Spectrogram art. What do you think this sounds like?

Spectrogram art. What do you think this sounds like?
This is my thought process on audio as well.
yeah when people are like "what were the writers THINKING" they were probably thinking 'oh god we've been asked to redo this four separate times, half the staff has been cut, the project is over-budget so we need to wrap up this character's storyline in thirty seconds of in-game time'
Narrative is a glass cannon. It can be powerful and yield huge results, but it's fragile. The more hits it takes, the harder it is for it to be effective.
When I play a game that I don't think has very strong writing, I don't think "these writers are bad", I wonder what they were up against.

In addition to making sounds and some music for the game, Impossible Acoustic did all the post audio on all the included documentary content. It was pretty cool to get to work with footage from the BBC Blue Earth archives.

This is a sound effects only mix of our work on Ian Hubert's latest masterpiece. Apparently he drove this car using a game controller and then built the city around the path he took. Similarly we made a synth patch with drivable and automatable controls.

Is this at all funny? I think it is but my humor doesn't always translate.
Any other ideas for a caption?
The context is that this is from a recording session for my new sound effects library -> shorturl.at/cfPu9

1998!? That's one year after I graduated from high school. That explains a lot. I'm happy my kids are growing up in a very different world from the one I grew up in.

I roll this factoid out at least twice a month. It continually blows my mind. Also, did you know that when the first Star Wars movie came out there were half as many people in the world as there are now?

I was watching "Woman Of The Hour" on Netflix last night and this scene jumped out at me. Not because it's especially unique, but because it's a good example of using sign posting to emphasize a transition in sound.

I mostly post about sound and work I've done so this seemed as good a place to start as any.
