    British Humor is the Best. I'm only now, at age 61, getting into utilizing my system again and attempting to compose again. I've taken notes, and transposing these suggestions so as to use the tools that I have available on my older system. -Thank you so much for putting this together.

    I scored Haxan withcraft through the ages for a live performance re-score & a personal favourite moment was recording me playing piano softly at high gain while whispering demonic words into the microphone. People said the soundtrack was completely unsettling :D The best thing with horror is how creative you can get. Record the scraping of metal, wood, reverse it, map it across keyboards. You can do a really good soundtrack with you're own toolkit although not saying the Bernard Hermann wouldn't help!

    It'd say it was little over the top, kinda fast tempo- at one point reminded me of classical music. Horror scores all about build up of anticipation, high strings, mixed with slower beats & low notes. Give it a dread feeling. Lurking in the dark vibe. The emotion of death. Keep it more sinister.

    Would really love to hear more tracks made with the angular or fragile string evos. Found almost nothing online but they seem so interesting. If anybody used them - feel free to point me to their tracks. I am just not willing to spend a couple of hundred euros for a library where I don't know what that library is capable of.

    I have directed several genre horror films and have done special effects and composer duty’s. I find the most tension in a horror movie comes from the impact of tension in sound design not so much cues .for me less is more. (John Carpenters version of the Thing comes to mind) And of course found music ala a proper music director is a no brainer in horror as well . Too much music can kill a moment or take the audience right out of the moment very easily. Yes? Peace Christo 👽🐕🎶🛸☮️😉💀🙏

    • @harrysanders818
      @harrysanders818 Před 3 lety +2

      Totally agree. It sounds more like a piece of fantasy music, or more action oriented in the second half. Way too musical to be terryfying. Structures are too predictalbe and too common.
