Soundtracks/Music

On Tuesday 25th November I planned to find music for our opening sequence - I didn't get round to doing this so today I am going to look for some samples of music which creates a tense, creepy atmosphere.

1. Title: Road to Hell

A slow dark piece featuring a piano, bass duet. Begins with bass, then immediately piano comes in. Piece has continuous bass with piano coming in and out. Finishes with prolonged bass note. It creates a Dark, Eerie, Mysterious atmosphere.

2. Title: Some Amount of Evil

Genre: Soundtrack

Starts at a fast pace, and slows down gradually. It creates an Action, Dark, Intense, Unnerving atmosphere.

3. Title: Supernatural

A quick little piece to bring out supernatural elements. It creates an Eerie, Epic, Mysterious, Mystical, Unnerving atmosphere.

4. Title: Epic Unease

Genre: Soundtrack

Starts quiet, ends fortissimo brass. It creates a Dark, Eerie, Epic, Intense, Unnerving atmosphere.

5. Title: Decay

Genre: Horror
Length: 4:38

A very dark piece heavily featuring cymbal and bells. Frequent Cymbal usage creates unnerving feeling. 3:08 prolonged trombone. Lasts almost 30 seconds. This piece is great for an eerie atmosphere. Dark, Eerie, Mysterious, Unnerving 2008

All these sound clips are copy-right free and were off a website link that was on moodle. Im not quite sure what the website was called.

The music I chose was 'Decay.' This was the music which created the best atmosphere which I had planned.
