info on City Takes A Breath:
In the future, I picture a city that is so hyper
accelerated that it will
at times need to--literally--take a breath, almost like
a living organism would
need to do so. It could be thought of, in computer
terms, almost like a quick
reboot to cleanse the system. This short piece is the
sound of that city
of the future taking one quick breath.

And while I'm posting online, I thought I'd take this
opportunity to express my profound shock and disgust at
the soundtrack used for the new Matrix movie. Juno
Reactor? Oakenfold? Oakenfold remixing Dave Matthews?
Geez. I thought this was a movie about technology,
future, possibilities, etc. Jason Bentley managed to
put together a soundtrack that ranks up there with
Mortal Kombat's in the bad-factor, IMO. I left the
theatre thinking about how Blade Runner continues to be
unmatched when it comes to future dystopias *and*
marvelling at how Vangelis' score to Blade Runner
continues to be timeless and futuristic after 15+
years. Here's to hoping that Madonna either gives up
her association with Jason Bentley (the SDTK is
released on Maverick, which at least would explain the
Oakenfold connection; Don Davis scored again, but
Bentley is the one we can "thank" for the rest) or that
Bentley works a bit harder on coming up with something
futuristic. Again, I say: Juno Reactor? Dave
Matthews? Urgh. End of rant. Andrew
