A Clockwork Orange TRAILER
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Clockwork Orange is a 1971 satirical science fiction film adaptation of a 1962 novel of the same name, written by Anthony Burgess. The adaptation was produced, co-written, and directed by Stanley Kubrick. It stars Malcolm McDowell as the charismatic and psychopathic delinquent Alex DeLarge whose pleasures are classical music (especially Beethoven), rape, and ultra-violence. He is the leader of a small gang of thugs (Pete, Georgie and Dim), whom he calls his “droogs” (from the Russian word ???? meaning “friend” or “buddy”). Alex narrates most of the film in “Nadsat”, a fractured contemporary adolescent argot comprising Slavic (especially Russian), English, and Cockney rhyming slang. A Clockwork Orange features disturbing, violent imagery to facilitate social commentary on psychiatry, youth gangs, and other topics in a futuristic dystopian Britain.
The film features a soundtrack comprising mostly classical music selections and Moog synthesizer compositions by Wendy (then Walter) Carlos. One notable exception is “Singing in the Rain,” which was chosen because it was a song actor Malcolm McDowell knew all the words to.

Bluntly, 2001 is one of the best science-fiction films made to date, if not the very best. Stanley Kubrick was a genius of a film maker and this is one of his very best works. And although it is misunderstood by many, and respectively underrated, it is considered one of the best films of all time and I’ll have to agree. Back in 1968, no one had done anything like this before, and no one has since. It was a marvel of a special effects breakthrough back then, and seeing how the effects hold up today, it is no wonder as to why. The film still looks marvelous after almost forty years! Take note CGI people. Through the use of large miniatures and realistic lighting, Kubrick created some of the best special effects ever put on celluloid. This aspect alone almost single-handedly created the chilling void of the space atmosphere which is also attributed to the music and realistic sound effects. I can’t think of another film where you can’t here anything in space, like it is in reality. Not only is the absence of sound effects in space realistic, it is used cleverly as a tool to establish mood, and it works flawlessly.

2001 A Space Odyssey – Space Sequences Tribute Part 4of4
And here the “Mother” (well the real mother is probably “Metropolis”) of all Science Fiction Movie Special Visual Effects: Stanley Kubricks “2001 – A Space Odysee” from 1968. All seen here is of course handmade. All photographic effects, no CGI. And all SFX Scenes from the Movie are cut toghether in full length and in chronological order.
Because it’s more than 36 Minutes of FX, including the “changing Dimensions” FX, i had to split in into 4 parts. And don’t adjust your volume when there’s nothing to hear. It’s meant that way 
The Music: (thanks door2yourheart for your comment) QUOTE WIKI: “Atmosphères (1961 – by György Ligeti) is written for large orchestra and is not musically related to the earlier electronic piece of the same name, although some of its aesthetic intentions are similar. It is seen[who?] as a key piece in Ligeti’s output, laying out many of the concerns he would explore through the 1960s. Out of the four elements of music — melody, harmony, rhythm and timbre — the piece almost completely abandons the first three, concentrating on the texture of the sound, a technique known as sound mass. It opens with what must be one of the largest cluster chords ever written — every note in the chromatic scale over a range of five octaves is played at once. Out of the fifty-six string players ushering in the first chord, no two play the same note. The piece seems to grow out of this initial massive, but very quiet, chord, with the textures always changing. For this compositional technique not only used in the aforementioned work, Atmosphères, but also in Apparitions and his other works of the time, Ligeti coined the term “micropolyphony”.[citation needed]
The Requiem for soprano, mezzo-soprano, five-voice chorus, and orchestra is a four-movement work in the same totally-chromatic style as Atmosphères (a portion of this work too received wide currency in the scene on the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey, in the scene of the proto-humans approaching the monolith). The first movement of Requiem, the “Introitus”, has a thin texture, but the “Kyrie/Christe” is a stunning, brilliant evocation of searing appeal.[citation needed] It is a massive (twenty-part choral) quasi-fugue where the counterpoint is re-thought in terms of the material, consisting of melismatic masses interpenetrating and alternating with complex skipping parts. It was a part of this movement that accompanied the enigmatic monolith scenes in Kubricks 2001: A Space Odyssey. The last instance quoted in the movie (at Jupiter: Beyond the Infinite), this movement (interrupted by a loud radio-tone screech from the monolith) segues to the opening of Atmosphères. The penultimate movement, “de Die Judicii Sequentia” (Day of Judgement Sequence) is a colossal montage of contrasts: fff loud versus ppp soft, masses of sound versus soloists, etc. In the final movement, “Lacrimosa” (weeping), the chorus is muted, and only a reduced orchestra accompanies the plangent singing of the soloists.
Lux Aeterna is a 16-voice a cappella piece whose text is also associated with the Latin Requiem, which also was partially used in Kubricks movie (for the moon-bus scene en route to the TMA-1 monolith in the crater Tycho). The piece is strongly modeled after the masterful mensuration canons of Johannes Ockeghem and accomplishes much the same effect, but with secundal, rather than tertian harmony, in a paradoxically thick-but-transparent 16-voice texture.
The third Kubrick use of Ligetis music was from his mimodrama Aventures (in the even more cryptic final scenes), distorted by an echo chamber.”
Last Music, at 5:00, is of course “Also sprach Zarathustra” (Thus Spoke Zoroaster), tone poem for orchestra, Op. 30 (TrV 176) Opening. Composed by Richard Strauss, performed by Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Herbert von Karajan.
Quote Stanley Kubrick (source:Wikipedia): “I tried to create a visual experience, one that bypasses verbalized pigeonholing and directly penetrates the subconscious with an emotional and philosophic content. I intended the film to be an intensely subjective experience that reaches the viewer at an inner level of consciousness, just as music does; to „explain” a Beethoven symphony would be to emasculate it by erecting an artificial barrier between conception and appreciation. You’re free to speculate as you wish about the philosophical and allegorical meaning of the film — and such speculation is one indication that it has succeeded in gripping the audience at a deep level — but I don’t want to spell out a verbal road map for 2001 that every viewer will feel obligated to pursue or else fear he’s missed the point.”

György Ligeti: Artikulation (1958 Musique Concrete Avant Electronic)
Hungarian born György Ligeti is most famous for his work with the director Stanley Kubrick. If you felt uneasy watching The Shining or 2001: A Space Odyssey, then feel free to blame the creepy, dissonant sounds layered on the soundtrack by this challenging composer. Before his acclaimed film work, Ligeti ran into trouble with the communist state over ’subversive piano pieces’, before travelling to Germany to make pioneering electronica at the legendary WDR studio. Some of his mid 50s recordings almost rival the work of his one time colleague Karlheinz Stockhausen. 1957’s Glissandi is probably his most famous piece, but I’ve always had a soft spot for the freaky Artikulation. This version (with more than a few vinyl crackles) is from from a compilation of wonderful experimental noise called ‘A Panorama of Experimental Music’… The video is lifted from a public domain science flick called “Everyday Radioactivity” which explains the joys of alpha beta and gamma rays. The film features Don Herbert (aka Mr. Wizard) who tried to make science fun and accessible. Think of him as an American Johnny Ball without the hideous knitwear and DJ daughter.

Music heard at the Monolith Scene: The Requiem for soprano, mezzo-soprano, five-voice chorus and orchestra, by Gyorgy Ligeti, is a four-movement work in the same totally-chromatic style as Atmosphères (a portion of this work too received wide currency in the scene on the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey, in the scene of the proto-humans approaching the monolith).
