Using Electronic Elements Effectively
If you’ve ever seen a film where there are scenes with
tension, horror or something otherworldly, you’ve undoubtedly heard the
ubiquitous (usually) low synthesizer or bass/celli drone. The static,
unrelenting tone is generally the harbinger to something important is a comin’!
Whether you’re trying to convey anticipation of quietly
stalking a wild animal or waiting to see if the engine you’ve been rebuilding
will fire, the use of a drone can really perk up the tension. And it also
serves as a sort of “intro” leading to the climax of the your scene.
At CSS Music we have a couple different sources for these
types of tracks. Using our Keyword Alpha Lists you can explore topics like
Evolving, Futuristic, Horror, etc. You’ll find traditional compositions that
may embody some type of drone element or a track that fits the genre. But if
you want to dive right in to electronic mayhem, the CSS Music 6 disc set of
E-Efx (Electronic Effects) will provide you a wide selection of sounds.
Briefly…E-EFX is a potpourri volume with a variety of
electronics. E-EFX II provides whooshes, zaps, swipes, etc. E-EFX III (Lite)
offers more sparkly effects. E-EFX IV is more of the bizarro/alternative bent.
E-EFX V and E-EFX VI are your meat and potatoes electronics with multiple
versions of each category. NOTE: CSS Music recommends checking out the later
tracks (approx. cut 70-100) on E-EFX II through IV. You’ll find more musical
tracks that may perfectly suit your needs!
If you’re looking for music that evolves from a drone and
has more of a futuristic vibe, check out CSS Music’s 2-disc Soundscapes
library. This music could be deemed Electronica or Experimental—it’s definitely
a unique experience!
