Space: The Final Frontier

The Ever Evolving CSS Music Styles

As William Wordsworth stated, “Fill your paper with the breathings of your heart.” The same can be said of the stable of CSS Music composers.

So much of today’s music, especially when discussing film scores, is filled with the glorious sound of…nothing. Space. Long pauses. Open vistas that are truly the breathings of the heart of the composer.

We’ve talked of the practicalities of providing edit points in the CSS Music catalog to make your work easier. But the beauty of letting a piece of music breathe through pauses in the composition reflects not only contemporary writing style, but also offers the listener a chance for the music to sink in before the next melodic statement.

For your video editing…these pauses in the music might lead you down a path you’ve never before explored. Maybe look at these natural moments of silence as a way to reprise a visual image that’s important to a scene?

For example: one of your show’s characters has forgotten an important piece of gear necessary to solve a problem. By using the pauses in the music to insert a shot of the forgotten piece of equipment, the viewer is clued in to the impending problem. Watch an episode of “Chopped” on Food Network and see what they do when a chef forgets a basket ingredient.

Our job is to write music for you, not ourselves. At the same time, letting moments of “breathing of the heart” from one of the CSS Music composers may lead you to inspiration from your own heart.
