the first two were about physical limitations in film/image making and why artists were constraining themselves to those constraints long after the constraints were no longer there
the 3rd was more of an economic vierwpoint on film and “value” of captured art in general
4th was an exploration of moral values in film via the innate deception of image capture
overall the obsession is representing reality
david toop’s sinister resonance set the tone for most of these papers tbh
can’t stress enough how fun it is to read this book, it will send your music nerd synapses into over drive and into so many lovely rabbit holes of exploration
art happens in the mind not the exterior!
i cant understand ya mate u speaking propa english m8? this man talks like victorian or sumfink init
I recommend reading some actual Victorian English, or 1800s American English stuff. The eloquence conveys far more meaning than casual speech/writing nowadays. It’s not at all as convoluted as it first appears to be.
nah man only thing i read is text messages or the lufs metre you know what im sayin
I have a few David Toop books. They’re good.
I think I had Sinister Resonance on my wish list. Someone on Amazon cloud, maybe Amazon themselves left the .pdf wide open, so I just downloaded that.
When I used to work the skips in Abergele sum posh bloke came with fancy magazine bout big glass tha go on big telescope , 30 feet, 60 foot lenses
Who’s having a go
Prolly DeGrasse Tyson or some other nerd.
My friend has started a plugin company. So far he’s released this one for free, it’s a MIDI note filter that can do some cool stuff. Proper PC Music aesthetic.
mate as if, dont be racist
but siri’ously
cyc’s quacking off about physical limitations in medium not being surpassed and im talking big ass lenses sumfin Id thought youd be into now ur talking youtube space jargon wit?
basically, I worked at a recycling plant.,ppl recycked many things, a dude recycling photo magazines like camera shit, worked close by at a place that were making big ass lenses ye
you think a lens is X what yoiu gonna see with that ay?
Prolly space, if you put it in a telescope.
I’m more of a SETI guy myself.
space is 5 letters,m im sure theyd need more than that
just need a large piece of sand to turn into a giant lens
Canon EF 1200mm f/5.6L USM Lens Review.
Why such a long lead time? For one reason, it takes nearly a year to grow fluorite crystals large enough to be ground and polished for use in this lens. In addition, the lens is “virtually hand-made”.
if i prefer music with mids scooped out do i have hearing damage? ive been trying to add more mids to my music but i dont like it. tonal balance for example
Just means you love bass more, whoch is the sign of truhed-ness imo
Impossible to say. Might be that your monitoring situation is “bad”, or any number of other reasons.
Was thinking this. Poor mid definition makes ppl wanna scoop out, but imhe that’s usually not an issue w the signal so much as the playback format. Cans are notorious for it; the diaphragm is too small to meaningfully reproduce everything actually going on there so it just sounds like mud.
Chances are if you look at a tune you think is well mixed it’s gonna have a shockingly high amount of data present in the mids, more so than you’d think, and that’s not just because the mastering “fixed” it.
@Sac Would also recommend doing spectral analysis to understand frequency details in general, at every step.
Of the small handful of things that’ve helped my mixes become slightly less shitty over the years, looking at spectral data has been a big one for understanding what’s really going on in a sound.
