I've been experimenting with music and mood changes in my professional capacity quite a lot lately. The choice of music within a production can be quite significant in terms of the overall mood of the scene, which is pretty obvious. However, the mood can change dramatically with the choice of music within a genre for example...I have been looking for some fairly depressing, maudlin music for something, and eventually found Ghosts1 by Nine Inch Nails, and slow and frankly depressing piece. However, I have used a different piece of depressing music, and the whole dynamic of the scene has now changed. This fascinates me, and even more so in children. Youngest had to write some paragraphs on five pieces of instrumental music at the weekend....I chose 5 quite diverse pieces, and her descriptions were delicious :-) I am now writing under the influence as well...If I want to get in the mood for something I find music is very powerful...I am going to try and write under some different influences in the next few weeks and see what happens.
