The FSOL Message Board

i stopped watching the olympics for many many years but this year i've been watching or at least have it running in the background while doing chores/playing with the kid yesterday
whish i could dig up the video by my ears tuned in immediately when i heard the opening notes of this free skate:

Ekaterina BOBROVA/Dmitri SOLOVIEV (RUS)
Music: Man With a Harmonica by Ennio Morricone [remix by Appollo 440]/Tosca by Giacomo Puccini [new arrangement]



harmonica



between 15-30 seconds

probably a sample you all know of
was news to me though and cool in the way it popped up

You need to check out Once Upon A Time In The West, bloody amazing OST -



For A Few Dollars More also has a rather famous soundtrack for sampling e.g the start of this:



Basically Ennio Morricone is a bloody amazing composer !

Probably the most famous thing sampled in Little Fluffy Clouds, aye. That Morricone piece is one of the greatest things I've ever heard. Good film, too.

He's a Living Legend!

I probably mentioned this a few times,
I've literally heard 180-190 soundtracks from Ennio and ZERO of them were bad, and about 90% of them were bloody brilliant!

His classical approach into modern ambient... how he just effortlessly makes melodies... he's one of the last masters of the trade.
