Instrumental music for a show about bullying
June 29, 2016 11:35 AM   Subscribe

Hi all -- I'm putting together a radio programme about bullies and am looking for instrumental music to use in between the interviews -- somewhat creepy and menacing but not too melodramatic, if that makes sense. Any (and all) suggestions are welcome. Thank you for your help.

Neil Young's instrumental soundtrack to the movie Dead Man.

Parts of Carmina Burana would be excellent.

Seconding Mogwai. Other post rock to check out: Explosions in the Sky (especially their newest album seems fitting for this project), This Will Destroy You, possibly Caspian.

David Shire's soundtrack from The Conversation could be suitable. Also on Spotify and iTunes etc.

Some examples:

Amy's Theme
Main Theme
Whatever Was Arranged

(Looking at comments on youtube, it seems to get used on shows like Radiolab and This American Life a lot, if that has any weight or bearing).

Maybe something from the Jerry Goldsmith score for the John Landis segment of "Twilight Zone - The Movie." There are really active intense parts which might cross your line for melodrama, but there are also slower tension-building parts.
