OTHER HALLOWEEN
SOUNDSCAPES |
|
A soundscape is a piece of music
intended to create a particular mood and enhance the atmosphere
based on a theme. These are not sound effects, but music. Below are our top picks for the best Halloween
music and soundscape CD's.
 Jon Hyers
of
Outrageous Media has begun to create Haunting Music CDs, besides his
many visual effects DVDs. Hyers, trained in Music in College,
has begun recording some 20 years of tunes, using a Roland Gain,
Yamaha Keyboard, and Vintage Moog Synthesizer. The idea is
spooky background tracks for a wide range of situations. Much of
this music is used in Jon's film, Harry Murdoch and the Curse of
the Grim Reaper.
The Haunting
Music Collection Volume 1
The Haunting Music Collection is, original music composed by
Mpls/St. Paul Composers for the Outrageous Media, Inc. Haunting
Music Project. The music is diverse in style, and is totally
different than the traditional mainstream "Goofy" Halloween
Music found for a bargain in many stores. The music is inspired
primarily by Big Movie Horror and Mystery Music. Volume 1
features the Scarier of the CDs, and comes in a 4-pack of Music.
The Haunting Music Collection
Volume 2
This 4-CD set is the continuation of Outrageous Media Inc's
Halloween and Haunted House Music Series. The music is original,
and created specifically by Mpls and St. Paul Musicians on this
collaborative effort. These tracks are more Mysterious than
Scary. Set the mood with great original music.
 Classics From
The Crypt - Preformed by the Boston Pops and
Philadelphia Orchestras, these are some of the best-known pieces
of classicn music, including Bach's Toccata & Fugue in D Minor,
Gounod's Funeral March of a Marionette (the Alfred Hitchcock
Presents theme), Grieg's Peer Gynt, Dukas's Sorceror's
Apprentice and other similarly sinister sounding pieces just go
to show that Classical music is for everyone and fits right in
with Halloween! RCA

The funeral march
music that we all know and think of is actually called the "Marche
funèbre". It is in the third movement of the Piano Sonata No. 2 in
B-flat minor, Op. 35, composed by Frédéric Chopin between 1837 and
1839. This works great as Halloween music when playing in your
graveyard or outside your house. Left click this link
