Hey folks! I'm lookign for help with finding appropriate music to act as backgroudn and atmosphere enahcner for the next session. The party will be ebntering an abyssal realm, who takes the form of a sort of a sinister, dark, tropical chain of islands, with lots of jungles and the like. The realm in question is the creation of the demon lord of lust, darkness, secrets and assassination. She is also the first succubus, and this gets reflected on the realm. I am looking for two types of music tracks for this exploration:
1) Exploring the jungles/ islands: I'm aiming to try and catpure some elements. It doesn't have to have them all, but them roe the better (I can incorporate several tracks to get some moods along):
- An alien place: This is the first time the party travels to a different plane, and I'd really liek them to feel that "We're not in kansas anymore..." The music should have touches of something... not quite human, not quite normal, bizarre, out ot the range of regular music.
- Luscious vivid wild nature exploration: Most of the islands are sparesly inhabited, and are overgrown with thick, ancient jungles. I'd really like to have the feel of "In the wild!" going on.
- Temptation and seduction: This need not be overt, but a feeling of beign welcomed, taken care for, wanted, lusted for, and so on... some hints of sensuality, sexuality and so on...
- Danger and a sinsiter nature: Lastly, if at all possible, I'd really liek to keep thefeelign of danger, and that this place is inherently evil (Abyss after all), and ominous in some way. I'd like this to feel soemwhat subtle, but enoguh to get the feelign across that "Hey! Better watch out!"
Ideally the tracks should contain music only, or words/ talkign not in english. (I'd liek to avoid the party trying to listen and figure out the words, it distracts too much. Happened before). I can loop tracks, so short tracks are ok as well.
2) Abyssal Metropolis: The party seeks to get to an abyssal metropolis, with millions of demons, rampant sin, trade ,violence and danger. The themes I'm looking to capture here are:
- Sinful fun and temptation: This shoould be MUCH more evident than in the jungles. The city caters to any kind of temptations, delights, wants, desires and so on. The place is ruled by lots of succubi, and nearly every inn or such also functions as a sort of brothel. I'd liek to capture that.
- Danger at every corner: With millions of entities embodying chaos and evil, and the rule of power, I'd like the place to feel qutie hazardous, bordering (Or crossing) to violence and more quite often.
- Busy busy city: The place is the trade hub of the abyss, where you're supposedly asble to find whatever you'd like. I'd like the place to feel liek a hgue metropolis, liek the super cities of our world. Aimign at a feelign liek New York or London Or Shenghai and such.
- The suffering in the open: The place also have lots of slaves, tortured victims and the like. As this is the city of demons, I'd like the party to also feel/ witness the great sufferign this city thrives on. It may be extremley difficult to put this with the other tracks, but I'd really liek somethign unnerving, disturbing, empathy triggerign music that I can put at some times.
Tracks here can include more lyrics and words, 9I'm thinking of usign soem of Enigma's tracks, or Eurythmics "Sweet Dreams are Made of These" for example), as this place needs to feel very much a lived in place. An over stimulation of the senses and music is encoruaged at soem tracks.
I hope you can help, thanks for the suggestions! :smallsmile:
