Brand New Ideas for Programs

[MiraiFan]

Doga's Gramofon Waltz is lovely as well. A girl at our rink is using it for her program and I love listening to it during practice:

I always wanted to compete a Long Program to Gattaca (by Michael Nyman, here's a sample), never got the chance. As far as I know, no skater has ever used this music. I've never shared my 4:30 cut of the soundtrack or tried to alter it for someone else, but probably by now I should. The music is haunting and inspirational, one of the best film scores ever in my opinion (the film is excellent too), and would go well not only with skating movements, but also if you've seen the film, the entire competitive mindset and drive to get through a Long Program.

^ I just listened to it & I agree that it is a beautiful, haunting piece. Thanks for sharing it. Now, let's see, who could do justice to it?

One day a really top-flight synchro team has got to skate to the Ride of the Valkyries if no-one else has yet.

I absolutely love this piece and I wish a skater would use it for their program. Perhaps it’s good for ice dance? It could be used with or without lyrics and sound good I think

So romantic ... love this

I don't remember any skaters using 1 of these James Bond Themes with Tina Turner or Gladys Knight these would be better than the frequently used Skyfall

 

[elbkup]

I suggested this for Hubbell & Donahue in their fanfest given they did a successful sultry program a few seasons ago.. like the guitar and vocals

I will now walk away in shame ... I watched all of these programs before listening to the music randomly and didn’t make the connection... :gaah:

A pair on Scream by Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson. I want the step sequence on 3:16 to 3:36 part. https://youtu.be/0P4A1K4lXDo

An ice dance couple on Exile by Taylor Swift and Bon Iver. https://youtu.be/osdoLjUNFnA

Aren't going to get much better than this.

Interesting. But i want to see if it's possible to deliver a great competitive program on it.

Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind by Joe Hisaishi & Violin Concerto in D minor by Jean Sibelius
I always wonder what it would be like to see a BIG JUMP to the beat of this orchestral crescendo: https://youtu.be/B51bLBdUt3w?t=390
Or a footwork sequence to this: https://youtu.be/FSqrlJFkANg?t=867

 

[Blades of Passion]

Nausicaa is amazing, Lu Chen did her Long Program to it in the 1992-1994 seasons, and deserved to win 1993 Worlds with that performance for me. Takahiko Kozuka also skated to a more subdued selection from Nausicaa in the 2011-2012 season, I liked the concept but the choreography and performance could have been deeper.

More people should use Hisaishi music, nobody has ever skated to Porco Rosso or The Wind Rises, and no top level competitors have skated to Castle in the Sky. I also think Kiki’s Delivery Service could be good, the track “A Town with an Ocean View” sounds like a delightful Short Program all on its own.

Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind by Joe Hisaishi

Can you find some of what you're looking for here?

 

[EyesOfLove]

I know Chen used part of the track in 93 and 94 (the lyrical piano passage in the opening), I want to see someone skating to the ending theme, "Tori no Hito" (The flying (wo)man) consisting of grand orchestral climax.

Kate Bush's Running up that hill

or the classic Wuthering Heights

and for covers and rock lovers...

Hiroyuki Sawano is a genius and his work for Attack on Titan should get some love.
T-KT https://youtu.be/mpqY5n4wZhM or call of silence (a more powerful version like this https://youtu.be/1wc-DTGNy5c ) can work well.

 

[Scansion]

I think the Phantom Thread score could make a gorgeous program to skate to. It’s so lush and elegant.

https://youtu.be/8pGCLf5Ufgg

I also really First Man’s score. If you combine with several cuts of the score it could be interesting and dynamic.

The fan in me would just die for a Legend if Korra program
