But WHY is Portal 2's Music so Great?
Is that the case?Dan Bruno has an idea, and it uses sound editor Walter Murch's theory of the "aural spectrum". According to this spectrum, speech (which is "encoded" sound) lies at one end, the "violet end", with music (which is "embodied", in other words, raw sound) at the other end. The "red" end.
Lying between those two are sound effects, which are both "embodied" in that they're raw sound, but also "encoded" in that they require an understanding of what they're representing for us to understand them. They're "yellow". That's the simple version; for the full thing, you can read it in detail here .
Anyway, Bruno's idea, and I like where he's going with this, is that Portal 2 already has an "interactive soundtrack" of sorts, with music changing in tempo depending on what you're doing, and you can see where this all comes together.
You can hear examples for yourself at the link below, the best probably being the "floaty high-pitched arpeggio" you hear when bounding off a jump pad.
The Sound Of Music Soundtrack - News
Most will agree that it's a wonderful soundtrack, perfect to accompany the on-screen action, but just why is that the case? Dan Bruno has an idea, and it uses sound editor Walter Murch's theory of the "aural spectrum". According to this spectrum,
The producer of that film's soundtrack, his long-time friend T-Bone Burnett, also produced the new album. Bridges wrote two of the album's 10 tracks himself. He appeared to be having fun on stage, at one point treating the crowd to a funny anecdote
When you think of it that way, it does begin to sound a little backwards. But the real question is whether or not Tau Day will catch on the way that Pi Day has. Pi Day is huge on the interwebs. It's only in its infancy as a celebration,
It's tight that people can do that to my music." Big Sean's sound is reminiscent of a younger "College Dropout" version of Kanye West -- this is music for the thinking hip-hop aficionado, but not so pretentious that it won't appeal to the
In all fairness, as much as I love high quality sound for music I don't find myself worrying about it as much with movies. Of course 1080p is something that a lot of people would want. More and more people have the bandwidth for it at home,
You Know Your Childhood Is Over When… « Thought Catalog
Your parents sell your trampoline. No more hot July days spent jumping for hours with the hose on full blast and the sprinkler spraying up from underneath; no more “accidentally” falling into the safety net and desperately trying to rip it down while making it look like a mistake, just so you don’t have to be the kids with the safety net on their trampoline; no more attempted backflips followed by your mom’s voice blasting out of the kitchen window telling you “No flips or you’ll get kicked off the trampoline.” No more.
Your dad calls you to tell you that your childhood best friend’s father is going to prison for fifteen years for corporate fraud.
The birthday cards you receive from your family no longer feature your favorite Disney character or stupid-funny jokes about being a kid. They’re stiff, letterpress and made from 100% recycled wood pulp. I mean, that’s great..but where’s Aladdin?
Waiters give you weird looks when you order a grilled cheese at restaurants. Lunds cashiers give you the same look when your basket is full of Tyson chicken nuggets, frozen crinkle cut French fries and Sour Punch Straws.
The day comes when you get your braces off. You get to skip the first three periods of the day. You lay back and watch E.T. on mute while the Italian woman in charge of busting the little fuckers off your teeth works away. Your mom buys you a Caribou cooler on the way to school. You remember what cold feels like on your teeth. You make a dramatic entrance into your seventh grade math class fifteen minutes late. Everyone looks up from their tests as you make your way to your desk. What’s up bitches, I’m a man now. See my teeth?
You aren’t scared of your neighbor’s Halloween decorations anymore. That skeleton is fake, no matter what your friend’s older brother tells you. There’s no way your neighbors used to kill cable guys dispatched to their house.
You get really concerned about how your handwriting looks. Maybe this was just me, but there was a day in sixth grade when all of a sudden I realized I need to get my penmanship shit together.
“Penis,” “sex,” “gay” and “blowjob” are words that enter daily conversation with your peers. “Vagina” is no longer mispronounced as “pachina” or whatever the fuck girls used to call it in second grade.
