Music in a Dot Room?

[spideranne]

So, I am more then likely going to do a dot room this year. And I started wondering if there should be music or sound, and then what would be the right kind of music or sound effects. Any suggestions? What has everyone else done?

I always thought it would be cool to have a surround sound setup with a ghostly voice whispering from one speaker, then from another on the other side of the room while the dots slowly start to move.

Hey Spideranne last year I used a piece from Tony Gonzalez' Dark Matter CD called "Crystals of the Dot People" and it worked out awesomely. I think he tailored it for dot rooms... not because of the name but because of the sound. It's abstract, it's disorienting, and it's creepy as hell. Makes the ultimate soundscape for a place where people's sense of space and perspective are obliterated. I got my copy from Gore Galore, I'm not sure who else sells it. A few do. I ripped that track and then fade/overlayed it in Audacity over and over until I had a single file that filled up that cheapie 16Mb MP3 player. It would play continuously that way for a long time before it had to actually loop. It was perfect. You can review the tracks her (http://cdbaby.com/cd/gonzalezjrholcomb)e. "Crystals" is what I used; the previous track "The 7th Circle" is also very abstract but much weirder and more bizarre; kinda disturbing actually. Check it out. I thought it was worth the purchase price just for that one track (there's 4 long tracks plus a speaker test track).

That is very cool. I was thinking something "twilight zone" without being so literal and that hits the mark.

My dot room is painted with all different colors of florescent dots that glow under black light.

After is was finished last year, I could only imagine circus music with it this year. I thinking of going the clown route this year, even though I have avoided clowns in the past.

I could so easily see it with circus calliope music.

[Monk]

creepy circus music, definitely.

Oh man, I was in a dot room 2 years ago that freaked me right out! It was all painted black with florescent yellow and blue dots. And that was disturbing enough but then it turned out there were a bunch of people wearing black clothes with the same dots painted on them that you don't see AT ALL until they come for you! It was totally insane!

Thanks Reverent for the "Crystals of the Dot People" referral. I'm looking for some music like this to use in a GID clown exhibit and I really love the mood of it. If you hadn't mentioned it I don't think I would have found it on my own.

Great idea !!!!

clown music or even what the first poster said (forget your name already sorry) and add whispers too! Why have one when you can have it all!?!?
