THE MATRIX by the Wachowski's began blowing minds twenty years ago on March 31, 1999. Don Davis' original score similarly sent anyone paying attention into a similar zone of the mind-blown. While the film was a watershed moment for the film industry, touching off copy-cat visual effects and pseudo-philosophical film endeavours, Don Davis' post-minimalistic score, while still appreciated to this day in its own right, sadly did not start an parallel trend in film music composition. Erik Woods, Dane Walker and Christopher Coleman reflect on seeing the film for the first time, its personal impact, the electronica-filled soundtrack, and the power and sticking-power of Don Davis intricate original score.Episode Highlights07:16 - Experiencing The Matrix18:27 - The effect of the soundtrack23:59 - The ground-breaking score40:32 - Who is this "Don Davis?"44:09 - Does The Matrix endure?56:08 - The Matrix todayMusic Selections 00:00 - "Main Title/ Trinity Infinity" (The Matrix) - by Don Davis18:07 - "Dragula" (The Matrix Soundtrack) - Hot Rod Herman Remix20:25 - "Spybreak (Short One)" - (The Matrix Soundtrack) - by The Propellerheads21:32 - "Prime Audio Soup" - (The Matrix Soundtrack) - by Meat Beat Manifesto23:23 - "Bait and Switch" - (The Matrix: Deluxe Edition) - by Don Davis31:05 - "Main Title/ Trinity Infinity" (The Matrix) - by Don Davis33:56 - "Short Ride in a Fast Machine - Fanfare for Orchestra" - by John Adams37:48 - "Mona Lisa Overdrive" (The Matrix Reloaded) - by Don Davis and Juno Reactor43:57 - "Mix the Art" (The Matrix: Deluxe Edition) - by Don Davis66:05 - "Ontological Shock" (The Matrix) - by Don DavisFind and Follow:Follow Dane Walker on Twitter - @maestrodane or on Letterboxd @maestrodaneFollow Christopher Coleman on Twitter - @ccoleman or on Letterboxd @clcolemanFollow Erik Woods on Twitter - @cinsoundradioFollow The Soundcast on Twitter - @audiosoundcastFollow Tracksounds on Twitter - @tracksounds Spotify: Find our Spotify Companion Playlist here!
