GENERAL FILM MUSIC AND SOUNDTRACK SITES:
|
MFiles: MFiles, a film music site from England, gives reviews of CDs and discusses composers' careers, as well as features on composers and a nice overview of film music Oscars since the beginnings.
Scorelogue: Reviews, giveaways, overviews and more. Outdated Web site that hasn't been updated in a while. Still, might be good for archival purposes.
Soundtrack Price Engine: Find out the going rates of rare CDs in recent auctions.
If you need to contact a composer directly, you can find out their representatives by going to the Hollywood Reporter's Who Is Who In Composing Web Site.The site was promised to be up in January, so it should be online pretty much daily now.
Don't contact the agency simply if you are a collector and want a specific promo by a certain composer, you will not get very far. Only contact them if you have a legit reason to get in touch with the composer.

Elmer Bernstein: The official Web site.
Martin Boettcher: The official Web site of Germany's legendary composer of the Winnetou and Edgar Wallace movies.
Claude Bolling: Only in French and not very exhaustive. It lists his upcoming concerts, though.
Alf Clausen: Composer of The Simpsons.
Alexander Courage - Score collection at Sibley Music Library.
Christopher Franke: Former Tangerine Dreamer and pioneer of electronic film scoring has his own web site. Learn about new projects (for there are many), and download some samples of his music.
Michael Kamen: This is a fabulously designed Web site, but bring a lot of time, because it takes a while to load. And, oh yes, it's written with Flash, so make sure you get the Macromedia Flash plug-in. Also, the "Current Projects" button doesn't seem to work.
Graeme Revell: Every composer now has to have his Web site. Unfortunately, this one just has the bare minimum. It lists CDs and DVDs that are available for purchase (from amazon.com), but unfortunately (again) the CDs featured are oftentimes the song compilations.
