This is one of my recent experiments in extending music into the realm of non-musical sounds — like angry people's voices and skateboard wheels — and trying to use them to create extra layers in the arrangement. Finding passing sounds for your music is almost like scoring a moving image — only on a different level. Just like certain harmonies and modalities fit certain characters and scenes in a movie, there are very specific types of sounds that are appropriate for specific melodic figures and progressions.

And if you find them, and process them, and strip them of the unnecessary parts, and put them exactly where they belong in your theme — you may end up with a whole new understory that complements the piece and adds a new dimension to it. And after you're done with this part, you can go ahead and add a visual, effectively leaving the three-dimensional world.
