I'm still baffled with how they did the effects back then, probably on the tape directly? Especially the psychedelic stuff at the end (which reminded me of interstellar a bit too much haha)

2001 A Space Odessy was all Physical Effects!

This is the best explanation I've seen of the Sci-fi Portal effect. He recreates it after explaining it...

Thank you!

It really is! The only thing that really felt dated was the very stereotypical orchestral pieces that felt out of place compared to the other sound design in the tense moments. If it came out today it'd probably have some overly dramatic score by Hanz Zimmer.

I don't know if stereotypical is the right word. But I think it would've been better served by a proper composed soundtrack for the movie and not taking existing pieces.

I think it was said elsewhere that it was a very deliberate choice to use Classical Music rather than Futuristic Music like Forbidden Planet (the first electronic soundtrack).

The Star Child room was Classical European in style. All high points in Human "Civilisation". Now the next evolution.

Oh yeah I would definitely would stick with an orchestral score again, but having new music written for the film would be tops. Kind of like how star wars did it. I haven't watched many movies from that period so I'm not sure if it was common to write music exclusively for a film score back then.

Yeah. I wouldn't have minded.

Compared to the still modern sounding (!!) Futuristic 1956. 1956!!!

"Forbidden Planet" Movie Synth Sci Fi Soundtrack.

The first ever electronic score!
