d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 For a very basic description: Intense Symphony/Orchestra music. Epics that build up and get the adrenalin flowing. Hear this music in a lot of Sci-Fi and War flicks, but I'm looking for lesser-known stuff (not John Williams). Here are some examples: xIDHYqE0Jg4 nXmRNqvjitM hVcAxRePLZE HueF2PE_g0o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unforgiven Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I've heard it referred to in a lot of ways, you'll see a lot of people just call it 'epic score' or something like that. There are a lot of artists/composers that specialize in this type of thing. Here is a sample video of some you may not have heard, can always youtube the artists list. (up quality to 480p...sound is cleaner) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpsEnUesRUQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PokerPacker Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 reminds me of some of the more powerful classical music. Try Dvorak's 9th symphony movement #4 for starters: yctfXIqugXc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan since a Fetus Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 The score from Inception was nice. Hans Zimmer - that guy is fantastic. Here is his discography: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Zimmer_discography I was going to mention him, but the OP was looking for relatively unknowns. I listen to this music, but not real familiar with names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enter Apotheosis Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 If you have to define that kind of music within a genre I guess you'd just label it "orchestral OSTs" or something along those lines. Genres in general are a pretty crummy way of categorizing music, though. Anyway, Williams, Zimmer, and Mansell are probably the guys that everyone is familiar with (even if they don't recognize the names) but there are a lot of smaller studios that produce this kind of stuff almost exclusively. Looking up "epic music" on YouTube is a good way to get leads, pulling up the sound tracks to "epic" movies (even if the movie itself was bad), and doing a little digging on who composed the pieces you liked will probably yield the best results.
