help me come up with a title...

wailingmiserere	Date: April 19, 2007 @ 10:38 PM ... for a weird electronic piece of 'music' that I'm currently finishing! It's university coursework which I have to hand in, in a matter of hours. Can't think of a title for it at all. It's basically 'sound art' created from a recording of a friend of mine reading a section from the novel Lanark by Alasdair Gray. In the section being read, it describes how the main character arrives in the afterlife, which turns out to be a bleak and perpetually dark version of the city he previously lived in. He comes to consciousness in a moving train, with no memory of his previous existence and no idea of where he is. The piece is quite dark and moody, in keeping with the subject matter of the novel. Lots of spooky metallic noises and such like. I could probably just call it 'Lanark,' if all else fails, but that's a bit uninspired. If anyone could come up with a clever title, I'd be immensely grateful...
Israfel	Date: April 19, 2007 @ 10:42 PM Call it... "Wherever You Go, There You Are" or "HIStory Repeats Itself" or "Life's Total Negative" or "Epiphany" or... okay I'm all out of ideas.

blacklieder	Date: April 19, 2007 @ 11:47 PM Hmmm. Sounds like "Dark City" Ever see that film? Or how about Disappointing Heaven? What if, like time, heaven was a man made construct? It would be close to perfect, sort of like Disneyland, but if you lift away the layers you'd see the flaws...
ChillinBuzz	Date: April 19, 2007 @ 11:51 PM Dark City - great film, blacklieder one of my faves "Journey To The Edge Of Darkness" "Next Stop: Afterlife" probably too late but "End Of The Line" would be cool.
evansorchid	Date: April 20, 2007 @ 12:37 AM The book sounds really interesting. I'll have to see if I can find it. This is probably too late for your assignment, but one phrase that popped into my head was...'photo-negative eternity'???
wailingmiserere	Date: April 20, 2007 @ 12:58 AM Thanks for the ideas, still trying to decide... Yeah, it's an amazing novel, one of the most mind-blowingly weird things I have ever read. Alasdair Gray is an artist too and he did all these amazing drawings to accompany the novel, I can highly recommend it. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lanark-Life-Books-Canongate-Classics/dp/1841951838/ref=sr_1_1/203-9562416-7759121?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1177044902&sr=8-1
bigfootofget...	Date: April 20, 2007 @ 2:47 AM Probably too late but "Bleak Heaven" That one just came into my head
zedsalt	Date: April 20, 2007 @ 10:12 AM "Waking on a Train" is a cool metaphor and might make a good title...
