The Volunteer Labor Behind DesigningSound.org

To those reading this in the U.S., Happy Labor Day! To those elsewhere, happy Monday. Coming from the UK where we have generic "bank holidays", I've still been getting to grasp with the many varied holidays celebrated here in the United States. Today is one such day, Labor Day.

Sunday Sound Thought 7 – Time Travel

Sunday Sound Thought 7 – Time Travel

As the year continues, many of these posts will be philosophical in nature. Some will be in contradiction to previous postings. These are not intended as truths or assertions, they’re merely thoughts…ideas. Think of this as stream of consciousness over a wide span… No sound is perceived at its moment of inception.

Time And Psychoacoustics

Time And Psychoacoustics

When designing audio we are often thinking of time across a large variety of units: samples, milliseconds, frames, minutes, hours and more. This article is inspired by a conversation I had with Andy Farnell about a year ago at a pub in Edinburgh, right before a sound design symposium, where we discussed about time and the role it plays when it comes to designing audio.

A Little Overdue Thank You

July 2, 2013 by Shaun Farley

I've been a bit remiss in my duty lately, and there are several people who need to be thanked for their contributions on the site. To begin, let me thank two gentlemen who contributed in May: Randy Thom - for his thoughts on "Time" as both an element in sound design, and a work-flow issue Jeremy Peirson - for taking the time to discuss his work on the film Looper … [Read more...]

The Sound of Looper – Interview with Jeremy Peirson

I contacted Jeremy Peirson, the sound designer for Looper (2012), to talk about his role in the best received time travel movie in a very long time. What follows is a transcription of our phone conversation. Enjoy! DS: For our theme on the site this month we're talking about "time," and I though it would be interesting to talk about Looper (2012) as a time travel movie and … [Read more...]
