Hi all, Klas suggested to watch "Barton Fink" for that fishtank/outside world effect. I've already seen this film perhaps a year ago and i loved it to pieces....
Hi, Arnoud! I think your director is probably at least a little sincere when he says he wants you to "go your way" with the sound. Lots of directors say...
Hi Randy, Thanks for the advice. I am well aware of your point and have been there before myself. I find myself in the position of being well acquainted with...

Hello, Diego. I actually prefer a combination of the two. I think you can get some great atmospheric tracks from electronic while still adding in wonderful...
it's unquestionable that electronic music expands the limits of sound design. personally, i fully support the use of digital technology. but, never losing...

No preferences at all. The final decision will be up to the director, but use what you feel is appropriate. Many movie scores today use a combination of both...
Hi Diego I think that it's not really the source of the sound - in this case the musical sound - that's important, it's how you use it. Really as soon as you...

I think that making a distinction between electronic and acoustic based music in film soundtracks is something of a diversion. It's not really the imortant...

Hi Diego, Perhaps, think more about the audio-visual association that the audience will make with regard to tension / humour etc. you might want to express...
I disagree just slightly. The medium can be an important part of the message. But first you have to have a good idea of what the message is. ... -- *Don...
Hello, In regard to "electronic music being "based" on acoustic", maybe at first with Pierre Schaffer's notions of la objects de sonore, being that individual ...
... In film soundtracks in general, I agree -- whatever best serves the need. But in a single specific soundtrack it can be very important, depending on how...
Hi Dr Don It's great to have some disagreement, even if it's only slightly! It will always be thought provoking. The medium in film is I guess pretty...

Ew, that pic tastes funny! The phenomenon of different senses crossing over (hearing colors, seeing odors) is called Synesthesia. Try looking it up... Also,...
One of my standard questions for directors is what colors they think of in a a scene. They are not nec. the colors on the screen. I don't think there is a...
