Music Research

Batman 1989

This film is not of the horror genre, but its gothic aspects create a very interesting soundtrack. The soundtrack consists, mainly, of orchestral elements. However it uses more individual and spookier instruments such as a celeste - a piano-like instrument which creates a high pitched chiming sound.

Composed by Danny Elfman, who features minimalistic aspects in his compositions, the piece gives a dark feel which suits the directing style of Tim Burton. The gothic yet heroic feel of the piece suits Batman's character perfectly through a minor tone.

This would fit perfectly into my piece as a 'dark' element within the soundtrack is essential to a horror movie. r
