NoDS

[Philippe Cordier]

Something about the music in NODS put me off track from the DS universe and the gothic atmosphere was the harmonica. To me that's such a folksy instrument, and I know it was big with folk music in the '70s. But to me it doesn't go with "Dark Shadows" and gave the movie a much different atmosphere from the show and also HODS. I didn't necessarily like the additions to the music in HODS, but the harmonica in NODS changed things too much for me.

I feel that the harmonica is an effective tool that Cobert uses to demonstrate the difference between the "normal" and the "abnormal."  Tracy and Quentin are two very typical folks from some typical American upbringing.  When they come to Collinwood, they are faced with the abnormal and the Gothic - all represented by the vibes and strings.
