What's Cinematic, according to NG musicians?

Posted by zybor - January 30th, 2017


  • Anything with tiny bit of orchestra in it
  • Big percussions (imma guilty of it)
  • Pseudo-trailer with generic melodies
  • Actual trailer with pseudo melodies
  • Even a DnB with piano and pad
  • According to yourself...
  • ... anything you like, could be Cinematic!

a real goosebumpy cinematic song when someone fuckingputs there lips on the mic and blows as hard as possible

beatboxing is cinematic when you fart on the mic!

i rather someone just fart in my mouth than listen to some dummy beatbox

mouth farting is an art!

True. Its the same with the terms "EPIC", "Classical" and "Orchestral", too. Most people just add a simple string pad (if i hear strings or other orchestral sections used as pads it really drives me crazy angry :D). Also there usually is not any knowledge of the instruments, how they work, what their role in the orchestra is, how it is performed, how to technically produce orchestral tracks (panning, predelay, mixing, EQing, reverb, routing - which is just ultra important to write anything Epic or orchestral).

Things have gone that far that - if i play a classical or a cinematic track on NG i am really SURPRISED if someone really writes classical or cinematic :D

NG's limitation of genre choice has an interesting effect on how people define their music. Most of the 'classical' tracks on NG are epic/cinematic, and most of the 'cinematic' are not cinematic at all. I suspect many don't have faintest idea of their submissions really belong to the right one. Thus, NG's lack of something becomes unique to other. This is also true for other genre sets on NG.

I think it's largely because the music of cinema today is anything but cinematic -- like the Suicide Squad's damn sissy boy 21 pilots. I consider cinematic music something between classical, ambient, or even electronic, as long as it has clear vision to it and COULD be a reasonably good soundtrack.

As the plot for Suicide Squad was a disappointment, I actually love their soundtrack. Theme song was very fitting to the movie. Wish they put in more Jared Leto's Joker scenes.

I couldn't really get behind it. Reminded me of 50 shades. There's a place for pop music, to me, and it isn't in soundtracks, unless it would be stylistically appropriate. It may as well have been a YT video to me. Not worth paying for imo -- no offense ofc. I feel like it's more shameless plugging of pop artists to get that young audience in the theatre.

the movie is more satirical than serious stuff like other DC movies, so maybe that was why the soundtrack rather fitting it. the whole movie looks like some B-stuff, even though it's not. :/
