  • Alan Silvestri - Contact Theme [Extended by Gilles Nuytens]
    This is an extended version of the theme of the movie « Contact » (1997) composed by Alan Silvestri. This is the original music, extended by myself from the original soundtrack. A bit long, maybe, but I can hardly resolve myself to remove good parts just to make it shorter, so here it is.
    More extended mixes: • Soundtracks Edits by G...
    Legal notes: To the rights owners of the original music I based this edit on, this is just an artistic work and a fan edit. If you don't like it or want it removed, please ask before doing anything harmful. Remember that we are humans, not machines. All rights remain to Alan Silvestri.

    Watch it when I was a child and rewatch week ago. When I was a child, I saw film about dream and science, now I got that it films about faith.

    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there-on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
    The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot.
    Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.
    The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.
    It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.

      Though, I did try myself (not about this) but he never replied.

    • @GillesNuytens
      @GillesNuytens  6 месяцев назад +1

      ​ @petervogt8309 I'm afraid I can't answer this question. Most of the composers (and not only composers actually) I have been trying to reach out in the past years never replied me. It's very lucky when you get an answer. Getting an answer is most likely the exception to say the truth. But if you don't try, for sure you won't get one. Maybe the theme sounds familiar because I have seen the film 25 years ago and only rediscovered its music lately, other than that I don't know.

      @@GillesNuytens Yes you're right of course. Still, I keep coming back to the question of what provided the inspiration for this meme theme. And why it is so intriguing. The triplets in 4/4 beat almost sound like a syncopation, and the way the melody makes these large jumps - it's a brilliant piece of composition by Alan Silvestri.
