Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:01:23,333 --> 00:01:25,375
That's what we want.
2
00:01:25,375 --> 00:01:27,833
Can you take in
like a non-instrument
3
00:01:27,833 --> 00:01:31,083
and create like
nice-sounding things out of it?
4
00:01:46,583 --> 00:01:48,083
I would consider that playing.
5
00:01:48,083 --> 00:01:49,250
Yeah,
I mean making an ugly sound
6
00:01:49,250 --> 00:01:50,583
is still playing it.
7
00:01:50,583 --> 00:01:53,042
What I'm doing with these things
that are not instruments
8
00:01:53,042 --> 00:01:55,125
are what you would do
with something
9
00:01:55,125 --> 00:01:57,208
that is
not originally an instrument,
10
00:01:57,208 --> 00:01:58,542
but may become an instrument.
11
00:02:09,458 --> 00:02:13,292
So I'm thinking, "Can I actually
create a new instrument
12
00:02:13,292 --> 00:02:15,292
out of some
of these crazy sounds?"
13
00:02:20,792 --> 00:02:22,708
I think we'll be able to come up with a pretty cool-sounding
14
00:02:22,708 --> 00:02:26,333
synth or s-- or like a layer
of sound in the bottom
15
00:02:26,333 --> 00:02:28,333
that'll carry
a lot of the film really nicely.
16
00:02:36,292 --> 00:02:38,083
Come here, son of a bitch!
17
00:02:38,083 --> 00:02:41,000
I'll fucking
cut your fuckin' neck off!
18
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,500
I'll fuckin' kill you!
19
00:02:46,917 --> 00:02:49,958
So Timebox is a-- a short film
and I'm doing the music for it,
20
00:02:49,958 --> 00:02:51,000
if you can call it "music".
21
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,083
We'll see what-- what comes out
at the other side
22
00:02:53,083 --> 00:02:54,583
uh, because it's pretty
experimental.
23
00:02:54,583 --> 00:02:57,000
So Timebox for me,
when I watched it uh,
24
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:02,458
it really is uh, it-- it is--
it is-- it's disturbing.
25
00:03:02,458 --> 00:03:04,458
I mean it's definitely
it's a disturbing film.
26
00:03:04,458 --> 00:03:05,833
Yeah.
27
00:03:05,833 --> 00:03:07,333
Because I think it you know,
28
00:03:07,333 --> 00:03:10,292
it-- it shows you
really terrible things,
29
00:03:10,292 --> 00:03:11,958
but it makes you think about--
30
00:03:11,958 --> 00:03:14,875
What will a person do given a certain circumstance, you know?
31
00:03:14,875 --> 00:03:19,167
What are the most uh, brutal,
animalistic kind of ways
32
00:03:19,167 --> 00:03:20,500
of acting, you know?
33
00:03:20,500 --> 00:03:22,208
Like if you were given
a certain possibility you know,
34
00:03:22,208 --> 00:03:23,583
would you hunt another person?
35
00:03:29,583 --> 00:03:31,833
Well, that's fuckin' terrifying.
36
00:03:38,083 --> 00:03:40,208
With Timebox , so instead of approaching it
37
00:03:40,208 --> 00:03:43,417
in musical themes
or writing melodies
38
00:03:43,417 --> 00:03:46,500
uh, I thought that it would be
much more interesting
39
00:03:46,500 --> 00:03:49,708
to create motifs
that came out of things
40
00:03:49,708 --> 00:03:52,500
that were as ugly as the ideas
that were presented
41
00:03:52,500 --> 00:03:54,167
by the film itself.
42
00:03:54,167 --> 00:03:57,583
Just collecting some uh,
some power tools
43
00:03:57,583 --> 00:04:00,292
for some power tool madness.
44
00:04:00,292 --> 00:04:01,625
Alright, let's see
what else we can find
45
00:04:01,625 --> 00:04:03,750
that might be of interest here.
46
00:04:08,958 --> 00:04:10,250
So how do you find that thing?
