Will you be using more background music this season? Season 10 was odd because so many scenes were too quite. Mark Snow's music helped make the original run of the series so creepy and added so much suspense.
ChrisCarterXFilesS] 12 points 40 minutes ago I think you'll find that we've got some interesting songs including a version of a David Duchovny song.
Story about Mark Snow...
Mark would send me stuff and I would say, "not quite, not quite. Here's what I want...there's a song called 'How Soon Is Now' on a Smith's record. I love the guitars on that song. Something like this!"So he sends me back the X-Files theme and I said, "this is great!". What he took from that song is not the guitars at all. He took the whistle at the end.
That's where the X-Files whistle comes from. I said I always wanted it to be something the boy scouts can whistle around the campfire.
