Has anyone any idea what Joss has in mind for the music for the movie.
Listening to bbc radio 3 prom. concert this afternoon, I discovered a group called The Silk Road Ensemble. Which specialise in a mixture of enthnic music. Blending it together but still being about to tell what it is.
I think it would be perfect, it was a sort of East/West fusion, both were there, they went well together, but you could still spot the influences. Sort of celtic/gypsy strings with chinese music with baroque/madrigal type bits. And since bluegrass "western" twang music has celtic/baroque roots, I am pretty sure they could make that work with the chinese influence.
There was some Mongolian warbling also, which while impressive, I am not sure that would fit.

The "I want to see Serenity make $$$$$$" part of me would love an Oh-Brother-esq soundtrack with eastern chimy undertones. Something pretty much commercial as fuck.
The rest of me would like something really understated - the closest thing I can think to describe what I'd like would be Beck's last album Seachange. It has a mood.
Bottom line - No John Williams-esq shit.

I don't suppose anyone knows if Greg Edmonson is going to be tapped for composer again? I think it'd be appropriate to have him at the musical helm for Serenity, considering the great stuff he did for the show.

I asked this very question on the OB just last week and was assured by several regular posters that Greg is confirmed as score composer. Thing is, the IMDB cast list leaves out the music composer.

I would also like to see Greg edmondson come back and do the music for this I really enjoyed and still do enjoy the music in the show.

I will make it simple, I want the exact same music as in the series. That is it!

Never use John Williams and the word shit in the same sentence. Ever.

I don't know as I trust anyone who can say with a straight face that "The Raider's March" is shit.