47
00:04:10,250 --> 00:04:12,083
I mean, for me, I thought
"What's ug--
48
00:04:12,083 --> 00:04:13,083
what are ugly sounds?
49
00:04:13,083 --> 00:04:14,750
What--
what could make ugly sounds?"
50
00:04:14,750 --> 00:04:16,750
That's really the genesis
of the whole thing.
51
00:04:16,750 --> 00:04:19,917
So you know, scraping metal,
power tool.
52
00:04:26,417 --> 00:04:27,792
Um, playing instruments in ways
53
00:04:27,792 --> 00:04:29,750
they are not meant to be played
necessarily.
54
00:04:40,875 --> 00:04:43,292
Bowing metal uh, we're bowing a piano,
55
00:04:43,292 --> 00:04:45,042
we're gonna hit things.
56
00:04:50,750 --> 00:04:53,083
Um,
we're gonna abuse instruments
57
00:04:53,083 --> 00:04:54,375
in all sorts of ways.
58
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,292
Uh, nice.
59
00:04:58,292 --> 00:04:59,125
Hammer drill.
60
00:04:59,125 --> 00:05:00,500
Why not?
61
00:05:03,667 --> 00:05:05,958
Alright, so I think
the first thing we're gonna try
62
00:05:05,958 --> 00:05:08,750
is get some cool resonances
out of some metal pieces
63
00:05:08,750 --> 00:05:14,292
by using a violin bow here,
which is nice and rosined up,
64
00:05:14,292 --> 00:05:16,458
and I'm gonna rosin it
a bit more here
65
00:05:16,458 --> 00:05:17,792
just so it really sticks
66
00:05:17,792 --> 00:05:22,083
when it rides across
the surface of the metal.
67
00:05:22,083 --> 00:05:26,333
So what happens basically is um,
as you drag this bow
68
00:05:26,333 --> 00:05:28,333
across the surface
of the metal--
69
00:05:28,333 --> 00:05:29,500
Yeah.
70
00:05:29,500 --> 00:05:31,792
You're gonna get vibrations
starting to happen
71
00:05:31,792 --> 00:05:34,167
as it sort of skips
across the surface
72
00:05:34,167 --> 00:05:37,000
and then sometimes you get some
really cool effects that way.
73
00:05:44,292 --> 00:05:46,000
- Alright, that sounds cool.
- Yeah.
74
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,750
So let's uh, I'm gonna try
and capture that.
75
00:05:54,458 --> 00:06:00,167
So this is um, metal box bowed, take 1.
76
00:06:04,042 --> 00:06:06,708
I'm using theories of how-- why things resonate,
77
00:06:06,708 --> 00:06:09,542
I'm using theories
of why things make sound.
78
00:06:09,542 --> 00:06:12,042
So you know, if you take a bow,
like a violin bow
79
00:06:12,042 --> 00:06:15,250
and you rub it across the edge
of a metal container,
80
00:06:15,250 --> 00:06:17,708
eventually the metal will
vibrate at a certain frequency
81
00:06:17,708 --> 00:06:18,917
and it'll create a tone.
82
00:06:18,917 --> 00:06:20,875
It could be a nice
pure sine-like tone
83
00:06:20,875 --> 00:06:22,875
or it could be a horrible
ugly screeching
84
00:06:22,875 --> 00:06:27,125
and both are kind of useful
in their own way.
85
00:06:27,125 --> 00:06:30,000
Just running it back here
to see how it sounds.
86
00:06:32,167 --> 00:06:35,292
I think what I wanna do is get another take of that
87
00:06:35,292 --> 00:06:37,125
just a little bit closer in.
88
00:06:37,125 --> 00:06:39,500
Okay, same metal box,
take 2.
89
00:06:39,500 --> 00:06:41,083
A little bit closer up
this time.
90
00:06:47,583 --> 00:06:49,625
So in this case,
in case of Timebox ,
91
00:06:49,625 --> 00:06:53,833
it really is about um,
just kinda letting it rip
92
00:06:53,833 --> 00:06:55,792
and f-- and having some fun
off some stuff.
