A Trip to the Moon (Part 1)

Part 1 of 2.

This represents several months of work. I have taken Georges Melies' 1902 classic film "A Trip to the Moon" (Une Voyage dans la Lune), the first science fiction film ever produced, and dubbed on an original soundtrack!

If I get a good enough reception I might make tracks from this piece available... Sorry I couldn't make the audio quality a little better for YouTube.

The music is inspired by a number of artists from the early days of electronica, including Kraftwerk, Vangelis, and even Rick Wakeman.

So yeah... I took a 104 year old film and made it into a music video for my own experiments in electronic music.

Feedback appreciated!

The soundtrack is included (along with several other tracks) on the album "Taa Daa!", released by Fox Allen on Lulu.com.

@PewPewKapowie Thumbs up if you predicted there would be some sort of attention-seeking comment relating to either the film, or the much less talked about graphic novel, The Invention of Hugo Cabret.

Try hearing the electronic music experiments of Stockhausen and Ligeti, wich have influenced Floyd and Kraftwerk...

Man, I liked the timbres, They're very cool actaully... But I don't like the way you develop the themes. It's always square beats and lots of repetition. With such equipment, maybe you should try some more noisy stuff, like more textures, irregular tempos, atonalism, 12 tone technics and stuff...
