    Basically I use track automation in Logic,- not "Region Midi" for your spitfire and crow hill products. The other thing with non motorised faders: you have no feedback, so often the values jump in post-processing.... in this case I love to use my faderfox EC4 with just endless encoders but perfect feedback from the DAW in the display...

    You shlepped all the way to the top of the hill and didn't take picnic blankets or any instruments to have an al fresco Solstice jam? Surely that's gotta be a thing for next year?! And a new Vaults instrument: Solstice Sounds of Crow Hill. If there aren't any midges up there, I might even come up from sunny Yorkshire to improve your female ratio in 2025, LOL!

    I hope that this covers Audio Tactile Synesthesia, something that I’ve been cognizant of for about 30 years. It’s not something that happens every moment of the day and it’s not always pleasant. There are certain kinds of sounds that encourage it and I can probably thank Plastikman, RDJ for first bringing it to my attention

    I’ve had my Terra for months and only after your questioning the three “bracelets” did I figure out what they were for. Only a few seconds before the light bulb went off for you. I had put them away and forgotten about them. The percussive sounds you used in your track, though, sound like they could have been accomplished with their Pulsar-23. I enjoyed the video! It’s fun (and inspiring) to see how others use the Terra.

    Being someone with Aphantasia and audio-aphantasia I experience some things in the opposite direction. I see no images, have no visual memory nor hear music when not being played, nor do I have any voices in my head. However I feel music very strongly and as a composer-producer I don't feel at all that this is a disability. I draw, paint and make music and write stories. Words and music are very important in my life. So there were many parts of this video that resonated with me. Thank you for such a non-judgmental, curiosity driven set of interviews. I have friends with Synaesthsesia, and often trade descriptions of our different experiences to music. I love the underground map - visiting London is going to be a totally different experience from now on. I want to find and visit Spangles.

    I don't understand how the stuff that isn't live, that's coming out of Studio One, remains synced. Is the drummer taking the click from the DAW and making sure he's rock solid with his tempo? Or, is Studio One somehow adjusting its tempo live from the drummer and fluctuating so it remains in time with the live musicians? How are songs started, does the drummer count them in and the person on Studio One duty has to ensure they hit play on exactly the right beat for it all to unfold as they planned?

    Like quite a lot of composers, I'm autistic but I'd always put the colour and taste connection down to autism alone. How wrong was I. Age 51 and still in my infancy at learning. Interestingly, If I'm feeling happy, I write bleak music which to me 'looks' like vibrant flowers colours. Brilliant film, thank you. Going to deep dive into research on this

    I’ve been a gigging musician and Music Director for 35 years. It’s amazing what we currently use to run a show compared to 30 years ago. I’ve embraced the tech and use a digital console, time code, stems on a Mac, virtual instruments/guitar cabs, in-ear monitoring, etc. The stage is way cleaner and the sound is better for the musicians AND the guests.

    I used to wish we had smellivision and tastevision... but not on KZread or titkok... yikes! We'd cut off our noses. Wait... could that be why the grey aliens don't have noses? Or is it because noses are hard to sketch, but either way, it's probably good that we never developed smellivision. I knew a guy at Oberlin who would see shapes and colors together in relation to music - like bright yellow triangles or violet stars, and so on. It seemed to be timbre and dynamics and harmonic relationships and melodic trajectories, whatever you want to call that aspect of the music (its "vibe"?🤣 IDK) that informed which shapes and colors would appear. At least, that's what seemed to make sense to me, at the time, from how he described it. But it could have been the absolute pitches, I guess, and I misinterpreted the situation. He called it synesthesia, and I'd heard that term before... so, that was a pretty normal and established phenomenon, under that label, at least for a while before that point. I think you can match your music's color, or try to add to or change the meaning via color, or even subvert it. I think most people who don't have some form of synesthesia still have musical color associations thanks to Hollywood tropes, and even musical genre tropes, such as associating synthwave colors with analog polysynth chords. If synesthesia is some sort of spectrum, then in order to identify it, you'd have to be able to tease apart the mild cases from those culturally induced associations. Or maybe it IS some combination of an active imagination with learned associations, and some other factors, that come together for that sort of perception to emerge? Have fun with it!

    My first experience of this was back in the 60s at school. When at the music lesson the teacher played the Planets Suite by Holst. Every piece became a colour and texture. And after a Lifetime of writing and playing music. They all invoke colours for me. I even set out with a colour first to describe an aural tone.

    If the notes have colors, what happens with a chord? Does it work logically, like the colors combine like mixing paint? Or does each chord have an arbitrary color, or do they experience each color simultaneously?

  • @govcorpwatch
    @govcorpwatch4 күн бұрын

    There are two types, one is sensing the color, the other is actually seeing the color. And yes, they are each seen simultaneously. So a chord does actually produce multiple colors, and don't mix. Each color is not mixed. Though it may be different for others. I'm saying this based on Mary Bichner's experience.
