Hello Composers, Mike here. And you are about to go on a new learning adventure. Your destination for this journey, is to learn the secrets of darkness, tension, dissonance and intensity in music.

• The Sounds of Dark Music

• Dark Music in Action

You will get lots of practical tips, live examples, breakdowns and demonstrations, as well as several opportunities to practice what you learn so that you will truly master the knowledge you gain.

Let me first define what I mean by Dark Music, because I use this genre term in a broad sense. Here are some examples of styles and moods of dark music:

• Evil & Powerful

• Dark Underscore

• Thrilling Tension

• Ominous & Intense

• Scary Chaos

This means that dark music composition is all about creating an overall mood and emotional response that can be summed up in one word: tension. But tension can come in many different colors in music, from shrill piercing harmonics, to dark brooding drones. From rhythmic accented power notes, to deep rich legato notes. Basically this will cover anything from the Darth Vader theme, all the way to the Aliens soundtrack.
