Subject:: [idm] Requiem For A Dream Sound Design

A couple of people have mentioned Aronofsky's Requiem For A Dream to chase up. As well as the Kronos Quartet/Clint Mansell music (which is extremely effective in setting up a sense of inexorable movement (ie fate) throughout the film toward _that_ ending) the sound designer for the film was none other than Ken Ishii. You can hear his affinity with mangling and sequencing sounds all over the film. If anyone is interested I've talked further about this in a lecture/presentation I have in written form on my website (in the Opinions section) entitled "The Physical Reality of the Crossfader and Its Influence on Film Sound" Ishii's branching out from solo music production over the last five or so years has been really exciting; check out imdb.com for some of his other film work, or Rez, the PS2 game (that is really hard to find here!)

Has anyone hear the Trurl and Klapacius (Cristian Vogel) cd? I was curious what it's like. TRURL AND KLAPACIUS - Sing Sweet Software! [SUPREMAT] CD "Trurl and Klapacius are robots. In Stanislav Lem's Cyberiad mid-60?s novel, they?re busy flying around the universe building machines. Each machine they build makes up a chapter from this visionary book. Cristian Vogel was reading these stories while celebrating his hobby in the studio: recording the variation of modules of modular systems he programmed himself -- modulating each other for periods of time. The result is music that does not evolve, it?s varying. Borrowing the names of Lem?s robots in reference to his own automated studio work, the Vogel experiment turned into a project when he picked his favourite musical modules -- computers and their software -- and let them go to work on their own. In his own eyes, he?s not the composer of the work so much as the executive producer. The computer itself rather -- the software within -- wrote the music: Vogel?s contributions filtered and edited the final outcomes. This parallel to Cyberiad?s Trurl And Klapacius sidelines and highlights the Supremat philosophy: Machines constructing machines; machines creating music that?s constantly varied and reinventing itself." __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

haven't heard it, but i must say that it sounds very interesting... being a big fan of both stanislaw lem and c. vogel, this even more intruiges me... i especially would like to recommend lem's cyberiad. it is not only a good read and very amusing, but also a very philosophical book, without ever forcing a thought or an opinion on anybody. my 2 cents, hidari
