RE: Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits) - 80s but Timeless Music (music and more inside)

in #qsounds7 years ago

Thank you for this @qsounds I was not aware of this album. I will be checking it out.

Interesting that MK did film soundtracks early in his career. This is a great way for young composers to start out. There are countless filmmakers out there looking for someone to make music for their indie films. Most filmmakers have to use canned (horrible) music for their productions. Not much money in it but it is a great opportunity. This also applies to local cable TV stations. They are always looking for original music for their local productions. Again, not much money in it, but it is a great way to build a resume and gain some excellent experience.

And hey, if it was good enough for Mark to do then it is good enough for me :)

Thanks again for your great post @qsounds

Cheers,

Well MK was already under way with Dire Straits for 8 to 10 years when he started soundtracking for some Irish movies. I guess he wanted to explore his none rock side.

Cool. Thanks :)
