Re: [microsound] Formative microsound experiences?
TRON is amazing on all levels. probably my favourite film.
what's interesting in terms of sound within the computer world is the
use (or rather, lack of) reverb. they really thought out the
imaginary acoustics of a place that 'sounds' but has no medium to
travel through, or at least not any kind of conventional medium. lots
of short delays and flanging modulation effects on the foot steps and
whatnot...

I primarily make dark ambient, I think it's an attempt to recreate
that
feeling of suspense and foreboding I loved in horror movies as a
kid. Again,
I've always favored the sound over the visuals in cinema. A
significant
formative experience for me was when I fully acknowledged that it
wasn't
what was happening on the screen alone which was causing me dread,
but the
slow, gradual, droning crescendo of music which made me about to
jump out of
my skin.

...tell me to close my eyes, and then he'd put on a record called
'Celestial Seasonings' or 'Celestial Seasons' (must write to him
and ask
exactly what it was) - electroacoustic music from the 70s/early
80s -
