Electronic Inspiration

Throughout the process of this production I have said I wanted to use electronic music in our film, I felt that it would fit in perfectly to our film, I have mentioned that I have been inspired by a range of different artists such as Bonobo, The Chemical Brothers and also Aphex Twin; all of these musicians make a variety of different music, but I think they also have a lot in common in that they make music that I believe could be used as score for film. 

I wanted to look at other composers that have actually made music for film, and apply it to my own film and how I would create a similar electronic sounds. 
So i decided to look at Blade Runner, this film is well known for its electronic soundtrack which was composed by Vangelis.
Here is a snip of the soundtrack. 



This sounds works well as a film score as it is very subtle, and it is the subtle side of this that I want to take inspiration from, although I want my sound design to be glitchy and over the top in some parts of the film, I also want to be subtle where I feel it be necessary. I want to have some subtle electronic tones working all the way along the film, I want to use these to build up the end and to reflect the moods of the characters. I feel that in the video link about it does that very well and I could understand how it would reflect a mood or tone.
