echoecho

i always have as much echo on my guitar as possible

reverb, analog, digital, looping; they all really do the job of getting yourself to sound about 10 million times bigger than you are.

but the final question comes down, what is the best for the job out there?

tap tempo?
tape delay?
analog vs. digital?
eq?
anywhere from 40 millisecond to 21 second delays....


there is a lot to look at, and you really need to look at what you need for the context. everything has it's place

pan's perfection

what would be an optimal film for this venture?

subtitled or silent (nothing american and long scripted)
adult themes (a film that has some sort of turmoil that is more epic than normal day - to - day drama)
psychedelic visuals (something entertaining for the eyes to match the music)

pan's labyrinth seems to fit all of these

so why am i questioning it as a film?

dark crystal

upon re-watching, this movie has a lot going for it
pro:
~little to no music
~epic story
~visually stunning

cons:
~childish
~a large amount of inaction
~a lot of script

very compelling.

dwindle

the list is starting to be eliminated

 seven samurai (so long)

 2001 (i cannot improve)

 eternal sunshine of the spotless mind (too much dialogue)

 dark crystal (dialogue again)

 night of the living dead (not as good as i thought)

 all quiet on the western front (too much war)

 pi (almost perfect, willing to reconsider)

Masterwork

Today is the begining of my masterwork.

I have been thinking long and hard about what I need to do as a musician if I want to break into the field of music in some way. While there are many options for me to look through, there is one concept that had been tossed around in my head endlessly. The idea of redoing a movie soundtrack

I want to construct a whole new sound for some movie that will be a rebirthing movement.

Some sort of reinterpretation.

Something to spend a year of work on. Every minute detail. Show what I am really capable of.


So now what movie?
