Mood music for your listening pleasure!

Gilbert and I had a chance to meet yesterday and the result of our talk was a lot of possible music choices. Below is a list of songs we felt were in the running. I can make a CD of most of these if anyone would like. A lot of them are available on iTunes as well. Bear in mind that none of these are final. Think of them as sketches -- things with lyrical or musical tones that are in the same atmosphere of the show. There is also no order to this list.

Also, I had an odd idea that I wanted to run by the group. This idea would only work if it were somehow integrated with other design elements. Instead of using scene transition music in the ordinary, presentational manner, I wondered if it might be more interesting to have it coming from somewhere off in the distance, like it was coming from another room, another room where the next story was living perhaps. Thoughts?

There was several others that I can share with you off list. These were the stronger options.
