Finding Out About Science Fiction Music

By Young Lindsay


Decades ago many individuals enjoyed watching certain movies and television shows that were in existence. They knew that the films would always have science fiction music that would be quite entertaining. Every viewer remembers "Lost In Space, " "Barbarella, " "Logan's Run" and other great shows from the past. They had themes that were composed by John Williams, Vangelis, Barry Gray, Maurice Jarre and Jerry Goldsmith. Sometimes these tunes were very exciting and full of pure energy. At other times the theme songs were very flat and boring.

Jerry Goldsmith was a well known composer who did his best to liven up outer space shows. He took the time to write a great tune for "Star Trek" back in the 1960's and did some of the musical notes for the feature films. Everyone around enjoyed watching this classic television show which featured Captain Kirk and his lively crew who were always getting into all types of situations. Each week viewers tuned in to see all of these futuristic people who loved adventure.

This famous man also loaned his talents to the producers of "Logan's Run" which was a 1970's classic. Every person who viewed this film were amazed by the special effects and dramatic tunes. A character named Logan lived within a world that did not appreciate older people. Everyone around had to be exterminated at their thirtieth birthday. Logan tried his best to enjoy this promiscuous society before his number was up.

"Logan's Run" is a bizarre film which really plays upon someone's sanity. The great tunes heard within this movie can be very intimidating and scary. Whenever someone thinks about the series "Lost In Space" their mind will immediately go towards the composer called John Williams.

During the first two seasons of this show the tune was very smooth and easy going. The producers of this show wanted to make the sounds more disturbing and dramatic during the third season of this campy show. Mr. Williams then instructed the director to include a countdown at the start of the show before his tune went into action.

John Williams had been a very successful composer and people would always come to him whenever they needed expert advice about musical tunes. George Lucas asked for his help when he was trying to place certain sounds on a little movie called "Star Wars." Hans Solo and Luke Skywalker each had their own melody whenever their characters were upon the screen.

Jane Fonda was very proud to play the lead character within the feature known as "Barberella." She portrayed a woman who used her sex appeal to obtain information. The government sent her on a mission to locate a missing agent that had the power to destroy the world.

The unscrupulous agent also places her into a dreaded sex machine which causes pleasure and pain. The tunes used within this film are very upbeat and psychedelic sounding. Every scene within this motion picture has a unique sound that will amaze every viewer around.
