The music covered in this week's episode is called Shooter on the Roof. It was written for season 2 of the true crime podcast _Alibi _and was inspired by the slow, climactic buildup scenes in many action and thriller files. It’s suitable for true crime, action and tension moments.
In this episode, we examine:
Taking the listener on a journey towards tensionThe timeless art of the low, rhythmic pulseMulti-tracking distorted guitar for a big presenceThe filthy sound of additive synthesis PItchbending for maximum dissonanceThe literal tension of stringed instrumentsThe female choir as an epic Biblical or spiritual soundNine Inch Nails layer-by-layer builds * Alibi: the award-winning South African true crime story which has been called the ‘South African Serial’ http://alibi.org.za (podcast available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify)
