    How about Zoe Keating? She’s a beautiful cellist who uses a Mac computer and foot pedal to make one cello sound like a full orchestra. It’s very unique and astounding actually and I think it’s dark themes could fit the mood for your project. Zoe has actually done some scoring in the past so it seems fit.

    Check out her ‘One Cello x 16 – Natoma’ album.
    It even has some war themes in the music.

    Track List:
    Legions (WAR)**
    Fern**
    Tetrishead**
    Sun Will Set**
    We Insist**
    Legions (Reverie)**
    Frozen Angels**
    Legions (Aftermath)**

    ** = Strongly recommended for this project.

    Something upbeat to remember the beginning of the nuclear era…maybe…..some zeppelin, or some metal…….

    A Japanese band called Dir en Grey did a song called, Hotarubi that is about the bombings of Hiroshima. Its a very soft, haunting song that would work great.

    The song is in Japanese-but here are the English lyrics-

    First they only droped one bomb on hiroshima
    the other one was droped over nagasaki
    A good song would be the song god bless america
    to show how we over came the odds and stoped the japanese war machine from terrorizeing the pacific
