Sting sound ideas

Consider Sound;

For a while my sketchbook has developed and centred around quite similar themes - of being dark, mystericous, mythical, and a little bit creepy. i have recently begin to think about music i know to convey a similar tone. An artist that sprung to mind is Max Richer. He is a classical musician who's music I first heard from ‘the leftovers’ where it is used beautifully to convey emotion and despair. - I feel that his music could work really well.

I will look into his work further - listen out for songs that draw my attention. 

Other classical composers?

UPDATED:
Further research,
- I have worked on s selection of storyboards that all carry a very similar tone. I want to seat considering the music at this stage because I think it will help with the pacing and overall production of the animation. From researching some short animations, its clear to see how important the selection of music is, - how much it can have an impact on the effectiveness of an animation.
- My storyboards at this stage are centred around one of the key moments of the book - bunny's murder. I want the sound to emphasise the importance of this consequential situation - convey a feeling of despair and horror. 
- Im really interested in exploring the use of classical music. This will work really well to compliment the tone of the book. - theres a strong link between classical music and the upper class characters and private college. Donna Tartt is also a keen listener of classical music.

Possible Composers/music choices;

- Max Richer.
- Absolutly love his music - feel so connected to his songs, - always draw me in. Beautiful - touching, emotive, and haunting.
"Reaches out somewhere beyond the mortal world. Beguilling." - The New Yorker.
"Musically incredible, and conceptually spot on. Max Richer is truly a modern day musically genius."
- Olafur Arnalds
- Heard his music from drama 'broad church'.
- Ólafur Arnalds is a bafta-winning multi-instrumentalist and producer from Mosfellsbær, Iceland. Ólafur Arnalds mixes strings and piano with loops and edgy beats crossing over from ambient/electronic to pop.
- The Cinematic Orchestra
- Lots of beautiful piano and orchestra pieces. very touching and heartfelt music.
- John Luther Adams
- His a great naturalist composer. His music is inspired by, and sometimes performed in natural landscapes, particularly the Alaskan environment where he lives.
- His music has a very surreal and other worldly feel. Very atmospheric. quite chilling/disturbing.
- Frederic Rzewski
- This american composer had made his name with bold, gritty takes on big political topics.
- His music is very captivating - good at building up and create any kind of atmosphere. - manipulating the audience to feel whatever is desired. - can change from one emotion to the next quickly.

Now I have decided on my final animation, I feel more confident in picking out the right music to match. the subject of my animation; - the sleeping forest, ‘the murder’. - want something that fits with this quite eerie scene. - emotional, moving,…
I felt there were a lot of good options to choose from - but I have decided to go with 

one of my favourites -  ‘The twins - prauge' - by Max Richer 
- so haunting and beautiful. I think it will really compliment the animation well.
- the piano is quite fast moving but gentle at the same time. - the minor key used, helps express the emotive tone i want to create.
- When putting together with my animation, i need to consider which 15 second snippet of the song i will use. - think about  timing - there are moments where the song is more dramatic and i would like to time these parts to coincide with the different aspects of movement. - i.e - an eye opening, the figure falling. 
- Utilise it in a way to make these moments more poignant, dramatic and memorable.
- Can manipulate the movement of my animation to fit to the pace of the music.
- side note; also find that the light piano melody descries the beauty of of the landscape quite perfectly.
