Throwback to an incredible conversation I had last year with @CristobalMusic for @soundonsoundmag
Read the interview here: soundonsound.com/people/cris…
He was very generous with his time and with stories from a life spent shaping sound. One of my all-time favourite interviews!

I just learned the professional way to say "I told you so":
"This was identified early on as a likely outcome."

Someone else said:
“Art Nouveau is when it looks made by elves.
Art Deco is when it looks made by dwarves.”
And after looking into it, I think they’re a genius and 100% correct.

Somebody posted this insane Spotify playlist of every track on: Now 1 - 114 (1983 - 2023) Now That's What I Call Music 1 - 114 spotify.link/KyKMUhaazMb
And it’s like a lifetime of cultural archaeology. I might listen to all 228 hours of it.
Currently reliving my university years.

I am BEGGING my romantasy loving mutuals to watch "My Lady Jane" -- it's the most fun I've had watching a TV show in YEARS. Just a wild, fantastic romp!! And SO SWOON-WORTHY. A masterclass in romantic tension & payoff. I am absolutely besotted. 😍
My first piece for MusicTech - the talented pianist/composer Nahre Sol on her experiments with sampling
“There’s a lot you can do to add expression to music without touch: by using effects, and shaping the sound; you have even more freedom to make it more expressive. As I was learning that, I was also adjusting the ways that I played the piano. ” musictech.com/features/inter…

We once lived in a world where Ella Fitzgerald and Karen Carpenter sang together.

Bring back movies where the conceit is "a disparate group of weirdo kids have a crazy night that has stakes, but not world ending stakes" a la Goonies, Adventures in Babysitting, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, and Honey I Shrunk the Kids.

Writers, I need you to know that when you write “his voice went up several octaves in surprise” you are describing a shift from normal speech to a barely-audible, Mariah Carey-esque shriek

Just another day of film composers gracing the cover of GQ, very cool to see and an interesting read
Presenting the next #GQCreativityAwards cover stars: Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross
Best friends and Nine Inch Nails band members, Reznor and Ross found creative fulfillment by rethinking what they had to offer. Now they’re thinking even bigger.

Last January, I noticed something peculiar in my 2yo’s bedroom that - after a year of obsessive reporting - led me to a profound cosmic revelation about what’s even possible in our universe. A 🧵.

Deep dive into designing a studio, pandemic challenges, hiding cables, and the role of sound in our everyday lives. Loved it!
