Abstract

rals behind what I write. In the case of ‘Demonic Symphony’, What happens to Eleanor is symbolic. It is an example of the high cost of ambition. Harold’s relentless pursuit of recognition and success leads not just to his own downfall, but to the sacrifice of the one person who truly loved and supported him.</blockquote><blockquote id="93fd">Miz: Do you actually believe in cursed tunes?</blockquote><blockquote id="1463">Me: Good question. I haven’t come across any…yet. But the idea’s intriguing. Makes for a good story, doesn’t it? Speaking of which, have you ever heard of ‘CROSS ROAD BLUES, by ROBERT JOHNSON?’ You could take a look at the story behind that and decide for yourself.</blockquote><figure id="d6d3"><img src="https://cdn-images-1.readmedium.com/v2/resize:fit:800/0*LKETMiAvzbqJutwx"><figcaption><a href="https://amzn.to/45mTGaU">Cross Road Blues</a></figcaption></figure>Miz: What about that background music, though?Me: Ah.

Author Interview With Tyler Woden: Writing ‘Demonic Symphony’

Miz: Tyler, why did you write ‘Demonic Symphony? Me: Well…

Writing ‘Demonic Symphony’

Miz: Dude, what made you think of ‘Demonic Symphony’?

Me: I’ve always been fascinated by how music can be both captivating and eerie. I studied the life of Mozart (Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart) at University, and he’s a fascinating study. For example, did you know Mozart often used a special kind of coded language or “mirror writing” in his letters? He used it with his beloved cousin, Maria Anna Thekla, kind of like a secret language. It was called “The Mozart Code,” and you can look it up. To answer your question, I guess ‘Demonic Symphony’ is my twist on what might have happened if Mozart ever found a certain…sheet of paper.

Miz: Ms. Agatha’s creepy. How’d you come up with her?

Me: I wanted someone who knew the dark secret of the composition. Agatha’s like the mysterious gatekeeper of the tale. I just imagined an old lady who had seen quite a lot in her life and…dabbled in many a dark thing. I don’t explore her as a character too deeply, mainly because I don’t want the audience to get lost before the tale is told. She is fleshed out, though, if people ever want to learn more about her.

Miz: The whole concert hall transformation was wild. How’d you envision that?

Me: Thanks! Music’s transformative, right? I thought it’d be cool to show that in a literal work. I don’t want to spoil the story for anyone who hasn’t seen or heard it, but I did what I could to portray it changing everything around Harold and his wife, Eleanor. I made the speed of the transformation somewhere in the middle so it didn’t end up being a super long video. I hope viewers like it.

Miz: Man, Eleanor’s ending was intense. Why her?

Me: Why not her? My stories are usually quite dark, but there are always morals behind what I write. In the case of ‘Demonic Symphony’, What happens to Eleanor is symbolic. It is an example of the high cost of ambition. Harold’s relentless pursuit of recognition and success leads not just to his own downfall, but to the sacrifice of the one person who truly loved and supported him.

Miz: Do you actually believe in cursed tunes?

Me: Good question. I haven’t come across any…yet. But the idea’s intriguing. Makes for a good story, doesn’t it? Speaking of which, have you ever heard of ‘CROSS ROAD BLUES, by ROBERT JOHNSON?’ You could take a look at the story behind that and decide for yourself.

Miz: What about that background music, though?

Me: Ah. Well, I think the right music can make or break suspense. I had this made to go with this story especially. I’m serious about story telling, and I think the Demonic Symphony fits. What do you think?

Miz: Sequel, maybe?

Me: Every tune has its reprise. I’ll let this one settle first and go from there 😉.

Miz: Got any tips for someone trying out horror writing?

Me: Write what genuinely creeps you out. If you’re scared, they’ll be scared. For me and my brother, it was always the Stephen King version of ‘IT’ that did the job. No one does horror quite like SK.

Alternatively, if you are interested in a good read, you can head on over and buy my debut novella. It has some horror to it, and is the first of many of my books. It would be so great to get some support!
