Haha... I like that 'and feel good about yourself' twist 😂. This forum, at its best (which, hey, often tends to be in the 'non music' threads 😁) is such a great example of what can happen when people cooperate together without too much ego, great work folks!
Very much agreed.
+1 typo is not really necessary
Haha, that’s me! I’ve always irrationally hated Jackson Pollock’s “art” … but, surprise, I like ambient music AND I think your cover art submission is awesome. Yet another vote for it. Win! 😂
We'll make you a fan of random sploshes of paint yet, then! 😂
I love the Eraserhead industrial ST mayhem too. I harbor a special affection, because back in 1987 or so my gf who DJd at a local college radio station made me a mix tape with a bunch of songs interspersed and overlayed with the Eraserhead soundtrack.
A particular standout -- she put Patsy Clines "I Fall to Pieces" over a segment of Eraserhead sounds, and the phrase "I fall to pieces" was perfectly punctuated with what sounded like buildings creaking and then collapsing. It synced brilliantly, like they say Wizrd of Oz/Dark Side of the Moon pairings do. Wish I still had that tape. And that girl too? Yeah, probably....

That actually sounds fantastic haha.
I saw Eraserhead for the first time at 1 am on HBO or IFC. Probably 15 years or more ago. I was in my late teens and it blew my mind wide open. It really showed me that film can be so much more than what I thought it was at the time. Lynch has become my biggest inspiration since then.
I do love Tobe Hooper as well though. Texas Chainsaw 1 and 2 are excellent, though for different reasons lol
up to 10 tracks now!
It was fantastic. I have half a mind to try and recreate the Cline/Lynch mashup. Shouldn't be too hard to figure out where the sync point is. (Famous last words.)
I was huge into horror when pretty young (think Hammer Horror, famous monsters of filmland, Sci-Fi), and don't think I ever got around to seeing any of the Tobe Hooper TCM films (mea culpa.) I think when I eventually had the opportunity, they looked overly sadistic, although I understand they're more atmospheric than bloody. I have little taste for A Serbian Film or Hostel (x) or Human Centipede or anything that's torture porny in nature. Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer was draining and brutal.
I do love some Lynch: Mulholland Drive is a favorite movie, and the Llorendo (sp?) performance in the theater is haunting and memorable.
Also: I'm going to put in a good word for the soundtrack to the original The Wicker Man, mostly because I love the song over the opening credits, and some of the other songs are good for a chuckle... and the films is awesome, IMO. (Remake is a travesty.)
And Begotten: now there's a soundtrack.

Begotten! Now there’s a movie 😂 soundtrack is certainly unique as well.
I don’t like torture porn unless there’s substance behind it. I think Hostel is a good movie but I absolutely hated A Serbian Film. It just seemed like it was trying to be edgy and cool just for the sake of it.
I’m a big horror fan as you can tell lol but I definitely do recommend the 2 Hooper TCM movies. More atmospheric for sure but so amazing especially for its time.
Loved Mulholland Drive, saw it in the cinema! The Wicker Man is such a treat (yes, the original not the remake 😂). Midsommar is another good one that clearly owes a massive amount to The Wicker Man, and Hereditary by the same director is maybe even better.
I love all of Lynch’s movies to some degree. Dune a little less so but everything else is top tier. Eraserhead and Inland Empire are my personal favorites (outside of Twin Peaks).
Midsommar is fantastic! I actually prefer it to Hereditary. I haven’t seen Asters newest (Beau is Afraid) yet but I’m planning on watching it within the next 2/3 weeks. I’ve been avoiding any conversation about it to keep it spoiler free because I’ve heard it’s kinda insane.
Oh wow, didn’t know he had a new one out!
Yep and it’s over 3 hours 😂 so I really gotta set aside time for it.
It looks to be more horror/comedy and way less depressing and miserable than the other 2. But apparently it’s pretty sad for comedy so who knows lol
Yo. 5 days left y’all! If you haven’t submitted, then that’s how long you have!! Why not submit someth8ng? Whaddya have to lose!?
