i listen to all kinds of "dark" noise industrial metal etc music but honestly some of the most unsettling stuff ive heard in recent years is the soundtrack from the tv show Chernobyl, by Hildur Guđnadóttir. especially the way it combines with the shows sound design. its just so anxiety inducing, and really brilliant https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aM_HhU_CV44 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZM87N-3ob0 also, a bit dramatic, but i love lingua ignota https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1ZweG__q-w back in the mid 90's i was in tower records and saw an album i never heard of with a sticker on it that said "this is the most frightening music ive ever heard" - brian eno. so i had to hear that. its actually a really beautiful record and they only made this one album (then one of the artist's died). there's nothing else like it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iw34CD3lZo Earwicker fucked around with this message at 20:01 on Jan 19, 2023 |

XYZAB posted:Historically speaking, you could not be more incorrect. i mean, the piece was used in a bunch of early horror movies because it's dramatic and gothic sounding and came to be associated with those things in 20th century pop culture, but i don't think it was written to be "scary" by bach, nor was it really considered "scary" music by most of its audience until that association developed, much later on, but which is now so cliche as to become corny and thus no longer scary. so yes there was a relatively brief period of the piece's history when it was associated generally with dark themes, but i dont think the piece itself really scared many people. although i was certainly very nervous when i performed it in front of my whole school in 6th grade! quote:I guess you could also say the same thing about this guy's pop music album, then: manson is a scary figure because of the murders he committed, not because of the music he wrote, which isn't particularly scary at all. if you heard one of those tunes without knowing who wrote it, nothing about it would scare you. also, bach wasn't a murderer so im confused about what kind of point you are trying to make here Earwicker fucked around with this message at 19:25 on Jan 21, 2023 |
