Lets say one day someone comes to you and gives you the power to "hear" music while going through your everyday actions. Except it's original music done by a composer of your choice that adapts to your situations dynamically.
Personally, I've been listening to John Barry's Enigma score alot lately. I think that the type of music Barry does would be cool to have following me around. Just the right amounts of romance, suspense, and action (from the good ole bond influenced days). So how about it.... who would you pick???

David Arnold. He knows how to write themes that grab you emotionally, he's got the r&b thing down, the techno funk thing down, and goshdarnit, he knows how to use an orchestra. That or Nicholas Dodd... but I won't get into that.
Arnold is da man. He can score my life any time... not that I would ever ask a person to do such a thing. Eek.

Since my life sucks, it would be without a score. Or maybe some little kid playing chopsticks all the time.

I'd just track my life to the car chase music from Peacemaker, since I love that stuff so much!

Just to make Shaun happy if he reads this... Media Ventures. I think everyone could work together to score my life. Since veryone is working together, they could take the best tracks from each composer.Clayton

Eric Serra is good. The 5th Element i find my slef huming parts of at work. Bomb in the Hotel, Akta and another cue.Sometimes while driving to work i find myself again huming, score from Duel (Where he is going arounf a curve and his car has overheated and is slowing down.)
And many others.
My life is complex and yet simple. There would be no one composer for it would not suffice. Multiple composers would fit the bill.
From James Horner, Jerry Goldsmith, Joel Goldsmith, Mark Snow, Christophe Beck, Eric Serra and Velton Ray Bunch there are many.Sometime i also hum a song from a Nissan commercial. The song has no words and they stoped showing the commercial a few years ago.

Well, someone already beat to the punch but... Horner, because it's the same thing over and over again *nudge nudge*.

I’d have the marvelous Elmer Bernstein score my life starting with the
childhood innocence expressed in To Kill a Mockingbird. Wish my
college days would have been scored to Animal House, but life was never
that wild or crazy. I have enjoyed decades of exultation listening to all of his
westerns ever recorded and hope that so many of his works still not
released will be released in the last third of my life. I just don’t want to
have my life scored to Bringing Out the Dead for a long time.NP Deep End of the Ocean

Duh! Jerry Goldsmith! Nobody knows how to say "I know how you feel" more than him.[Message edited by David Maxx on 07-23-2002]
