I need Nightmare music

Chiquita · 12-06-2006, 04:19 AM

I'm doing this installation (basicaly you take a room and "decorate it" with items, lights, smells and whatever you feel like basically, to bring out a certain mood or feeling.) as an art project, and my theeme is the feeling you get when you wake up from a nightmare, and you dont know what's real or not. I'm thinking of using music as one of my main things, so I need music that get's one really stressed and creeped out. No Halloween soundtrack, I was thinking something like Marilyn Manson, but I still haven't found the perfect song, and the exhebition is this evening.

So, any sugestions?

The expo is this evening? Procrastinate much?

How about the intro of Jimi's 'Are You Experienced?' on a loop? Cut the loop just before the rest of the music kicks in.

I suggest Lejaren Hiller

Quote:

Hiller: Suite from "Time of the Heathen" (1961)
The music composed by Lejaren Hiller for Peter Kass's "underground" film, Time of the Heathen, in 1961 is one of the hidden treasures of American music. One of the finest American orchestral scores of the 1960s, Hiller's suite fully embodies the contradictions and turmoil of that turbulent decade in music of amazing diversity and stunning emotional power.

Here can be found strict serialism alongside folksy modality, Ivesian chaos yielding to strict Renaissance counterpoint, a six-voice atonal fugue&emdash;but also pure Hollywood schmaltz. The music's emotional world is equally varied, from scalding anger to casual bonhomie, joky good humor, bleak despair, and high solemnity, with much of its power deriving from the unexpected ways in which it turns from one extreme to another, often without any warning.

The Suite from "Time of the Heathen" was performed only two or three times during Hiller's lifetime (only once in its final form), and very few people have had a chance to hear this remarkable music. Kallisti Music Press is pleased to be able to make it available now to the musical public at large.

We are also making available the purely electronic Nightmare Music, another part of the film score to which Hiller assigned a separate opus number. It makes an excellent mood-setting prelude when played before the orchestral suite, and increases the musical diversity of the whole even further.

The Suite from "Time of the Heathen" is scored for the following instruments: flute doubling piccolo, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, trombone, tuba, 2 percussion, violas, cellos, and contrabasses. Its five movements are:

Gaunt and Jessie
The Murder
By the Stream
Flight Fugue
Death of Gaunt

There`s probably much to choose from. You should also check out Venetian Snares - Doll Doll Doll (album), you could actually have the whole album (or maybe three or four songs) running instead of just one song on loop. Check out Macerate And Petrify first.

Typpically, my internet died this evening, so I didn't see any of your sugestions untill now. I played some Marilyn Manson, but the exhibition went pretty bad, as I wasn't done.

I usually always do things in the last minute, and we only had 26 hours from we got the task, and to the opening. And, as the main thing was to make a setting, I did the music last minute.
