👉 "Instrumentation macabre" is a term that humorously describes the peculiar, morbidly artistic use of instruments to create an unsettling or macabre atmosphere. It's like when a mad scientist decides to build a musical instrument out of a zombie's skull and a bottle of whiskey, just to see if they can play "Waltz for Debby."
Here's a chilling example sentence: "The creepy old jazz band decided to put the ghost of Chuckie on their new synth instrument, resulting in a haunting melody that would make the undead swoon."
