Since he just contacted me and no time frame was mentioned, I'll take a risk and assume that this was 24hrs ago.
Mr. Argento, I have an exciting style for you to listen to. It's perfect for Suspiria, and when I'm finished with my pitch, I think it will sell itself.
There are several inspirations that I have which I wish to blend together into a musical melting pot. After all, you yourself are known for casting those of different cultures and languages and having lines phonetically fed to actors who don't understand each other. This is one of the brilliant subtleties of your movies. I intend to carry on the tradition with your soundtrack.
First, I have looked to Japan to a bright young composer named Michiru Yamane. She is a famous video game composer in Japan, and her music has gothic overtones that are perfectly mixed with power rock. Listen to her brilliant soundtrack to Symphony of the Night. These are but one of the elements I wish to bring to your movie. A beautifully composed piano soundtrack intertwined with some elements of rock seem to be essential to the feel we wish to create. She can create silence when silence should be had, and then bring the audience to it's knees with a sudden surge.
Here are some samples from her brilliant Symphony of the Night soundtrack. Prologue is a highlight of why I have chosen her as an example.
Next I've looked to Sweden to composer Bo Hansson. His quirky instrumental music on albums such as Attic Thoughts bring a classic 70's feel to the table. This is the second element I want to bring to your film. I want to mix in the nostalgia of a time when the world opened its eyes to the genre and forever changed the face of the modern horror industry. Mr. Hanssons music always has an air about it as if it is building to something. I love the feel of constant suspense this style can bring to the table.
Here is a sampling of his music from Attic Thoughts.
Finally, I've looked to Germany to rock band Amon Duul II. Their crunchy rock style mixed with various musical instruments and occasional bizarre voice overs will add the final touch I am looking for. Their album Wolf City is a strong example. I strongly believe this is the final touch in the feel of your movie. An element of the bizarre gives the viewer that subtle, other worldly experience that mixes well with a the supernatural.
Here are some samplings from Wolf City. Although all of their music may not seem to be a perfect fit, the track Deutsch Nepal gives a prime example of why I chose them as inspiration.
So there you have it. I can combine these three styles, and together we can create a horrible beauty.
