I was browsing the IMDB and found a post on Silent Hill where someone said they should have Evanescence do the soundtrack for the movie. So... any better suggestions? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, Coil. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Godspeed You Black Emperor! would be one of my first choices I think and maybe Sigur Ros? Others: Trent Reznor, Angelo Badalamenti, Aphex Twin |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It seems that some people want Yamaoka to do it. He did the game OSTs. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I personally don't think it would be wise to put any pop music in there, otherwise its going to be like a damn music video. Just some good old fashioned mellow scary shit. Maybe even Nurse With Wound. Though its unlikely... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, i would definately go for Akira Yamaoka myself. Hope he ends up doing it. Just thought it would be a good discussion, seeing what other artists would be able to create the dark atmospere required for Silent Hill. Maybe someone will mention someone I haven't heard of that I could check out :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If Hollywood has their way, probably Korn or Marilyn Manson will be doing the OST... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i wouldn't call Sigur Ros, GSYBE! popular. I think Trent Reznor could easily make a perfect Silent Hill soundtrack... damn, I wish he'd hurry up and release something! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well the director seems like a decent choice, thank god Paul Anderson is doing Resident Evil 2. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hahaha, yeah, that Paul Anderson, I'd swear that Vincent Gallo dissed on him in an interview, but then again, who doesn't he dis on? As for Sigur Ros, I think they kind of a pop band trying to be electronica. I'm not sure if their stuff is dark enough. Aphex could definitly make an awesome OST for it if he uses the same methods for SAW II. I've never heard anything from GSYBE. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm feeling a Yamaoka/AFX collaboration. I dunno how it would turn out, but all I know is it would scare my s0x0rs off! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Evanescence would be fucking awful. That band is so boring and she sounds like she should be singing for a Folgers ad. I think if there has to be a goddamned movie, Yamaoka should do it. People who would be interesting though, would be Aphex Twin (think flex soundtrack), definitely Angelo Badalamenti, certain Swans material would work I think. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I agree, Evanescence sucks ass, all their songs sound the same, and that girl's voice (which is for some reason is highly acclaimed) gets annoying after 1 song. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Fuck everyone. No Evanescence, no Coil, no anything. Leave it to Akira Yamaoka. A Silent Hill movie could easily become a horrid fiasco with no context, like the Resident Evil movie. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, exactly. Actually, Kenji Kawai would be good, as well. He helped out with something in the audio department on Silent Hill 3, can't remember what, though. He's done the Ghost in the Shell and Ringu soundtracks, which are both really nice. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
even fuck a Yamaoka/RDJ collab? =/ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You probably haven't heard Coil if you don't think they could make a good OST for it. Also Chris Vrenna could probably do a good job. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i agree Yamaoka is first choice, but come on, are you really saying Coil, Badalamenti, Aphex etc couldn't make a perfect Silent Hill soundtrack? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
heh someone sent me the Silent Hill 3 OST mp3s lately..; i'm just missing the hidden tracks and three tracks are lacking 20s. at the end but i really love it! =) if i find it somewhere, i'll buy it ^^ i'm addicted to some of the songs now... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Kenji Kawai is excelent too, cost me a fortune to get hold of the Ghost in the Shell soundtrack, was worth it though. |
||||||||
|

im with ophecks. silent hill wouldnt be silent hill without akira yamaoka. i saw that thread on imdb and was laughing a lot. nobody else would get it right, he's an essential part to the experience of the game. i dont care about afx or coil, despite them being good, what have they got to do with silent hill? nothing. id rather have a soundtrack that actually pretains to the movie and games style instead of just stupid licensing deals for more peopular artists to gain attention. not saying coil wouldnt do a terrible job, theyd probably do a good job, but coil hasnt worked on the sound design for any silent hill game. and akira has done all three, and produced the entire game of the last. he's essential. im such a picky bastard on this issue though. but my mind is made up: akira yamaoka |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Well the way the film industry is, don't expect it to be done by Yamaoka, take Final Fantasy: Spirits Within for example, the music was done by Elliot Goldenthal rather than Nobuo Uematsu who is famous for doing the FF sountracks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"i dont care about afx or coil, despite them being good, what have they got to do with silent hill?" An ability to create the kind of music needed? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I doubt that Yamaoka will do it, not cause he wouldn't agree to it, just cause a room full of dickheads will decide against it, they will probably pick some typical person who has never made anything that stands out, to make some half assed OST. Which in tern will kill the mood of the movie. