“What is noise to the old order is harmony to the new.”-Jacques Attali, Noise
Yes, we have all heard it all before. Sometimes.
Here are some resources I use for hearing and listening:
last.fm–just a great way to listen to music in a community
freesound project–post and listen to everything from fx to beats. hi-res and well documented.
odeo–Record! Listen! Share! why not?
broadcast electronics–make your life a broadcasting radio station
audacity–yes, you probably already have this, but be sure to download its export as mp3 library as well as its vst plugin library. Sure, it’s not perfect, but it’s free!
the hype machine–music blog aggregator. just music, but a lot of it.
free sound effects library–ok, 9/10 you get what you pay for, but for the desperate, this can cover your ass for a temp. edit.
opsound–just a great fking resource for tagged music. Just got back from the Palais du Tokio, and they love these guys. I thought it was lame at first, but then i poked around, and there are some gems.
ok, more soon…and feel free to comment (ahem) if u think this is garbage or interesting.
