will feature the work of the incredible James R. Eads). I hope you are as inspired by the music as I have been to create it. With love, Adam."

WOW the "2016" hit me like a shoe on the face. Has it really been that long??

Silence

We all know the story.

A century has passed since Titanic found its final resting place in the North Atlantic, yet the story is still as stirring as ever. I will never cease to be amazed at how vulnerable and fragile we as human beings are despite our presumptions of technological infallibility, and the story of Titanic drives that notion home tenfold. I wanted to capture feelings of excitement, premonition, and outright horror according to the way I imagine the story of the ill-fated luxury steamship. As such, this is my interpretation of the tragedy that shook the world.

CSM-LM Docking

If there is a historical event I wish I could've witnessed more than any other, it may well be the events that took place during July 16-24, 1969.

Men went to the moon, returned to Earth, and history changed forever. For as long as I can remember, I've marveled at the story of the Apollo 11 mission, and the older I get, the more inspired I feel. In the history of mankind, perhaps no other technological leap forward symbolizes the same imagination, humanity and wonder quite like the Apollo 11 mission does, and it is these types of emotions I want to capture with music according to the way I feel them. This is my interpretation of what happened in July of 1969.

Troops Advance Inland

In 1944, after years of planning, the Allies launched an invasion upon Nazi Germany and converged on the coast of France, beginning the reclamation of occupied Europe.

In anticipation, Hitler fortified German defenses in hopes of countering the Allies and driving them back into the sea. What the Allies didn't know as they stepped onto the shores of Europe was that Hitler was waiting for them. The ensuing battle was gruesome. At a place codenamed Omaha Beach, hundreds of Americans fought and died for the freedom of others, and it is the memory of these men I want to honor with this album. This is my interpretation of what occurred that fateful day in 1944 on Omaha Beach.
