Amongst the Ruins is my favorite song in this playlist, but I think that Somnolent is by far the creepiest song with strange howling beasts and a preacher that sounds like a demon (or a Goa’uld<\/a>).<\/p>\n These songs are probably not to most people’s tastes because they have lots of weird synthesizers and spooky ambient sound effects, but I find them strangely artistically inspiring. When I was in art school, we always had music playing as we worked to help enhance our creativity.<\/p>\n To accompany this post, I searched around in my massive photo collection to find something suitably creepy, and I found this photo of a rather frightening looking African carving with blank eyes and electrocuted eyebrows.<\/p>\n The carved figure is one of a number of attractive African artworks that my parents have displayed around their house, and when not lit from below it looks quite harmless. A very old photographic trick is to light faces from below to make them look creepy or evil, as can be seen with this photo<\/a> of the renowned horror movie actor Bela Lugosi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" While I often listen to classical music or relaxing new age music when I’m writing papers or working on one of my websites, I sometimes like to listen to something a little bit different or somewhat darker like this playlist of my favorite creepy ambient electronic songs. 1.
