Sound Is Art-Gilligan →
audiokayness:
Wow … from the link:
Sound Clip: Gilligan by Rick Scott

sampleism:
Bedroom Producers Blog has just published a great interview with me all about Sampleism, the fantastic developers we have on the site and our ambitions. You can read it here.
Please forgive the uncomfortable self-promotion, but I figure some of the sound sculptors and beat makers out there may be interested in this interview with my business partner, Glyn, covering the concept,...

SYNAESTHESIA - Rachmaninov prelude in c sharp minor - Alessio Nanni (by Alessio Nanni)
Kandinsky once said: “Color is the keyboard, the eyes are the harmonies, the soul is the piano with many strings. The artist is the hand that plays, touching one key or another, to cause vibrations in the soul”. The concept that color and musical harmony are linked has a long history, intriguing...

What Makes Beatmaking Unique, and Why Its Given... →
…
And while most traditional musicians will likely never study (or survey) the art of beatmaking or use any of its principles and nuances, most beatmakers routinely incorporate elements, principles, and processes of other music forms and traditions outside of hip hop/rap. In fact, for beatmakers, no music form is forbidden territory; wherever we find inspiration, we use the styles, techniques,...

The defaults don't work all the time.
iamyoursoundtech:
Especially if you are making art.
Tweak and your wish of making something people will like will be granted. Spend lots and lots of time playing with knobs and settings. You’ll be surprised what comes out of fooling around with some piece of equipment.
Make it so it is your sound.
Oh, hell yes!
There’s a whole cosmos of amazing, unexpected, and gratifying places to...

i’d so give it a try, though.

World's quietest room, a Guinness record. →
A typical quiet room you sleep in at night measures about 30 decibels. A normal conversation is about 60 decibels. This room has been measured at -9 decibels.
Orfield Labs uses the room to test products, including switches that go on car dashboards and the sound an LED display makes on a cell phone to make sure they’re not too loud.
Anechoic chambers are really weird and cool.

jennilee:
glad to know there is a name for “that feeling”
Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) is a physical sensation characterized by a pleasurable tingling that typically begins in the head and scalp, and often moves down the spine and through the limbs.
Most ASMR episodes begin by an external or internal trigger, and are so divided for classification.Type A episodes are elicited by...
