Phat City! Thank all the gods that be for samplers.
Makes you realise how uncreative so much of the formulaic drivel that's produced these days really is. Delia Derbyshire (phwoor) was a true genius of electronic composing, along with so many others. Yet how strange they couldn't adapt to the new technologies (Moogs/Arps/etc). What does it matter where the raw source of a tone comes from? Tape, digital, who cares? -- as long as you find the sound you're after, or better still find something accidentally that's better than the sound you were looking for.
I often hear precious little twats blithering on about creating new forms of music and they're not a patch on what has been and gone.
Dr Who vs (another) rap/pop/american brat rock/etc. It's a bit like art vs business. We've got all this fabulous technology at our disposal these days, and yet so few really bother to use it creatively or even really listen to what they're making.
Where did incidental noises go? Why are there so few of us pursuing and developing this style? I suppose I'm revealing myself to be an old fart, but my aspiration was (and is) to create a distinctive sound. The young whipper-snappers of today seem to treat music as a sort of sew-on badge: defining themselves by their choice of predetermined formula. I sound like [insert current pop sensation here] so I'm in with the in crowd! You don't sound like anything in the charts, so you must be crap.
I wonder what that zimmer-frame would sound like an octave lower and backwards?

I had an idea for a script once. It's basically Jaws except when the guys in the boat are going after Jaws, they look around and there's an even bigger Jaws. The guys have to team up with Jaws to get Bigger Jaws.... I call it... Big Jaws!!!

K: Easier said than done! How do I find film makers needing sounds/music? I suppose I could set up a website for musicians, call it Techdance maybe, or perhaps my birthdate?
