ALWAYS PUTTING MUSIC UNDER A RADIO DJ'S VOICE
ALWAYS PUTTING MUSIC UNDER A RADIO DJ'S VOICE In a recent issue of my Radio Programming Letter, I wrote at length about "MUSIC, CONVERSATION and THE ILLUSION OF FORWARD MOMENTUM." In a nutshell: In response to a subscriber's query, I said it's stupid for radio stations to have a music bed playing underneath every jock's voice every time a jock speaks. Not surprisingly, my remarks generated lots of feedback. Mostly along the lines of, "THANK YOU! I've been trying to explain this to my PD/consultant." A radio presenter in the UK attempted to put me in my place: "Dan, "I love reading your newsletter, it's so often full of useful tips and advice, but I think I can pick apart your argument about using beds… "You said that AMERICAN IDOL doesn't use beds when the judges are giving their comments. Maybe not, but what about at the end when there are two contestants left and it is being decided which one is going home? I bet there's a tension bed running in the background! There is here in the UK on X FACTOR, BRITAIN'S GOT TALENT, DANCING ON ICE, and all our other reality TV shows. And the reason these beds are there? A bed can change the mood of what is happening. "Why do we get incidental music in films? When the happy couple finally get together at the end there's always a happy tune that strikes up in the background -- it's emotive, it's building on emotions, tugging on heartstrings, and enhancing the atmosphere. "If I'm wrong then I'm wrong, but if that's the case, then why is there music in films???" I thanked the subscriber for his kind words about my Programming Letter. But…. I'm afraid he didn't succeed in picking apart my argument, because I was referring specifically to the practice of always putting a music bed underneath conversational elements -- i.e., one or more people talking. The examples he gave are using sound to enhance the emotional impact when conversation is absent. If your caller has 10 seconds to come up with the answer to your tough trvia question, playing the "musical clock" adds to the fun and to the suspense. The only two reality show I've ever seen is THE CONTENDER (Season One). The climax of each episode of THE CONTENDER was a tightly edited, condensed version of that week's fight. There was "exciting" music during the fight's highlights. But when the ring announcer pulled down the microphone to declare the winner, the music came to an abrupt halt. Why? Because everyone wanted to hear what he was going to say. Because at that the moment, the drama is in the words. Then why is there music in films??? First: Most music in films isn't used very well. I'm guessing the percentage of "badly used film music" is approximately the same as "bad radio." Don't take my word for it. Ask any good film composer. Second: When used properly, the music enhances the emotional response the filmmaker wants to elicit Third: Just as in radio, many directors use music in an attempt to force the illusion of an emotion the scene is not able to deliver on its own. The action ISN'T exciting; but maybe if we add loud, pulsating music we can make the audience THINK it's exciting. Or…. The tender moment between these two characters plays out completely flat. The actors share absolutely no chemistry. Or they're not very good actors. Or the dialogue is bad. Or the story is lame. Solution? Bring on the violins! When it's used well in movies, music enhances the emotional impact that already exists in a scene. For a superb lesson in how to use music in movies, watch THE SIXTH SENSE again. There is almost NO music in that film. Very, very little. But when there IS music, it notches up the scene's creepiness to an almost unbearable level. Sustaining tension throughout a 90-minute film without resorting to cheap tricks requires a lot of artistry and skill. Even 40 years after it was made, FAIL-SAFE remains what critics would call a "gripping drama." It's relentlessly tense. FAIL-SAFE benefited from an immensely talented director; a good story; a fine script; and a consistently strong cast. Oh, and one more thing: It didn't use a drop of music. Not a single note. Y'see, when in just a few minutes a nuclear war (started by accident) might destroy Life As We Know It, we really don't need John Williams to musically yell, "HEY, THIS SURE IS TENSE!!!" But How About Live Theatre? Although -- especially in recent years -- "incidental music" occasionally is used in stage productions, I'm not aware of any non-musicals that play music while an actor is delivering his lines. Why should they? They've got the actors. They've got the audience. It's an intimate experience. That's what makes good (even not-so-good) theatre so exciting: The performers and the audience are collaborating to produce a dialogue between them. Intimacy. Y'know, kind of like radio's biggest strength: the ability to communicate one-to-one.
