Music Score

Since Nathan's talking about favorite songs over on his blog, it got me to thinking. Have you ever wondered while writing your novel what kind of a music score would best fit your storyline? I have. At least for KILLER OF KILLERS, I have. Since KOK is an action adventure, mostly fast-paced thriller, I would put rock music to it. And since Heavy Metal is my favorite rock music, I would go with a lot of heavy metal riffs. Especially during the action scenes.

And during the tender moments of romance, obviously, slow it down with some ballad-like tunes.

For THE VASE, I would go with Eastern sounds, of which I am not too familiar, but I gotta believe it would be more fitting for the location over there in Israel, and also since it has some Palestinian main characters. Of course, I could have some conventional music scores mixed in there, too.

But no heavy metal for THE VASE. The mood is different in this story. Way different. Two different stories, thus two different types of music scores. It's a good idea to ponder.