Bit of a spanner in the works… MSF won’t allow us to put their name on the album page as there are tax issues with linking donations directly to sales of a project.
I suggest we just say all proceeds will go to an international charity which provides essential medical care to people most in need
Or something like that.
They said we can mention them by name if we share the project via social media, but not on the actual website.
Here’s the email they sent me:
Hi Daniel,
I hope that you’re well? Thank you for your enquiry and for considering supporting MSF through the sales of your album. You might already be aware, but MSF relies on private donations in order to maintain our independence, which is what allows us to treat people based on need and irrespective of race, religion, gender or political affiliation.
There are a number of laws in the UK relating to companies raising money for charity, where funds donated relate to the sales of goods and services, and when the company publicly promotes this contribution. In this scenario, a company is defined as a Commercial Participator under the Charities Act and is required to have a contract with the charity that they are raising funds for. You can read a little more about this here: https://www.fundraisingregulator.org.uk/code/working-with-others/professional-fundraisers-commercial-participators-and-partners
These types of partnerships have tax and VAT implications, and come with additional reporting obligations for both the organisation raising funds and the charity. We have template agreements for these types of partnerships, and would be very happy to work with you to put this in place. Do let me know if this would be of interest?
Alternatively, you are very welcome to share the great news of your support via social media, for example, as long as this does not state that the donation is related to the sale of goods and services. We would kindly ask that unless we have a written agreement in place, that you do not share on your website that you are supporting MSF.
That’s understandable I suppose. I agree with your above suggestion.
@sevenape Sent you a 'sound design'👀 contribution. I used AudioShare/MailDrop😱 for the first time I think, let me know if you don't receive it. 😊
Not recieved sorry
Alright, no it's unsent I see now and the iPad mail app wont work ... weird. Sent via desktop and an Dropbox link instead. Hopefully more effective
Perfect thanks all working now!!
QUESTION:
Should I make the album Pay What You Want? Or stick it at 5 dollars or something?
personally I think PWYW
PWYW is probably the way to go - especially if any proceeds will go to a charity. Then people can choose what they want to donate (or not, as the case may be).
I’m keen to contribute something. Am a fan of Tobe Hooper’s TCM sounds, Riz Ortolani, the Goblin/Argento shit….however, I’m horrified ( ) by this sentence:
Target the loudness level of your master at -14 dB integrated LUFS and keep it below -1 dB TP (True Peak) max. This is best for the lossy formats we use (Ogg/Vorbis and AAC) and will ensure no extra distortion is introduced in the transcoding process
Would someone be able to help me with this?
To be honest I just checked the recording level in aum and made sure it was around -14 or -12 ish. I think you can also normalize your song in audio share or koala if you feel it’s too quiet.
But I literally know nothing about mastering. As long as it isn’t red I’m happy. And sometimes when it is red I’m happy too
Ok cool, cheers Dan! Will send soon
At the risk of talking about something I’m hazy on at best (and that’s an overstatement!), try the free Youlean loudness meter - you don’t need the in-app purchase. I am no expert on this, and had trouble myself. Anyone with more of a clue, please chip in!
Play your track through it, and it will give you the integrated LUFS (which is kind of average loudness) and true peak (the loudest it gets). You can then adjust the volume, eg load the track in a DAW and raise it or lower it and then export again. You can mess about with compression or whatever if you want to - I gave up after a while, because as usual with my stuff compression just messed up the sound. With respect to distortion when they convert formats, I think the true peak is the key - as long as it’s below that figure it should be OK.
Ace, just downloaded it. Will have a play around. Thanks @bygjohn - appreciate you taking the time to explain
The TCM soundtracks are among my favorites!
Also as @bygjohn said, YouLean is fantastic. It’s become essential for me. There’s also BFM which is cheaper than the IAP for YouLean if you decide you want more.
Cool, cheers for the tip
