Hi all,
I’m pretty interested in what makes a piece of music scary… the idea of suspense and drama through sound and music is pretty exciting. I’m looking for some inspiration, or instruments/sound banks that could be useful for this type of thing.
So far I have the sound tracks from Event Horizon, Requiem for a Dream and 28 Days Later… do you have some recommendations? It doesn’t even have to be an OST.
As always, and help would be much appreciated!
Thanks!
The Twin Peaks soundtrack has some very creepy stuff on it as well as some kick ass jazz.
There’s also the Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me soundtrack which is probably very similar.
EDIT: Just noticed the “Lynch” part of your screen name, coincidence or fate? 
twin peaks theme 
tritones, minor seconds and augmented chords or intervals
Well, my own twenty two ten on my myspace.
I used mainly distorted basslines coupled with various dislocated vocal bits for an alienated feeling. I feel this music is pretty scary anyways.
