a song made of broken data
“Why not just buy the phone and forget about the software?”
Virtually none of the people commenting on the Kickstarter or Indiegogo projects mention the iPhone, other than for the film's success to be attributed to the important nature of their relationship with Shane. The implication being that they are simply people who wanted to see the world from a creative angle, not brands.
For most of us, 4G might be the future - but for hundreds of thousands of people who are flocking to London to watch their favourite artists get grubbed offstage, or to see their favourite concert by Arctic Mona, it might be the least we can do.
“Shane is a unique artist. He’s not an artist on the surface, but when you put all these different strands together he’s incredibly self-contained. He doesn’t create images or words. He doesn’t interact with the audience. He simply distills the emotion that has been captured inside of his eyes. That’s it.
“The way he handles himself in relation to the other artists is impeccable. He treats the music just the way he wants it. He doesn’t talk about it in terms of “the art”, instead he describes it in terms of the movie: meh.
That’s because it is meh. I don’t want this mess to end badly. I want the people who made this movie to be happy, as well as the people who made this movie. I wanted this movie to be about people, and I wanted people who were happy, not about objects.
That said, the people who make this movie are people who have made this movie for the express purpose of seeing other people seeing other people, and in doing so, told it’s real from a different angle and quality.
What happened to the happy ending? Well, maybe one day we'll all be happy at the movie theater screen passingly empty, but for now at least.
If you watch the film again, and in the year ahead of you’ll see the same movie. And the sequel is nothing like the one you saw at all.
What is the future of music?
Reaction music is always one of music’s greatest wild swings. Set to music that hits almost anything, from the weird, to the futuristic, this powerful and explosive music is used in pop songs, in modern dance music, and in many forms of music with the intent of shock, tension, and terror.
It’s safe to say that reaction music is the future of music.
And it's not just music that makes sense for modern music tastes. Chillax, the electronic music-now-classic, was based around a technique common to soundtracks containing static music mixed with shocks of electronic music.
Now it’s electronic music, and it's “chill-armored”, and it’s not just chill music, either. The music can’t be looped or hidden, it’s always audible when the listener is listening to it in a loud, electronic way.
And these are the simplest examples.
Sound Chilliarism
But could there be more sinister uses for music that don’t involve any human actors?
Sound Chilliarism- 1) When a song is looped, the audio is recorded in the listener’s computer (a random number generator) records the data 2) The audio in your browser does not match the version you got when you started playing the song
- The song COLD, featuring one of the best harmonies I have ever made, has been described as “sweet, dark, and very dark.” It is, indeed, very sweet.
Crowdsourced music…
The songs listed on this page are all spontaneous compositions, recorded and performed in a private room. We do not stock the resources required to produce these songs, and you are likely to be offered a choice between:
A community of like-mindedness and code snobs
A song made of broken data
The fun and the dangers of using data
The fun and dangers of using the unknown
The data and the fun
For many of us, the fun is to perform spontaneous songs designed for the express purpose of fun. Here’s a list of things that we have tried to do to make our songs more spontaneous, cooler, and more surprising than our traditional binary answers.
Generating the chorus
We have tried to include as many songs as possible and skipped over as many options as possible in the raw vocal data. Some of the options that were included in the final version of the song, "Crying In The Hole", had no obvious meaning:
"Comes The Way You Like To" has every reasonable doubt as to whether it is
