Sadly some don’t really encounter other people’s feelings until they get to Freshman Lit. Can one build a soul out of that? Maybe it’s a place to start.

Someone who really needed that Freshman Lit class to help her think this one through.

A couple years ago, the streaming site told me I listened to this album 56 times that year. Convinced me just to buy a fresh copy and pull the plug on those bozos. Happiness!

Loop Finding Jazz Records by Jan Jelnek
A landmark ambient / glitch album - dark moody and simply beautiful.
Hearing this record really made me see the potential of sound and technology and music hasn't quite been the same since.

Daniel Lopatin pointed out a track that he was obsessed with — Oval’s Do While— which in 1995 did a similar technique on Mark Isham’s Many Chinas. Using exacto knives, tape, paint—etc, they damaged compact discs and recorded the skips and glitches - then stitching it back into loops. 24:04 flies by

Reminds me a bit of that Red Bull Academy clip of Four Tet hammering on his mouse button to make the play head skip back.
Kids are going to figure out the real use.

In an interesting moment of the Daniel Lopatin Workshop today, he recalled not having any idea how to do the glitch granular he was going for on Sunset Corp, so he read somewhere that loading an .exe into a sound editor and playing it back as an audio file might be the ticket.

Marc Laidlaw is updating the cover-art realtime — every sale is another line on the grid. I’m #4. Great way to market some synth jams.

I thought Spinotti might have — until I was poking around on letterboxes.
Heat is absolutely lovely looking. Have not watched the remaster, hope they didn’t mess it up.

David Mullen, ASC thinks that they just baked the look in on set, Rec709. Which in these early days a unique disaster —especially if things don’t go well.
Overall, the look is only one of 10 major things wrong with it.

I’d have to look, but I think he really did. Michael Mann was already deep into shooting digitally with lipstick cameras on Ali, the very digital Collateral, and Miami Vice (all with other cinematographers). From what I heard there we problems with the exposure on PE and it really couldn’t be fixed.

Ooof. Crowenweth’s dad shot Blade Runner, and he shot half of the Fincher films. Spinotti’s career was on fire until he totally goofed up Public Enemies (I was at the color house when they were trying to fix it— bad scene).
10x more talented than Ratner, and just as desperate. Nice last act.

Had a chance to play with one on Sunday. It’s a wonderful little machine. Designed for exploration. Limited in a good way. Wood blocks, rocks, magnets, fingers… everything sounded interesting.

Tonight Laura Dern recalled sitting in the back of the theater at Telluride when Blue Velvet premiered. At the 30 minute mark after 1/4 of the theater had left, Lynch squeezed her arm and said,
“See, we really made them feel something.”

If it was your only thing and you had no fx, you’d be a bit perplexed. It’s an odd thing, but 4 outs for each oscillator ?!?!

I was paying particular attention this time around to the moments when a character notices another character in another universe, or travels the hallway and doorway to reach one. I think the Poland world is the base world, and the product of Nikki’s work is what is able to reach her and save her.
