Witch-House.com compilation PART 3 - theme

Post Posted

So the Part 2 is out, time to decide on part 3.

Theme for the new compilation: THE X FILES

what do you guys think ?

the series is FULL of interesting samples and ideas (noone says the track has to sample the music from the movie)

---------------


Another idea is SANDMAN by NEIL GAIMAN, again full of different ideas and characters, that can trigger some nice tunes.



Discuss....

I love the Sandman idea, personally. But then again I am a HUGE comics nerd. I think the x-files themed one will end in a few zombie rave remixes of the theme with a few "I want to believe" samples thrown in for good measure... That's just my opinion though.

Attending to something without a built-in sonic palette is infinitely more interesting to me, if I'm honest :D

i'm not in love with either (though sandman appeals to me a lot more than X-files). how about a wider sandman-ish theme--dreams, maybe?

still not sure i'd have time to participate, though. i continue to be busy, and i'm still not sure i can cook up something witch enough.

Playing off of the idea of dreams, what about alternative states of consciousness in general?

Drugs, meditation, visualization, hypnosis... That sort of thing. Just a thought, though I do like the SANDMAN idea as well, great series.

Well I'm up for cooking something up for this, and I reckon "early spring" could be a good way to go, has some consistency with the theme of the last release. There's definitely merit in the X Files idea though, as long as it didn't just degenerate into zombie rave remixes of the theme music as pointed out - then we'd just be in novelty territory.

I am in favor of themes as it encourages people to write music specifically for the compilation.
My personal preference is for people to come together and give their interpretation of something as it makes it interesting.

As always I am happy to master everything, but looking at my schedule over the next few months it is unlikely I will be able to contribute a track this time.

what about rewriting the music to an okkvlt film or an exorcism film.

or having one of the more story telling talented wh forum people write an okkvlt/exorcism/etc story and we write the music to that.
each producer clarifies which section of the story his music is too. and the best for each section get picked?

The thing I like about this music is that it does not adhere to a specific style and theme. I think placing so much thematic and structural limitation on it is a bad idea. I like the idea of the "state of witch-house". As the style is evolving quite a bit since 2010 and I think it is important to embrace that. Like my friends tend to say, witch-house, like the honey badger, really does not give a shit what you think about it. It just is. It just happens that way. Unapologetic and raw.

Don't get pigeonholed ;)

I actually really like this idea...

I'm a writer and filmmaker myself and would be willing to either make a short film or write some prose/poetry for the project, given the proper time and input from everyone else involved of course, something like a list of themes or events to be included, so everyone has a hand in the creative pot... So to speak.

Could this be the beginnings of the first WH.com DVD release? :mrgreen:
