The Cursed | Music Upload

After comparing our footage to that of a gothic horror like that of Hammer Productions I decided more drama and articulation was needed in our soundtrack.

The opening title sequence for 'The Horror Of Dracula' Has a full orchestral score and so does 'the Phantom Of The Opera'. The use of strings and voice is truly prevalent and created a luscious cacophony of dissonance untouched in my original composition. Although there is no use of dissonance in these examples the principles of auxiliary chords (chord with additional unsequencial notes) the idea is more contemporary and the mixed frequencies produced create a scream like timbre to all the instruments.

The new music also bears resemblance to the leitmotif used in 'Suspiria' the breath just audible and the repetitive cell of melody was the perfect suggestion for a supernatural horror.
