Emilie Autumn/ Violindustrial
Came across this Draco/Hermione soundtrack thingy, and saw this fanmix.
Do you guys know anything about Emilie Autumn?
Man, her songs are scary. Some are really nice and sweet, like "Be Silent, Be Still" and "Faces like mine" where the piano is the only accompanying instrument. But songs like "I know where you sleep" sounds really demented.
She's supposedly a rape victim, so I understand where some of her songs are coming from. But it's really scary and the tunes are so diverse. From classical, to jazz standards and something for what she is known for, Violindustrial and Victoriandustrial. Where it's a mix of violin/classical, victorian and industrial music. Sounds classy gothic though...lots of electronics used.
I like how in one song she incorporated the harpsichord, heavy bass/drums beats, and the violins together in the instrumental song "Dominant". Also in another, which I can't remember the title, she had a famous classical piece mixed in with the industrial music/vocals. That was beautiful...
She's really good though, even if some of her lyrics irk me. LOL...
It's an acquired taste for her music.
I think Eddie will love it. LOL...sounds like the kind of music you'll produce.
