I was saddened to hear of Ennio Morricone leaving this world. I was wondering how much his musical influence has had overtly, or subliminally on exploration.
Some of us wanted to be Clint (or Clintess) Eastwood in the movies and instead of loading the Colt revolver and chewing on a cheroot cigar, we're loading a Petzl Stop and chewing on a lump of carbide while exploring things, and finding things measureless to man. We're all looking for something and I reckon Ennio's work's sums it up on emotional and practical levels.
He also used a lot of alternative sounds, and I think there's gentleman on the forum that plays a Jew's Harp that Ennio also used on his works.
Obviously there's comparisons to other composers, so in my humble opinion, I'll describe those as impressive, and Ennio's as beautiful. The Spaghetti Westerns, Malena and Cinema Paradiso, to name a few are sublime.
So, I'll start with Ecstasy of Gold (Estasi of Gold), which is the most caving dig frenzy track I could relate. Thoughts and contributions welcome.
