tarkus Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Every Halloween, I get involved either with the neighborhood or halloween parties. I have no gigs this year so hopefully I can continue the scary tradition of providing the trick or treaters some background music. We usually start of with a good pair of outdoor speakers or borrow a PA. Stereo is neccessary. If I am not Keyboard ready (like this year ) I'll have the theremin hooked up to an amp or direct and the CD player on shuffle. I made a Halloween sound fx cd back in 2001 with loads of scariness realized from the Triton as well as other studio effects. It's a solid 40 minutes of audible horror. I'll mix in ELP - Tocatta (live version is scary) Tomita: Pictures at an Exhibition, The Unanwered Question Bartok: Celeste and orchestra King Crimson: The Deception of the Thrush, Arena of Terror Pink Floyd: Umma Gumma - Sysyphus, Several Species of Small furry animals etc.... Well this is how I add to Halloween fun. No Monster Mash here. I'll usually cap-off the evening with a recording of Orson Wells and the Mercury Theater doing HG Wells War of the Worlds.

Phait Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 God I'd have fun writing Halloween soundtracks, that's not a bad idea.... when I do soundtrack/ambient/creepy type stuff, it's not like cheesey 50's or B movie stuff... more "serious" sounding. I can imagine it being used in a haunted house quite well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
