song help?
    #9850634 - 02/23/09 02:51 PM (15 years, 1 month ago)

Ok, so I'm working on directing the Greek tragedy Medea.
I have to make a pitch about my vision for it tomorrow. I'm doing it with a sort of modern twist.

There's this scene where the princess is burned to death by a dress that Medea gave to her to get revenge. Her death is describe by the messenger that comes to tell Medea what she's done. In the classic version, he just stands there telling her this ridiculously long detailed story of this girl's brutal death. So in my version, instead of having him just tell her, I'm going to sort of show the scene, but in a really abstract way. Only the dress will be seen on stage and each part of it is held by an invisible string. So the empty dress dances around the stage and does the things that the monologue describes her doing until it comes to the part it starts to burn and melt the girl's flesh. During that, smoke is going to start seeping from under the door and both sides of the stage while blood drips from above onto the dress. It'll be just be a few drops at first, but eventually blood and smoke are basically raining down over everything as the dress sort of dies in the way that the messenger is describing.

So for that scene, I want a song to be playing in the background while the monologue is being said in voice over. It needs to be pretty slow(at least in the beginning), melodic, and really dark and creepy and intense. Does anyone have any suggestions? I can't find anything I like.

Anesthetize - porcupine tree.
I'm sure theres a good chunk of that song that'll be good for it.

Both of those are awesome. Especially I Want You. That song can be so sinister if you put it in the right context.

The only problem is the lyrics. Something without any would be better, just because someone is speaking while the song is playing and I don't want too much going on.

Thanks a lot for responding. :mushroom2:
