Post 9 - Avatar Music

The music score of the movie and the music of the na'vi both seem to be ripped from pages in the same book, so to speak. They seem to have the same sort of western influence in the instrumentation and general rhythmic feel. Both sides seem to dawn the same orchestral interludes and movements.

What distinctly sets the music of the na'vi apart from the rest of the movie's music score is the lyrics. The general music score of the movie contains a lot of harmonic, English vocals. The music of the na'vi replaces them with chanting and strong drum beats. They also tend to add a taste of African or Asian music to that of the na'vi with the occasional flute or drum far different than those found in western music.

I find that the music of the na'vi is made different enough from that of the movie's music score to stand out. However, the the general feeling from the movie received in part from its music, never strays far from and empathizes with that of the na'vi.
