Mark Snow was 78 years old and had a wide-spanning career and effectively became an industry standard from his name and his name only for orchestral-based music. He lived a full life. Musically, he accomplished everything and more that any scoring artist in TV and film could hope for. The name Mark Snow is synonymous with excellent music for TV and film.
Compare that to, say, David Peckinpah and Bill Dial, who are industry cautionary tales who set no meaningful standard of anything and died relatively young, with Peckinpah's disease of affection leading to his end.
I was surprised to see he died. Reminded me of the story where he accidentally hit the keyboard with his elbow on certain keys and that's where the origins of the iconic X-Files beat started.
I'm in the middle of a rewatch of the X-Files, but really I haven't seen every single episode, so this will be the first time. Made it through the first 3 seasons
I don't love THE X-FILES... but it's an interesting show! I am more a student of the show than a fan. It's interesting to see where TV was back in the 90s and how THE X-FILES was the standardmaker at the cutting edge of the medium for a time. And we wouldn't have FRINGE and SUPERNATURAL without THE X-FILES.
I met Mark Snow at The X-Fest 2 outside Chicago a few years back, got his CD signed, very nice guy. He had a fairly long and successful career on TV and film, beyond simply the X-Files theme, which frankly was a stroke of genius as those compositions largely made the show. It gave the episodes, combined with Vancouver's climatic gloominess, all that was needed to be supernatural.
I was a big fan of the show, but I'm not sure I wish to revisit it. Hasn't aged well in some respects, and tbh younger me probably believed in things like aliens and ghosts and whatnot, whereas I do not at all now. A big pull towards it was living through Mulder's quest to find his sister and uncover the truth about his family. That wound up being revealed in a completely haphazard and ill-conceived way, and obviously once you've lived through it, the curiosity is gone.
