Thinking about soundtracks

IDEA 1

I really like the idea of creating an animation along to music, after all music is one of Murakami's greatest passions - running a Jazz bar called Peter cat before he became an author, and making constant mentions of artists from the Beatles to Mozart in his novels. 

IDEA 2 

To use sound effects to describe the movement and content of my animation - waves, creaking ect. 

OR 

To use sound effects that are appropriate to the tone and movement of my animations but are mismatched with the content - e.g. a ticking clock is replaced with the sound of someone running.

I think playing around with real sounds, as I have spoken about before, really suits the theme I have been exploring in relation to Murakami's work  - otherworldliness and reality mixing and contrasting in his novels. Therefore I think my third idea would be the most relevant to progress further, as well as it being the more novel and interesting.
