What do Bach’s Harpischord Concerto in D minor, Lindsey Stirlings Shatter Me and Opeth’s Demon of the Fall have in common? A darker style of writing. I’ve always loved dark music. My favourite songs span all genres, but have this one thing in common. All compositions would fit dark fantasy stories perfectly. This means a lot of influences are audible in my compositions. So whether you like dark classical music or horror soundtracks, it might be a perfect fit for you. I play both guitar, violin and viola. All of which I use heavily in my compositions. Over the years I’ve collected a diverse set of guitars, violas, violins and other instruments that suit my dark and creepy music. Thanks to modern technology, we can make music scarier than ever. Using computers, we can record sounds and twist them around. Reversing sounds, cutting them to pieces, distorting them or change their pitch. This kind of experimentation can give music today a whole new direction. It is the kind of thinking that made Hans Zimmer’s theme for Batman so intense, and Charlie Clouser’s theme for Saw so surreal and uncomfortable. It is exactly this kind of experimenting I love using in my horror and dark orchestral music as well.
