To celebrate Halloween, this week’s episode of the REVELACIÓN O TIMO podcast dedicates its focus first to horror cinema and also to a potential “horror music.” In the opening minutes we discuss a few classics and the latest fear-inducing films that are currently in vogue, from the Backrooms bluff to the recommended Obsession.
Musically speaking, we continue to recall illustrious cases such as John Carpenter, the success of Tubular Bells, or Nine Inch Nails’ reinvention. But what music can truly evoke fear? Is it inseparable from the images we associate it with through a soundtrack or a music video?
We talk about the Halloween playlist boom, largely more hedonistic in nature, which has relaunched tracks by Talking Heads or Lady Gaga. Finally, Claudio M. de Prado also delves into concepts such as ostinato, the tritone, or the mythical albums played in reverse.
