[Thor Joachim Haga]

I found this thread I did in 2012 on FSM, clearly made after some frustration that people were more concerned with ‘nuts-and-bolts’ aspects of our hobby than the aesthetic issues. Thought it would be useful to share here, as it hasn’t changed much:

“This is like a poll topic. It’s not really meant as a criticism, it’s more a curiousity.

I glance over the first page of the board and see 90% announcement threads and similar fare. It’s been like that for a few years now. I used to post threads about more general aesthetic concerns, but the last 10-15 or so I did spawned very few replies, so I gave up.

So I wonder….is there any interest left in discussing the qualities of film music, how the music works in the film more generally and so on? You know, the ‘artform’ side? Raise your hand if you have.”
