Contrapuntal Music is either diegetic or non-diegetic music, which creates an opposite meaning to the actual action on screen. On of the best examples for the use of contrapuntal music in thrillers is the torture and ear eating scene in "Reservoir Dogs" ...
as well as the "singing in the rain" scene from "ClockworkOrange":
A happy mudded music playing with nearly sadistic violence on screen creates this kind of funny, but also perverse atmosphere, which makes you feel a little bit sick.
Because we want to create the same atmosphere on screen of this guy as killing and cooking people the same way as drinking a cup of tea in the evening, we are also going to use contrapuntal music.
We looked up different songs and finally found the title of the German TV-show "Löwenzahn", which is exactly the kind of music we want for our thriller. Because of copyright we are not aloud to use this song, but we're already looking around to find a music producer
