Now I'm looking into NYU's sound design program at the age of... ugh... 23.

What specific program are you looking at? I pretty much took every sound class NYU was offering from tisch film to drama to interactive telecommunications, to steinhardt music tech to other stuff slipping my mind....

[weidna]

after months of work i was finally triumphant in achieving consensual penetration with one of my ex-squeeze's best friends last night. unfortunately, i hadn't red rover'd anyone's vag canyon in over a month and was ill prepared for rampant nerve stimulation all on my peepee. i probably executed release after only a few minutes and i'm already dreading the possible reputation ruiners she might be passing around to anyone she has come in contact with over the past 8 hours.

hopefully she will get around to discussing my offsides penalty with her buddy that i was originally on an enter/exit basis with...things usually went quite favorably and extensively while performing rhythmic pelvis thrust maneuvers on her bed/roomate's couch.

i've never watched a complete porno in one sitting.

[mellowbonsai]

now that i'm back in the tall ship business i have this overwhelming urge to deck myself out in j crew, sperry, band of outsiders, trovata and patrick ervell

[mellowbonsai]

i dont know though

theres a thin but important line between personal sailing-yacht prep and schooner deckhand sailor steez, its a state of mind and your place in the chain of command

i couldnt do 80's west coast skater even though robert geller made it very appealing, and i love the new m83 album

theres a pair of really light weight rag and bone jawns at detour, gonna cop when my first paycheck comes around

too much pbr and cheap cigarettes lately, my hands are rough from sandpaper and my kicking mules reek of spar varnish...

How was sound design? That's actually the direction that Barry Truax pointed me in. I have some friends that might move to british columbia. I was thinking about going along with them and going to simon fraser but if not, maybe nyu as he casually suggested in an email.

i love the new m83 album

me too, it's just so good.

oh, and I went to a mad gay party tonight (a sort of gay birthday). I had a mad gay gift there:

I now imagine you as either this:

in boat shoes;

or this:

that was a great Jil collection...very underrated and i liked it better than any S/S collection Raf's done since he came on board.

hopefully the latter.

[seksu!]

im sick

sigh

[mellowbonsai]

you need aspirin and emergen-c!

not quite what i was thinking geekbonchic

this was me last year (i was a bit heavier), so you probably missed this waywt

but that is the sort of thing i imagine when i say deckhand steez (a relatively unexplored territory)

[fade to black2]

eh sorry mellow dont think that look is workin for you...i think you look better in more straightforward, no-frills stylings, based on the waywts ive seen from you

[geekbonchic]

I think it'd be pretty alright if you had some A.P.C. t-shirts or shit from J Crew. Also, be a man and make your own sailor's bracelet.

[mellowbonsai]

i definitely RAAAAAGED when i saw turk's heads being sold at j crew for $10 a piece, buy some seine twine and make one y'self innit, sailors can tell

they never have anything on sale but i always love thumbing through their catalogues, great shoes

theres an outlet between mke and chi where shits decently priced, not forty goddamned bucks for a grosgrain belt. great place to pick up corny white chicks though. i was turnin strawberry blonde heads in my american indian movement tee

I think I need to clarify my question. Sound design is a concept that sort of means a lot of different things depending on who you're asking and in what context. And there's no program at nyu where you're exactly majoring in a topic that they call "sound design".

[dismalfuture]

mellow, start collecting Noah, and grab a couple Saint James tops.

I'm doing something similar, laying hardwood floor in my house and wearing the dry deminz and feeling pseudo blue collar fabulous.

[cinderella]

I burped and it tasted like pesto.

confession: it made me hungry...

[keagan]

im not in detroit

[landho]

After six weeks of not buying any clothes, I've been on a tear lately. Maybe I should post in the recent purchases thread.

if you're into that blue collar fabulous you should get that Yohji light blue piece dyed ramie shirt from this season and a pair of those indigo threadbare patchwork baggy twill pants. stealthbeast X Stephen Chow in CJ7 right there....

I remember the whole deckhand thing, but woah @ teh mutton chops.

I didn't realize people still had them.

Oh I know that. Will PM as not to clog thread + I have questionnnns...

i like the phrase 'sound design' though...i've always wanted to learn how to play the piano and go back and study music theory so i can understand chords and what not, and start making instrumentals. Even if they never get used for songs or anything, i like the idea of adding another creative outlet to my skills. one regret i have is not taking music theory class seriously enough back in high school...

this is unlucky, hopefully she'll give you a second chance.

lol @ vag canyon.

The wunderbar thing about "sound design" is that it doesn't necessarily apply to film. The other wunderbar thing is that you don't need traditional theory but can still easily apply it. Like korp said, it's broad but the only way to make a living is to apply it to multimedia.

Sound design, as a stand-alone practice of music (if you want to go by the Varese definition and simply call that organized sound) is a non-traditional form based on the absolute sound event (Earlier non-serial Stockhausen/Tietchens), texture, contrast, and pure sound aesthetic. A more pretentious knob than even I might just say "we call that sound art", because the "design" part often refers to visual accompaniment. Because I hate to call people artists, I don't usually do so, and call it sound design because that's what it is. Sound design.

I've actually been teaching myself basic piano, but I rarely ever use traditional theory, though I respect it immensely. I try not to delve too deep into it so that I don't start reacting against it. Everybody can do this stuff. It's about detail and taste. If you're interested, pick up a SM57 and a decent condenser mic, some basic software, an inexpensive audio interface, a HARDWARE synth (it doesn't have to be analog but that really helps, no matter what people might say. you'll want to route your mics through it) and/or some modules (for the same reason) and just fuck around. Oh, and never use MIDI. Don't you dare.

i admire those who can construct layered melodies with drums, synths etc just from their 'sound instinct'...i imagine this is how most hip hop producers get by. i occasionally can start thinking up some kind of music in my head but would have no idea how to translate those sounds into something tangible once i am facing an actual music making program. It's this lack of technical insight that's always bothered me, but like you said it may just be an experience/practice thing more than anything.

not familiar with any of that sound design terminology or concepts, might go look it up...i just liked the phrase because it reminded me of phil spector's "wall of sound".

Were you ever any good at additive sculpture?

[jayrock]

jeep -- maybe you should do an internship or just hang out at some places to see what you really enjoy doing? there's no reason to jump into a [expensive] sound program prematurely if you aren't even sure if you would like it. to be honest, a degree is usually just an excuse to get your foot in the door. i never studied audio at all, but i am currently learning how to edit hd video in 5.1 surround at work...

i have no idea what that is
