Question by Alex O: What instruments are used to create “movie music” such as the song in opening credits of the movie, “Crash”?
I make music, and have always been fascinated by the musical landscapes found in ambient electronic music in particular. There are several “ambient” songs in the movie Crash that I like, including the songs, “Crash” and “Find My Baby”, created by film composer Mark Isham. I am very curious to know how this kind of “movie music”–the wordless, ambient, atmospheric stuff that adds mood to movie scenes–is made. If I had to emulate certain instruments to reproduce that kind of sound, which instruments would I have to think about? The closest one I can think of is the synth keyboard, but there might be much more to it than that. And is there an official genre title for this kind of music? Thank all of you that choose to answer my questions.

The Xefolione (Might be misspelled)
It’s a very hard to play and very rare instrument.
It’s one of my favorite instruments thought because it has a wonderful sound.
