I’ve been on the prowl for some new tunes to shovel like coals into the furnace of my imagination. Trentemøller is an old favourite of mine and provided the menacing soundscapes I needed back in 2008 when I was working on the bloody ending to Edge: corporate espionage in the realm of new-technology meets the cosmic horror of the Cthulhu Mythos, in this punchy novel set in a remote snowboarding resort in New Zealand.
So here I am in 2011, sketching out a free-giveaway scenario for Yellow Dawn based on the Polanksi film, The Ninth Gate; also prepping the novel I finished writing last year, Living In Flames, getting it ready for publication in 2012; and working on the massive overhaul and update to Yellow Dawn (2.1).
All engines are burning: I need sounds to carry me on.
I’m looking forward to this relic from Trentemøller’s archives to give me the dark juice I need.
