Updated 6 months ago
SLEEPY DRAGON is a mix I've been thinking about making for a long time. The Never Ending Story is a fantastic movie and an even better book, and I wanted to make a mix encompassing the themes of the story without just rehashing the plot. I also didn't want to rely too much on music from the movie. The result is an unusual but I believe ultimately satisfying mix that walks the line between a story and a dream, much like the Never Ending Story itself. I hope you enjoy it.
Check out the Fireside Chat for some behind the scenes insight into this very strange and unusual mix.

Main Titles - James Newton Howard
Later DaysBastian looked at the book. "I wonder," he said to himself, "what's in a book while it's closed. Oh, I know it's full of letters printed on paper, but all the same, something must be happening, because as soon as I open it, there's a whole story with people I don't know yet and all kinds of adventures and deeds and battles. And sometimes there are storms at sea, or it takes you to strange cities and countries. All those things are somehow shut up in a book. Of course you have to read it to find out. But it's already there, that's the funny thing. I just wish I knew how it could be." Suddenly an almost festive mood came over him. He settled himself, picked up the book, opened it to the first page, and began to read: THE NEVER ENDING STORY Sleepy Dragon: Track One Song: Main Titles Artist: James Newton Howard Album: Dave OST Quote: Michael Ende/The Never Ending Story9 views -
Fantasia - Giorgio Moroder and Klaus Doldinger
Later Days"AURYN gives you great power," he said solemnly, "but you must not make use of it. For the Childlike Empress herself never makes use of her power. AURYN will protect you and guide you, but whatever comes your way you must never interfere, because from this moment on your own opinion ceases to count. For that same reason you must go unarmed. You must let what happens happen. Everything must be equal in your eyes, good and evil, beautiful and ugly, foolish and wise, just as it is in the eyes of the Childlike Empress. You may only search and inquire, never judge. Always remember that, Atreyu!"

The Light - Jerry Goldsmith
Later Days"She is a Living Presence in their spiritual earthbound Plane. They're attracted to the ONE thing about her that is different from themselves. Her Lifeforce." LATER DAYS: The Jerry Goldsmith Experience: Track Six Scene: Tangina's Monologue (Part 1) Artists: Jerry Goldsmith, Zelda Rubenstein Movie: Poltergeist (1982) Quote: Tangina/Poltergeist Mix: Sleepy Dragon Tangina's monologue from Poltergeist is one of the pivotal moments in the movie, thanks to Zelda Rubenstein's riveting performance paired with Jerry Goldsmith's exceptional score. I broke it into two parts for the Mix SLEEPY DRAGON and have put both parts on the Jerry Goldsmith Experience so that we may get the full effect of their dynamic brilliance.12 views -

The Beast - Jerry Goldsmith
Later Days"So much Rage, so much Betrayal. I've never sensed anything like it." LATER DAYS: The Jerry Goldsmith Experience: Track Eight Scene: Tangina's Monologue (Part 2) Artists: Jerry Goldsmith, Zelda Rubenstein Movie: Poltergeist (1982) Quote: Tangina/Poltergeist Mix: Sleepy Dragon In this, the second part of Tangina's monologue from Poltergeist, both the music and the tone shift into darker and more ominous territory, which in the end is what Poltergeist is all about. The dread this scene inspires is second to none.10 views -
