Like most people on this string I think the music is relative to the scene. Some nice crunchy dark speed metal for a TF before or during a battle, (Slayer, Sabbat or summat like). Something mellower in the background if its a situation like Davids first TF An American Werewolf in London. Even playing in the background on the Radio or CD player. I'd love 'Doing the Unstuck' by the cure personally, but thats just me.

I gotta be honest. I haven't listend to them for years but I got Reign in Blood and South of Heaven. They're purfick. You should check out Sabbat tho. History Of A Time To Come is an AWESOME album and thier second album Dreamweaver (concept album based on a book called Way of the Wyrd) not far behind. They both have tracks that would suit a TF scene bang on.

Yeah I know what your both saying. Orchestral is good, but in some situations like I said above, for instance just before or during a battle/fight, the urgency and darkness of a thrash track can fit the bill.
That said, the mellow version of Blue Moon that was used for the 1st TF in American Werewolf worked spot on just in the background between scenes.

One of the best songs I've ever heard! And I think that the modern agressive sound of this song really fits for a TF-scene! The title-track of they'r latest album Generator is also cool (and listenable on http://www.myspace.com/aborym666 !).
Check it!

I totally agree. Hans Zimmer does really nice orchestral scores. When I'm writing stuff for my Werewolf: The Apocalypse group, I always listen to the Black Hawk Down soundtrack. Even though it has a strong Middle Eastern feel to it, which isn't exactly what I would qualify as my ideal music, my stories ideally have a certain suspensful mystery. Would something along the lines of the Black Hawk Down soundtrack work for Freeborn? That... depends.Syzygy wrote:On the other side of the coin the right music does wonders. i.e. Gladiator's score was done by Hans Zimmerman and I think it was brilliant and suited the scenes perfectly. It was subtle when it needed to be and epical at other times.
All of the ideas suggested would probably be really good... depending upon the kind of movie Freeborn is going to be. What is the emotional "flavor" of the movie? If the movie is going to be about an ordinary human-being being turned into a werewolf, and it's all mysterious with wolves darting from one shadow to the next just out of the character's peripheral vision... signs and hints of what's happening, but the characters are really in the dark (either figuratively or literally), then an eerie Hans Zimmer(esque) score would be perfect. If on the other hand, it's going to be an Underworld/Matrix knock-off gothic action kind of flick, then the whole Nine Inch Nails Techno crowd are on the right track. If it's going to be a more traditional horror flick, then another approach could be used (on a side note, if they wanted to stay with the whole low-budget idea, remember Blair Witch. No music worked great because it was a "reality" kind of look. Freeborn as a personal video diary of a character who gets infected with lycanthropy might be cool.) Without knowing what the atmosphere of the movie will be (mysterious, suspensful, angry/angsty/action, or something else entirely) it's sort of an irrelevant question (what should the music be like, that is). I'm tempted to start asking questions along these lines, but I want to be surprised (same reason I haven't requested to preview the script... even though I'm dying to know).

Soundtracks: I would love to hear songs like the ones used in Ravenous (in that style, I mean)! I've got the complete soundtrack from that movie on my computer, and I must say that its one of the best movie-soundtracks I've heard. A somehow freaky, but melancholic music. Especially the end-song from Ravenous almost moved me to tears.

This, I agree with, Read the Lyrics and listen to the song, heck, this would be a good theme song for a Werewolf PERIOD.Huntress wrote:"Animal i have become" by Three Days Grace it's the perfect song for a shifting scene, but if it's a short shift there is no point. This song should be played either when it's the first shift or the second one.
that, and if it's Real long, maybe... ((incoming FFVII geekness))
"One Winged Angel", The FFVII Advent Children Rock Version!
Completely off topic, but much respect to Scott for knowing that song. Great listening.Scott Gardener wrote:Celtic stuff can also work; Loreena McKennitt, the bagpipy part of The Church's "Under the Milky Way,"
Trying to think of something actually relevant... I've got a bit of a scenario running through my mind after reading this (and in fact I can almost visualise it, which in my case generally means I've seen it in a movie and mostly forgotten it): someone's at a party, there's the usual party sort of music going thump thump etc.; they start feeling ill, go off to a bedroom or a bathroom or a spare room of some sort, you just hear muffled music, and then the character starts going through the usual transformation type scene and the sounds are what the werewolf would be hearing - the muffled music would seque into the werewolf hearing his/her own heartbeat and the sort of "omigod I'm turning into something hairy!" sort of noises.
Yeah, sounds sort of garbled I suppose... I can see it but not describe it... wouldn't actually mind knowing which movie my subconscious pinched it from...

It would truly depend on what you want the person watching the movie to feel. Or rather, what kind of emotional element you want in it.
If you the heart-rushing, drama-building type of emotion, you would want the orchestral, probably the cello and bass. Possibly drums. Violas and Violins help contribute to a sad feeling, a feeling of loss. Brass instruments give a person a sense of victory, and winds, when done properly, can convey a sense of longing.
And that's my two cents.

You can run, you can hide, but I'll still pounce on you and lick you silly.

Re: Don't you want somebody to love you?
I wish I'd payed closer attention to this thread, because that's a very good idea. Especially for a "first exposure" scene where the main character of focus has no idea what he's looking at or what's happening to him/herself.Scott Gardener wrote:If we're going to go that route, maybe something psychedelic, such as Jefferson Airplane? "White Rabbit"?
I'd comment further, but unfortunately my experience when it comes to "trippy" psychedelic music is extremely limited. I'm sure the Blue Man Group could come up with something appropriate if given a clip, but I don't know if anything they've done could have a transformation scene built around it.

Don't see why not, I came across a version of Killing Moon on the new Nouvelle Vague album Band A Part. Not necessarily one for a TF scene but definately right for the openening credits.
