The change, does it wrack the bones and rend the flesh ? Yes, indeed it does. But is this pain and agony alone ? No, in fact hardly at all. It is the Sacrament of the Moon. The flesh flows and so do the endorphins. It is, in truth, the agony ecstatic; The Pain That Is Pleasure

Ah, I think disturbing could be quite exquisite .....yeah...Morkulv wrote:I think no music at all would make the scene really disturbing.

I agree that horror has become predictable, but I am not so sure that having absolute silence during a transformation would be all that disturbing. There are so many things conveyed by music. It heightens anticipation, one of the elements of theater. It can convey tone and increase adrenaline.
I suppose it depends on what the filmakers are trying to convey by the showing the TF. Is it to give you sympathy for the werewolf? In other words, is the victim of lycanthropy writhing in agony for his transformation or is it rather pleasurable? All these things can be increased by the addition of a score or song.
As an example, watch Conan the Barbarian with the sound on mute (Stupid movie I know). We had to as a demonstration of the power of music, it was phenominal how much was missing just by muting the music!
I vote for music during the TF but I vote for something that might change the tired, overworked cliches of past movies. I vote for beauty in the music!

"Burnin' Love" by Elvis.....
Lord Almighty,
I feel my temperature rising
Higher higher
It's burning through to my soul
Girl, girl, girl
You gonna set me on fire
My brain is flaming
I don't know which way to go
Your kisses lift me higher
Like the sweet song of a choir
You light my morning sky
With burning love
Ooh, ooh, ooh,
I feel my temperature rising
Help me, I'm flaming
I must be a hundred and nine
Burning, burning, burning
And nothing can cool me
I just might turn into smoke
But I feel fine
Cause your kisses lift me higher
Like a sweet song of a choir
And you light my morning sky
With burning love
It's coming closer
The flames are reaching my body
Please won't you help me
I feel like I'm slipping away
It's hard to breath
And my chest is a-heaving
Lord Almighty,
I'm burning a hole where I lay
Cause your kisses lift me higher
Like the sweet song of a choir
You light my morning sky
With burning love
With burning love
Ah, ah, burning love
I'm just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love

I was just recently introduced to the power metal band Falconer, and their song "Child of the Wild" is almost PERFECT. The lyrics are awesome, but the music itself may be a little too...medieval. I dunno.

Yeah... I agree with that. It would propably be better in the long run if there was music during the scene, but the kind of music is a crutial hinge factor. The last thing I want to see in any werewolf TF sequence is some liecenced mainstream rock song. (Spoken lyrics in a song, no matter how "fitting", has an amazing ability to distroy a movie's impact, in my books at least.)Herpscott wrote:... There are so many things conveyed by music.

I'd be more intrested in something more instramental. Does any here know that dark errie violen/string theme from Ginger Snaps? Now there's a good friggin mood-setter if I've ever heard one. Something like that would be much better then shredded guitairs and some loud, angry, screaming guy which most movies in the past have relied on.

Well, I might as well suggest a few things in that field.Silverclaw wrote:Classical music is always cool
1) Prometheus: the Poem of Fire by Alexander Scriabin. Also good (but difficult as hell to get) is Universe, by Alexander Nemtim.
2) (used to death, perhaps, but still a good source) The Rite of Spring (Le Sacre de Printemps) by Igor Stravinsky
3) hmm... something by Schoenberg? His music's bizarre...
1/3 squirrel - Sciurus vulgaris (European red squirrel), or Eupetaurus cinerius (wooly flying squirrel, native to Kashmir). 1/3 stoat (mustela erminea). 1/3 human (Homo Sapiens.

I know that on guitar and it inspired me to write another violin song (Using an effects pedal) very different notes of course, nothing stolen haha. It's a song that is the mournful side of shape shifting, it reminds me of dark forests and horror and mood setting, etc. It's very haunting and Im damned proud of it!any here know that dark errie violen/string theme from Ginger Snaps?
Ginger Snaps is a fine werewolf film.

On the "no music" point:
The scene in Jurassic Park that got the most under my skin was the T Rex attack on the car, when the children were in it. I wasn't the only one: lots of people in the packed theatre were shouting and screaming and not a few were bolting from their seats.
A couple days later, when I thought back on it, I realized it wasn't so much the imagery on the screen that bothered me but the fact that there was NO MUSIC ON THE SOUNDTRACK. Real life doesn't usually have a soundtrack, so when there's no music the mind reads it as if it's actual, real-time experience. Music is distracting, so if there's none then the visual impact is heavier.
Remember that in American Werewolf in London, during the TF, the music was there but it was played very quietly, in the background, and intermittently? Stuck with ya, didn't it?

I know I suggested a song earlier, but no music might be a good idea. I have found that some music really detracts from the scene and music can seriously spoil the element of surprise.
On the other side of the coin the right music does wonders. i.e. Gladiator's score was done by Hans Zimmerman and I think it was brilliant and suited the scenes perfectly. It was subtle when it needed to be and epical at other times.
