I FOUND THE PERFECT JAZZ APOCALYPSE SOUNDTRACK

A jazz band gets stuck in a musical college building during a zombie contagion. What happens next will warm your heart...

(a soundtrack for a fake movie you never knew you wanted. a heartfelt action-packed parody piece, set to your favourite tunes, that answers the questions you've always asked yourself:

can a human be decapitated if you throw a cymbal at them?

is it better to bar doors with brass or woodwind?

what is that banjo doing here anyway?)

[LISTEN @ 8TRACKS]

Tracklist and possible scenes connected to the music so far:

I thought I'd write it up so we'll all have a list of characters for this (still developing) thing

Conductor - well, a conductor. Your classic jazz snob. Energetic middle-aged bro who thinks he's always right, especially when music is concerned. You know the type. They're out there. At some point gets hit on the head by a cowbell (that just happened to be flying by), forgets everyone's name, starts calling everyone by their instrument.

Trumpet - Conductor's estranged daughter (inspired a lot by Emma Stone's character in Birdman tbh). Gets into the orchestra by basically threatening her dad to raise hell if he doesn't let her in. Is actually good, but is already talked about as that person who pulled strings to get a place.

Drums - left the band a while ago to be in a rock band (because they were supposed to be popular and, like, get chicks. they're not popular.). Is called in urgently because Core Drums slipped on some brass player's spit between rehearsals and broke his wrist. Keeps regretting that throughout the whole story.

The Saxophone Hydra - a three-headed monster consisting of three saxophone players who are only friends with other sax players. First Sax is the jock of the band, Second Sax is a girl who's a better musician than First Sax, but doesn't get acknowledged and secretly hates first Sax. Third Sax is just some dude constantly asking questions to keep up with the conversation.

Banjo - a girl who escaped from the folk section when the contagion began. Hangs out with Trumpet and Drums, because isn't considered to be a cool musician by the cool jazz kids.

Violin - a dude from the folk band who hates the folk band, because he wanted to be in the symphonic and play ~serious music~ but blew his chance. Basically the opposite of Drums.

Piano - a background guy, worshipping Conductor and, by that alone, pissing Trumpet off. Is, in fact, a very nice person who just needs to check their priorities.

Clarinet - local stoner. We don't know. Enjoys mythology and stuff. Keeps nagging everyone to try the "Pied Piper Method" (c)
