Searching for the 'world's spookiest music'
Spacedog has teamed up with psychologist and magician Richard Wiseman to find the ‘world’s spookiest music’
Why is some music spookier than others? Which tracks give you a shiver down the spine? Is it the music, the lyrics or the association with a creepy film or place that gives it that edge?
We’d love you to tell us so we’ve set up a mini survey to find the ‘world’s spookiest music’ (well, at least Brighton’s spookiest). Jenny and I promise to perform the most chilling number in Electroplasm – a brand new show that mixes music with a live reconstruction of a Victorian séance.
We’re up for any music that gets under your skin – whether it’s an old Bowie number or a nursery rhyme with lyrics that gave you the creeps as a kid. If it gives you that delightful shiver down the spine, we want it in our show. Across the evening, we’ll be perform with vocals, theremin, saw and some unsettling home-spun automata (including Uncanny Valerie, a moving, ‘all-seeing’ 1950s doll). And once we’ve chilled you to the bone with our eerie music, the theatre will fall into complete darkness as Richard Wiseman invites you to participate in the evening’s séance.
Author of popular science book Quirkology, Richard has been researching the psychology and social history of the Victorian séance for many years. He’s advised world-class performers on séances, including Brighton resident Nick Cave (for his recent promo video Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!). Ooooh….
**** Survey participants can also enter our draw for two pairs of free tickets to the show ****