93
00:06:55,792 --> 00:06:57,458
Having some ideas at a time
94
00:06:57,458 --> 00:06:59,792
and then just doing tons
of experiments um,
95
00:06:59,792 --> 00:07:01,333
and screwing around,
and messing up,
96
00:07:01,333 --> 00:07:02,917
and having lots
of failed experiments.
97
00:07:08,750 --> 00:07:10,750
That one doesn't wanna go.
98
00:07:10,750 --> 00:07:12,292
Alright.
99
00:07:12,292 --> 00:07:14,625
Failed experiment number 1.
100
00:07:14,625 --> 00:07:15,958
And then hoping at some point
101
00:07:15,958 --> 00:07:17,792
something cool is gonna come out
of that
102
00:07:17,792 --> 00:07:18,958
and in the end
you really don't know
103
00:07:18,958 --> 00:07:21,083
until you've laid it all out
and start placing things
104
00:07:21,083 --> 00:07:22,917
to picture and going,
"Okay, there's an in here
105
00:07:22,917 --> 00:07:25,167
or this is that key thing
that fits" and--
106
00:07:25,167 --> 00:07:26,708
and it starts to work.
107
00:07:26,708 --> 00:07:29,250
Uh, failed experiment number 56.
108
00:07:29,250 --> 00:07:29,958
Here we go.
109
00:07:33,792 --> 00:07:37,000
Okay, this is uh, wobbly saw, take 1.
110
00:07:39,750 --> 00:07:41,333
Let's get out the power tools.
111
00:07:45,625 --> 00:07:47,625
That's tough.
112
00:07:51,458 --> 00:07:52,292
What are you tryin' to do?
113
00:07:52,292 --> 00:07:53,625
Find something to--
114
00:07:53,625 --> 00:07:54,958
Yeah, I'm just lookin'
for something to--
115
00:07:54,958 --> 00:07:55,833
Saw?
116
00:07:55,833 --> 00:07:57,292
Something to saw
that's not gonna kill me,
117
00:07:57,292 --> 00:07:58,542
because there's nails in here.
118
00:07:59,625 --> 00:08:01,583
Alright.
119
00:08:02,917 --> 00:08:06,042
I actually really fucking hate
using this saw.
120
00:08:06,042 --> 00:08:07,292
Why?
121
00:08:07,292 --> 00:08:10,750
Uh, 'cause it scares the shit out of me frankly.
122
00:08:10,750 --> 00:08:12,667
It's like Susanna's dad--
123
00:08:12,667 --> 00:08:15,542
Like look, this--
this is a perfectly fine saw,
124
00:08:15,542 --> 00:08:17,083
and he like fucked
with all the shit,
125
00:08:17,083 --> 00:08:19,500
and put this fuckin' thing up,
and ripped this out
126
00:08:19,500 --> 00:08:20,667
just 'cause he wanted to like--
127
00:08:20,667 --> 00:08:22,500
Fuckin'
didn't like the safety features,
128
00:08:22,500 --> 00:08:24,875
and now
like it always kinda like--
129
00:08:24,875 --> 00:08:25,958
Also, there's no guard on it.
130
00:08:25,958 --> 00:08:28,750
There's no guard and it catches,
131
00:08:28,750 --> 00:08:30,500
because it--
it's sort of warped.
132
00:08:32,333 --> 00:08:33,667
But then because it's like
133
00:08:33,667 --> 00:08:35,708
he's fucked with all
the contro-- the tools of it,
134
00:08:35,708 --> 00:08:38,167
so like it always
comes a little off-centre,
135
00:08:38,167 --> 00:08:40,750
and so when you're sawing,
it'll catch and blow back,
136
00:08:40,750 --> 00:08:42,542
which is the reason why
it scares the shit out of me.
137
00:08:42,542 --> 00:08:44,750
Alright, safety first, kids.
138
00:08:44,750 --> 00:08:46,417
Let's see here.
139
00:08:50,167 --> 00:08:53,167
Here's circular saw
just on its own, take 1.
140
00:09:05,583 --> 00:09:06,667
Alright, here we go.
