Choosing music tracks.

[_larky]

Not sure where to post this...

Anyway, Magnum in Motion style vids showcasing 10-ish shots, accompanied by music and text. I'm going to do a couple, I'm really struggling with the choice of music. My shots are all street, and whilst I'm not working on any specific projects currently they tend to end up being grouped into candid portrait, wide street scenes, dogs, water etc. Have any of you done this, how did you choose your music?

I'm planning to do such interactive slideshow, photos augmented with short video clips. I've already chosen music. I'll go for slow ambient tracks that do overpower the mood of the slideshow. I listen to music a few hours a day and since recently started making mental notes on which tracks might sound good with a slideshow.

This requires a different sort of creativity. Tried it and had no success.

Pick music that you like. Bear in mind that it's easier to adjust the images to work with the music than the other way round.
