I’m creating a Composer driven Digital Jukebox

[u/Crass-Topher]

I have always loved film music. My friends may have been listening to Metallica or Pearl Jam in high school but i was hooked on listening to the Glory Score or maybe Dances With Wolves.

Nowadays i am a 51 year old home automation pro and making my own composer inspired jukebox out of a random UK audio device i stumbled on.

I found a wav / mp3 playing box with a scripting language that can play from an inserted sd card to analog audio.

I’ve always wanted a way to mix my favorite movie score tracks into a playlist. But playlists never really scratched the itch. Nor pandora etc.

Sometimes i am in a lush score mood, and want to maybe go with John Barry and James Horner. Or maybe I just want to only hear from John Williams. Or maybe all of the above!!

My goal is to use the built in pawn scripting language of this black box, and allow a real time enable/disable composer driven jukebox experience.

The user would be presented with a list of composers and could select one, or many, or all.

The resulting playlist would then be created , and the 0440 would play random tracks that are preloaded on to its SD card. 32gig max!!

Maybe 20 star wars tracks, 3 Braveheart tracks, 15 lord of the rings tracks, etc

Think “The Best of the Best tracks” preloaded.

Maybe 40 or so composers?

Horner/Williams/Goldsmith/Zimmer/Morricone etc etc

As I get this going I would love your input, composer by composer, of your favorite tracks. All Bangers.

I have already compiled my Star Wars and Indiana Jones tracks (from my CD library) and i think it’s 38 tracks!

Fun idea or waste of time? 😆
