Detritus 36

> OK – I have become a serious multi-tasker as of late… Day times I am 2 weeks away from starting predubs on this film I’ve been on for the last month or two, evenings & weekends I am solely focused on Hiss and a Roar… Yes, I know I’ve delayed the launch date twice now, I just did it again but this time I am serious: either this Wednesday I am drinking tequila to celebrate the launch or you all are because I haven’t – it will be my shout! Other stuff on this week: recording a $200k Lexus hybrid car (anyone else done this? experiences/advice? I imagine its silky quiet i.e. hard to record in an urban environment) plus shifter kart recording session 5, plus a diesel 4WD SUV onboard, an 80s Alfa car horn, a boy racer EVO passby and a whole bunch of more mundane stuff….

 

> My new hobby? Metadata evolution (epic blog post on that sometime in the near future) and information trapping

 

>Love these synth cakes

>I’d be grabbing a copy of these stems of Bob Marley (& others) before they disappear back into the ether

 

> Eno doco – part 1/4 – go to youtube to see the other 3 parts

 

> Twin Peaks still marks the summit of TV soundtracks

 

> Q&A with the author of a book on Vocoders

 

> Such a beautiful music video for such a beautiful song…. prepare to shed a tear

 

> re copyright & format shifting, this is an interesting discussion vis a viz Ethics vs The Law?

 

> Added a bunch of new links to the sidebar eg SimonSound and In Pursuit of Silence and Audio Pleasures and Acoustic Light and Sound & Motion

 

> Some great advice for ADR

 

> Military grade post apocalyptic boomboxes?

 

> Interplanetary gamelan?

 

> Re earlier post about working for free/deferred: this weekend I saw what I strongly suspect is the best film to be made in New Zealand this year. Self funded, shot & edited with cast & crew on deferrals, and a seriously beautiful work of art. Had it been funded with 2-5 million and suffered a ‘typical’ development path, I doubt it would be the work of genius that it is. Just goes to show, there really aren’t any rules: every project must be considered on its own merits.

 

> I love this because it sounds like nothing the band are playing….

 

> new Synaesthesia coming in mere minutes…. hang on….

 

> Late addition: AVID buys Euphonix! The ramifications of that deal are very complex…

    Btw, thanks for the link to the blog :) That Acoustic Light blog is a good read too :)
