If you like space sounds and tape stuff you definitely have to check out Pauline Oliveros. She did it all before it was cool.

Just watched this the other day! I wasn't too impressed by it as a kid - I was more into Star Wars at that point (born 1970 so just the right age?) but grew to love Star Trek later - Wrath of Khan and The Voyage Home (IV) are probably my favorites - I love Next Generation too, just not that into DS9 or Voyager, kind of enjoyed Enterprise, and did like the first Abrams film - there was a comic book tie-in where Picard and Data were helping Spock as lead up to what happened in the film. But that's not why I'm writing...
Thanks for the information on the "blaster beam" - I immediately thought of "The Beam" that was used first in the Apocalypse Now soundtrack by Mickey Hart of the Grateful Dead - he still uses it today during the Drums segment - I've heard it, it's loud! It can be ambient or intense. Here's an article about it:
All About the Beam Baby!
I actually have a little bit of footage from one time I saw it - it doesn't capture the majesty and deep bass but I'll leave it here for posterity:
He would also wear a "Drone Not Drones" t-shirt around that time:
And while searching for that pic, found this article on drones that seems appropriate for this space:
A Brief History of Drone
OK I'm done!
I just found out about this from Gino Robair's Facebook post. As I wrote there, "I met Malcolm Cecil back in 1987 when one of my first gigs as a recently-moved-to-NYC audio engineer was moderating a forum for a local AES chapter that he and Darcy Proper were panelists for. He was such an engaging and generous personality!"
At the time his business cards still identified him as "TONTO"
RIP
btw, notice how I crammed three shameless name-droppings in one sentence? I am incorrigible!
There's always the Motograter
(a few decent/clear clips in the compilation. check around 2:45)
Agreed.
A simple:
"SIR! Put the Credit-Card DOWN, and STEP AWAY from the Credit-Card" ...
... would suffice in Canada.
Vive la difference.
Y’a, things are pretty chill here.
And if it’s:
Vive la différence!!
You’re likely gonna be in the Province of Quebec.
The rest of the country is pretty much Anglophone.

Sure, but the Canuck Anglophones like to throw in snippets of French they learned in grade 6 — it's all easy idioms and cereal-box bilingualism...
Sorry I forgot the l'accent aigu, UB.

Amazing. I have a feeling this crew will enjoy it.
I used to hit all the animation festivals, haven't seen a Plimpton in ages. Thanks for that.
