why?
because thats how Astroboy is supposed to sound!
because I was sentient when it was first released!
(& it still sounds as fresh, altho i’d love to hear a dubstep mix of it)
because maybe you may not have heard it?
because I watched a film last night that used half that piano line
(i filled in the rest, in my head & it was the better for it!)
because I was convinced it was by Coldcut (its actually by Hexstatic)
then I remembered my favourite Coldcut video – it was this one:
And that video reminded me of watching the film Microcomos at the NZ Film Festival a few years ago & the audience literally cheering after a dung beetle finally made it to the top of a small mound of dirt with a small ball of dung – YEAH!!!!!!! & I also have to say FULL CREDIT where due, to the foley team on both Microcomos & Winged Migration, both fantastic films, but equally both films that rightfully credited foley alongside composer…. if you havent seen them both, then time you should:
Microcosmos (foley artist – Jérôme Lévy)
Winged Migration (foley artist – Laurent Lévy)
Awe inspiring work!
