One thing I really would like to have in my final exhibition is music. Music can really set the mood for someplace like a store, and what people are listening to when browsing bookshelves can help bring the brand to another level by incorporating another one of the senses. I, however, am kind of inept when it comes to knowing what songs to pick--I'll know what I want when I hear it, but I have no idea where to start. Fortunately for me, I have a music major sister who is more than happy to throw music my way, and has a strong sense of the mood I'm going for since we have the same interests when it comes to books and bookstores. I'm pumped about what she's give me thus far..
Philip Glass is a minimalist composer, and his work definitely has an eerie, ambient quality that I associate with sci fi.
And A Carnival of Animals: Aquarium also has a fantastical, yet slightly eerie, quality to it.
(ignore the odd video for Sea Song) I think there may also be a fair amount of celtic music, since I associate it with fantasy...and it's one of my favorite musical genres, so I'm bias.
So I'm excited. Even if a play list doesn't end up in the final project, having music to work with will give me a stronger idea of the atmosphere I want to create.
