what, do you expect us to have synesthesia op? how about you put that feeling music gives you into words, describe the look you visualise and work from there

Dark and atmospheric? Well you could underexpose, drop the highlights and white level, and then raise the blacks. Look up matte and haze tutorials.

Avoid really harsh lighting like the sun at morning or evening. You could theoretically work with it but just as a general guideline. Dim lights are also good but remember you can always lower the exposure in post, don't end up giving yourself unusable shadows.

Wide aperture to soften the image and isolate the subject. Maybe some motion blur from a slow shutter would help it feel atmospheric and disconnected from reality.

In post, you can add some moody colours with split toning and such, and adding grain and then blurring it (if you're using the grain slider in lightroom or photoshop's camera raw (import or filter, same thing) it'll blur the image after adding grain for you when you adjust size and roughness) with the grain to soften it can help.

You got any photos you attempted for this project?

Freelensing. It's when you disconnect your lens and only hold it up to the body. Gets dreamy real quick and you can introduce some odd blur.

Dim fairly empty dingy room with nothing on the walls, but stuff sitting on the floor. Shitty small bed with just a mattress, with the sheets fucked up on it. bottles and plates piled up at the base of the walls, a lamp on the floor real dim. Hard wood floors that look shitty and worn out, dirty plaster walls, person sitting in a really shitty old wooden chair with one single big soft but dim light, lots of dark gray tones. Consider filling the room with a thin layer of smoke/fog to give the light some glow to it and lower the overall contrast even more. Person dressed in muted colors and worn old clothing, in a pose that expresses weight of life and exhaustion and hopelessness.

>what filters should I use
Don't do that.

Can't help you much, but I commend your taste in music. Burial is outstanding.
