Hi Film Score friends, Since I left the soundtrack business a few years ago, I’ve begun writing and drawing weekly essays and drawings—and now it’s time to write about the music that made me. Perhaps you’d like to check out how soundtracks changed my life. I’ll post the latest link, and I’d welcome your comments on the board or on my site. I hope you have a little fun reading along. Thanks for checking it out!\ All stories can be found at this link: https://www.joesikoryak.com/blog/categories/music Part 1: The Music That Made Me (early influences) Part 2: Listen to What You Watch (cartoons and TV themes) Part 3: Switching on Soundtracks (discovering synthesizers) Part 4: "Strangers In Paradise," or Collecting on a Budget (when LPs were too expensive) Part 5: "Monster-kid Melodies" (scoring super-8 movies) Part 6: Learning the Classics, Easy as R-C-A (swashbucklers and sharks, oh my!) Part 7: I Found It at the Movies (sex and scary movies) Part 8: A Long Time Ago, In a City Far By the Bay (life in SF gets very Sci-Fi) Part 9: It Was the Best of Times, It Was blah, blah, blah... (the early Eighties) Part 10: Dark Days Are Made of This (MTV, Nuclear Winter and a New Hope) Part 13: The Loneliness of the Soundtrack Listener (Fire in the hills) Part 14: Connecting the Little Black Dots (at Intrada!) Part 15: I Had It All Figured Out (meeting that kid from Martha's Vineyard) - - - - Joe Sikoryak was art director/designer/editor for 800 soundtrack CDs from 1997-2016. He’s worked with FSM, Intrada, Percepto and La-La Land as well as a number of composers. Joe is currently writing and drawing a graphic novel about the early days of genre conventions.
