Stalker Music

Our inspiration for the opening of our soundtrack is from the music that is played at the start of The American movie 'American Psycho', as you can hear at the start of our soundtrack it is very calm and peaceful with a delicate and simple piano piece, merged with the sound effects of a storm to add to the atmosphere of the scene and to show it is raining outside of the room. After about 15-20 seconds the melody changes with the introduction of some more intricate piano pieces which merged with the first piece creates a simple yet effective melodic harmony. I also added in a contemplative synth sound to merge with the piano pieces to add an Eire atmosphere to the music to show that something isn't right and to give the viewer a sense that something is maybe going to happen. Throughout the composition i have left the piano in as it always gives a feeling of calm whereas later in the composition iv added an electric guitar riff in their to make the sound and feeling of the scenes quite static and uncertain and then halfway through the compostion I've added a more bassey sound into the composition still keeping with the piano but the electronic bass makes the tempo fast and makes the sound seem alot harder and more tense to emphasise to the viewer that the scene is becoming tenser. The mix of the calm piano and the tense guitar sound and the bass mixes well giving the viewer many different feelings about the scene as they all send different types of sounds to the viewer confusing them but at the same time keeping them in a state of calm.