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I wouldnt let anyone fuckin do it except the guy whos been doing it all along, any one else and it would ruin it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Maybe I think to highly of AFX but I'm confident he'd be able to bang out one hell of a soundtrack. it may not sound exactly like the game, but you all know it would be retarded awesome, admit it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hell yeah, that would be rad! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah it would be awsome, but it wouldnt be what it called for, youre overlooking the fact that these artists have never reproduced anything like what this guy does for these games, plain and simple. i think it would just try to be a "cool" factor, not a "good" factor. and besides, I really dont want them to make Silent Hill movie, moslty because I doubt they can make it as scary as the games. end of story. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I disagree, SAW II sounds fairly close to the music in those games. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Labium Sweat: no.... it doesn at all. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and why does the music have to EXACTLY the same as the games? For me, it just has to be a good, dark, scary ambient soundtrack which most of the artists mentioned in this thread are capable of. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Maybe I'm exagerrating, I've only played Silent Hill 2... and I've remembered it sounding like SAW II. The music basically has to fit in with a dark creepy dream, no cheesy orchestral crap. If they can't get Yamaoka, RDJ is the man for the job! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
pantaloaimon: no. not at all, it should be the same dood. it has to be the same music, dont fix it if its not broken right? . |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i hate fanboys and their narrow minds, tree grey stripe spots tracks from SAW II that are very similar to Yamaoka's work, like it or not, other people could make just as awesome a soundtrack as Yakaoka. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
pantalaimon: whatever, those songs are amazing, but they arent silent hill, I think if you gave other artists to do a silent hill themed soundtrack they would just distort it to their version of silent hill, i dont want that. blasphemy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"it has to be the same music," not at all, it just has to be similar... how do you even know Yamaoka would make it exactly the same as the games? Maybe he has other ideas for the kind of sound he wants for a Silent Hill movie? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
whatever, dont be a fuckin goof just beacuse you love AFX or any other artist, your the fanboy you want someone you like to make it cause it would be "cool", not good or the best..... its stupid to think that they would do a better job that the guy whos been doing it for 3 games, and I own all three of those soundtracks and they are scarier than any release by any aritst ive ever owned or listened to, so why the flying fuck would I want someone else to do it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Okay, here is the thing, Yamaoka is not going to be picked to do it, and I would rather RDJ do it than some dick orchestrator like Elliot Goldenthal. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"its stupid to think that they would do a better job that the guy whos been doing it for 3 games," i never said it would be better, just that other artists could possibly make a soundtrack as good as Yamaoka. "and I own all three of those soundtracks and they are scarier than any release by any aritst ive ever owned or listened to, so why the flying fuck would I want someone else to do it?" fair enough, I have to admit the one thing he has is a proven track record. His tracks for Silent Hill are terrifying, I agree. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
from what i've heard, Yamaoka has a big role in the making of the movie... so I wouldn't rule out him making the soundtrack |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
pantalaoimon: im not trying to fight you, your cool... yes. indeed... but Im just trying to say that I doubt it would work out as nice as if he just did it himself as all the other works, I love these ambient and IDM artists that would probably get to do it, but they wouldnt have the experience, they wouldt have the heart and soul to put into it... it just wouldnt be the same. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh really? Cool, well I was just assuming, since well... you know how Hollywood is "Producer Dickhead": Yamaoka Who??? No no! no!!, the movie going audiece wouldn't like that! I wan't Elliot Goldenthal, his soundtrack for Batman Forver was fantastic lets get him! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
which soundtrack is your favourite, I've got Silent Hill 2 as mp3's but i'd like to get it on cd as the quality is a bit crap. |

I've heard most of what they've done, and they're awesome, but I'm not interested. I get a different feel out of Silent Hill than I do listening to Coil. Plus there's the poppy but unobtrusive trip-hop in those games that I'd miss if someone else did the soundtrack, and did it wrong. Silent Hill is way more than ''SAW TOO'' and ambient soundscapes. There's a feel and mix there that RDJ has not come anywhere near... I don't mean in quality, just in style. And Coil... no, just no. I don't even mind those gay rock songs from 3, and the drastically increased trip hop content, it still holds together. And the last thing I want for this movie is some mixed soundtrack, I want it to flow. |
