Bass
One of [the] most distinguishing features [of the opening theme from Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey] and one that’s been imitated by thousands of science fiction, thriller and horror movie scores is the long-held bass note that begins it. It’s awesome: Bottom C. It’s big, it’s deep and it’s powerful. And it came to stand in our minds for a sense of menace, or wonder, or infinity. Just this one note. But there are loads of examples of bass lines that give a piece of music its style and its shape.
Roots & Tonality
Contrary Motion
Ground Bass & Inversion
Bass Bridges & Riffs
Phat Bass & Dance Music
