I'll see your two cents, and raise you... It's clear from many discussions on the Sound Article list (e.g. the very active one a little while ago on the use of...
And The Day the Earth Stood Still - both use theremins a lot... IMDB: Bernard Herrmann .... orchestrator (uncredited) Paul Shure .... musician: theremin...
Sidelight - after looking up Theremin I discovered this film, which might help in the space sounds research: Theremin: An Electronic Odyssey (1994) ...
I'd recommend "Alien" over "Aliens". To me, it's a much richer 'text' sound-wise. There's a great scene of relative silence when one of the characters is...
Those are good points Steve. I've joined the sounddesigneducators list and am enjoying the discussion so far. Looking forward to more. I'm just wondering how...
One thing you can do is have the posts sent to your email as individual messages. Then you can use your email client to filter them into a folder. Both lists...
... It is very interesting film. It contains some very fun intrigue (that may, with time, be discovered to be false) and a big error by Brian Wilson (in the...
... There are two theremins used together on TDTESS to great effect. Well worth renting the dvd, and the fact that this is an anti-war pro-alien cold war film...
Thanks. so I asked, Theremin? Tannerin? What's the difference? and found this: http://www.tompolk.com/Tannerin/Tannerin.html I never knew... <L> Lou Judson •...
Hi Elektra, I guess you have to check David Lynch's use of ambient sounds: he replaces them with drones, making many scenes become strange. He makes us to...
Thank you to everyone for the wise and informed responses. I will definitely purchase a copy of "Sound Design - The Expressive Power of Music, Voice, and...
Dear Lori, Yes, I agree; the more alternatives for listservers and forums, the more confusing it gets. The idea of sharing resources is yours so if you like we...
Hi Kenneth, Uncle Bobs favorite "soap box" issue! It's all well and good to discuss sound prior to the shoot, but it is all for naught if you do not retain a ...
I couldn't agree more Uncle Bob. It's the technology myth - that it can all be cleaned up in the mix, or that the sound editor/mixer/sound ...

Just to pipe in here, I have a deep interest in film sound, though I do all kinds of sound *except* film professionally. In the 80s I worked on a number of...
It's nice to hear people talk about the importance of location sound. We have so many books on audio post, Pro Tools "bibles", Final Cut Pro educational texts,...
We run what could be described as a film-sound module that is suited to directors and encourages an overall greater comprehension of the role of sound and its...

In the game world in America, sound is often a last minute thought. Far more often than not, it is poorly planned if at all. Also, the supply of sound people...
I hope this is not too tangential a reply - but I would like to pick up one Sally's points - of being taught to have a conciousness of sound. I'm based in the...
try THX 1138? ... It is very interesting film. It contains some very fun intrigue (that may, with time, be discovered to be false) and a big error by Brian ...
I think Sally makes great points. Too many institutions that attempt to teach film sound production/post production fall into one of two categories. They...
Excellent post, Ricardo. Don't feel bad abolut the previous post - people repond in a context and it isn't personal. I was even surprised to see so much...
Hi Ricardo I think that all the jobs in filmmaking are important and that it is a team sport. So the fact that you are a production mixer makes no difference...

Hi, Elizabeth- If some puts a version of this list in a file where everyone can get at it, I don't mind cleaning it up. But for now, I suggest people who want...
