Músicos y compositores de nuestros tiempos.
En mis comentarios sobre películas normalmente hablo, del director, de los actores, productores, vestuario y efectos especiales. sin embargo hoy hablare de un factor fundamental para que una película sea exitosa y recordada para toda la vida, la musica, y es que las bandas sonoras de una películas son las que te hacen enamorarse, llorar, temblar de miedo y sumergirte en la acción.
Desde muy pequeña, compraba los discos de John Williams quien mas de alguna ha llorado de emoción con memorias de una geisha, entre los tantos incomprables como superman, tiburón, indiana jones y la lista continua. Un romántico como las creaciones de John Barry que nos enamoro con Africa mía, Bailando con lobos entre otros.
Quizás por que era muy joven casi una niña que esta música penetro mas fuerte en mi corazón permaneciendo allí hasta que mis pies pudieran cruzar el umbral de la ciudad prohibida en Pekin, me refiero a una de las mas hermosas melodias como El ultimo Emperador que gano un Oscar a la mejor Banda Sonora en 1987, con la colaboración de Ryuichi Sakamoto, David Byrne, y Cong Su. su música fue tan majestuosa que cuando vi la película no puede evitar el fascinante deseo de viajar a la China. Ese es el poder de una buena música, una creación que deja un legado para la posteridad en el mundo de la música y el cine.

El rockero
Pero si por eso no fuera poco nuestro maestro también tiene su lado rockero y llena discotecas y conciertos con bajo su nombre de Madsonik, cientos de seguidores saltan al ritmo de su techno music.
Es posible que este ritmo sea el secreto de su eterna juventud que a sus 45 años el compositor y músico se encuentra en su mejor momento de su vida profecional.
Hace un tiempo con mi hermana visitamos la casa de Beethoven en la ciudad de Bonn Alemania, su casa era muy austera, su dedicación a la composición era constante y lo que mas no llamo la atención fue lo gastada de las teclas del piano, no parecía tener mucha vida propia, e vivir la vida mas allá de la música, fue entonces cuando le conte a mi hermana que yo primeramente había visitado la casa de Mozart en Viena Austria, pues soy gran fan, pero para mi desconcierto, no había nada en su casa pues el, con su fiestas y deudas, fueron muy pocas cosas las que se conservaron del talentoso Mozart, a lo que nos viene a pensar que el era muy talentoso pero algo fiestero.
Esto viene a que el maestro Tyler con el paso de los años ha llegado a una sana conminación de música profesional de películas y rockero como parece ser que le divierte, en nuestras vidas, trabajar en lo que nos gusta, es uno de los mas aspirados anhelos, algo que se debe vivir cada día, bajo un perfecto balance entre trabajo y armonía.
Justo en esta fecha esta de cumpleaños así que aprovecho de felicitarte en tu día, Feliz Cumpleaños Brian Tyler, gracias por dejarnos un legado tu música.
