Jane:
Here we are, Jorge and I, with a shared love of original soundtracks and huge imaginations, but our Fantastical Movie Scores playlist didn’t begin where it landed, did it Jorge? By the way, I am super sorry for always calling you George in my head. It’s the Canadian in me.
Jorge:
Not at all, this is but a glance of what incredible OSTs can offer and thankfully it landed in a pretty smooth way. We agreed to take on an auditory story by using the hero’s journey as a reference to order our tracks, and boy oh boy was that a good idea. Just listen to how everything fits and flows perfectly. And don’t worry about names, although Georges would be better.
Jane:
Haha, I’ll keep that in mind! What I particularly love about doing an original soundtrack playlist like this one is the opportunity to draw from so many different sources to frame the ups, downs, and tensions of the hero’s journey. When we first began, I had a number of tracks that I really wanted to use. Many of them didn’t make the final cut. It was definitely a fun adventure to curate this playlist together. And the end result, in my not-so-humble opinion, is fantastic. I’m very happy with it and super stoked to share it out on MusicTo.
Jorge:
Definitely, many different sources that at the same time helped me discover even more tracks.
I also had some tracks that unfortunately didn’t make the cut yet they’re not taking away anything from the final result. The list we put together makes so much sense as it is—and, even better, it sounds great.
I appreciate the time spent collaborating with Jane because I authentically feel like I’ve leveled up as a curator; I learned something new from making this playlist and for that I’m grateful.
I hope some of you find this meticulous selection of tracks as fantastical as we feel for it.
About the Curators
Jane Asylum
I’ve set-off around the world a few times as a digital nomad. My favorite places are off-the-beaten-path spaces. I enjoy good food, although I’m a sucker for trying anything once. Discovering new music and artists is a passion, but I adore retro tracks and nostalgic songs. Whether fueled by imagination, or anchored in the real world, I live for adventure, especially when set to the beat of diverse and eclectic playlists.
Ready. Set. Join me on a sonic adventure!
