I need your help... again.

[Kiddiarni]

Hey guys.

The freshman day is coming up, but right now we're looking for some music to play while one freshman is being brutally "slaughtered" on stage.  (Which is done every year).

It's part of the freshman "play" and splatter and slaughter is a tradition in that one...

Any ideas?  I'm looking for psychotic, fast, frightening... stuff that would be played in a movie when the bad guy is ripping the victim apart.

Did not know that you enjoyed Glass Larry....or was the above just a suggestion.

I sometimes enjoy him, but I don't think he's very good.

Sounds like something Abraham Lincoln would of said in one of his stump speeches....this kind of wit is always valued at this end. (LOL)

  Try passages from R. Strauss' ELEKTRA- what I highlighted in bold above comes quite close to what actually happens in the opera....

Bernard Hermann's shower scene music from the movie Psycho is just perfect.

[Kiddiarni]

It is.  But then again, it's to well known... and not as cool as if we had something fewer people have heard...

[71 dB]

The best effect is achieved by using as beautiful music as possible (e.g. Air from Bach's 3rd orch. suite). That really works, just watch Battle Royale movie.

I don't think so, it would be an unbearable cliché!

You really can't go wrong with Pachelbel's Canon.

Hey Bill do you watch Psych?  They had a line that I almost made my sig--

Sean: "Dude she has a headache, quick whistle something from Philip Glass to make it worse."

That is a great line David.  And speaking of lines, where do you line up with Galss?

I like him, I've no problem with minimalism.  I've only heard a few of his symphonies though, haven't thoroughly explored his output (but of course heard his music in movies alot).  There is only one work of minimalism that I really like though, and that's Gorecki's 3rd.

[PerfectWagnerite]

I suggest excerpts from Brian's 4th Symphony, the so-called "The Psalm of Victory", where it says: May thy foot be dipped in the blood of thy enemy, and the tongue of thy dog the same.

[Kiddiarni]

Thanks for the ideas, will most surely be helpful.

I especially like the 'Air on a G-String' or Canon, reminds me of the irony in Tarantino's Kill Bill, where Uma is slaughtering dozens of men while you listen to Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World"...

Is there a point to that movie other than killing is pretty cool?
