Sunday Sound Thought #95: Fear is the Mind Killer

November 11, 2017 by Jack Menhorn

Sunday Sound Thought #95: Fear is the Mind Killer

As Brad mentioned in his introduction to this months theme: fear is an emotion we must face daily. Deadlines, workloads, project managers, tedious tasks, and especially cutting footsteps are all points of emotional friction dealt with by many of us to some degree or another. There is also a more intangible yet just as insidious form of fear we have to control: the fear of the … [Read more...]

Sunday Sound Thought #78 – Minimalism

Sunday Sound Thought #75 – Transcend to the Physical

As much as I hate the word: I am a millennial. I have mostly grown up in the digital age; just old enough to remember beepers, dial-up modems, and cassettes. Professionally I have grown up solely in a digital medium "in-the-box" of computers, digital audio workstations, and VST's. Therefore: the concept of spending more money for less flexibility has always seemed a bit at odds … [Read more...]

Monthly Theme: Sound Installations and Theme Park Experiences

  Sound installations and other sorts of entertainment/educational experiences that involve sound could be quite challenging and rewarding. Projecting sound in a physical space with physical props/objects/nontraditional means rather than through a regular TV or theatre is a different sort of fascinating beast.

Sunday Sound Thought #67 -What is a Mistake?

Randy Thom recently posted on his own blog his thoughts on "mistakes" which are more thoughtful and eloquent than my own. So go read his and come back for the dime store version. This monthly theme of "Mistakes" got me thinking. Mistakes to me can be a negative outcome to an intended or an unintended action. Something called a "dictionary" says mistakes can be "an action or … [Read more...]