141
00:09:06,667 --> 00:09:09,333
So here's sawing some wood,
take 1.
142
00:09:20,708 --> 00:09:22,208
Get this fucking piece away.
143
00:09:24,917 --> 00:09:25,708
What's next?
144
00:09:25,708 --> 00:09:30,292
How about-- ah, hammer drill.
145
00:09:30,292 --> 00:09:32,083
This oughta make an ugly sound.
146
00:09:37,458 --> 00:09:38,583
Oh yeah.
147
00:09:40,250 --> 00:09:41,583
That's gonna be good.
148
00:09:51,333 --> 00:09:52,875
So when you listen to something like that
149
00:09:52,875 --> 00:09:54,083
like what do you--
what do you hear?
150
00:09:54,083 --> 00:09:55,667
'Cause to me
it just sounds like...
151
00:09:58,542 --> 00:09:59,208
- Like--
- You know, like--
152
00:09:59,208 --> 00:10:00,000
Just a noise?
153
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,083
A fuckin' hammer drill, yeah.
154
00:10:01,083 --> 00:10:03,083
Uh, so I mean
there's a couple of things.
155
00:10:03,083 --> 00:10:04,583
It's just sort of like
if it's got a nice resonance
156
00:10:04,583 --> 00:10:07,583
or it has a tone, like if it has
an even tone at certain fre--
157
00:10:07,583 --> 00:10:09,792
Like you rev it up to the full
158
00:10:09,792 --> 00:10:11,667
and if it continuously
sort of has
159
00:10:11,667 --> 00:10:12,917
uh, something stable,
160
00:10:12,917 --> 00:10:15,167
you can build uh,
an instrument out of that,
161
00:10:15,167 --> 00:10:19,208
like you can take it
and it'll uh, import into the--
162
00:10:19,208 --> 00:10:22,958
A sampler and um, sort of
automatically sort of put it
163
00:10:22,958 --> 00:10:24,542
within a certain frequency,
164
00:10:24,542 --> 00:10:25,625
and you can play it
like an instrument,
165
00:10:25,625 --> 00:10:27,208
I'll show you that later.
166
00:10:27,208 --> 00:10:29,083
Uh, and then I'm just thinkin'
about layers, and sounds,
167
00:10:29,083 --> 00:10:30,625
and stuff,
and I'm sort of picturing
168
00:10:30,625 --> 00:10:32,292
some of the things in the film.
169
00:10:32,292 --> 00:10:34,750
That revving up
to that high pitch you know,
170
00:10:34,750 --> 00:10:37,417
you can use that
as a tension-building device.
171
00:10:37,417 --> 00:10:39,875
Stretch it you know,
compress it.
172
00:10:39,875 --> 00:10:41,083
You pitch it way down,
173
00:10:41,083 --> 00:10:42,417
you just have it
at a low frequency,
174
00:10:42,417 --> 00:10:44,125
it's slowly coming up.
175
00:10:44,125 --> 00:10:46,375
So yeah,
it's just stuff like that.
176
00:10:46,375 --> 00:10:47,375
It's an interesting sound,
177
00:10:47,375 --> 00:10:50,083
and it's got lots
of different clicks and whirrs,
178
00:10:50,083 --> 00:10:52,583
and also it's interesting stuff
going inside it.
179
00:10:52,583 --> 00:10:54,125
Uh, you know,
it's gonna be lots of fun
180
00:10:54,125 --> 00:10:57,000
to sort of play around
with that.
181
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,417
Whoa, reciprocating saw.
182
00:11:08,417 --> 00:11:09,167
Alright.
183
00:11:09,167 --> 00:11:11,250
♪ Oh ♪
184
00:11:11,250 --> 00:11:14,167
Let's get some
rhythmic stuff going I think.
185
00:11:38,750 --> 00:11:41,458
It's the cheapest gong
you can ever have.
186
00:11:44,208 --> 00:11:45,542
But I bet
if we down pitch that,
187
00:11:45,542 --> 00:11:47,250
it'll sound really cool.
188
00:11:51,875 --> 00:11:54,208
Where'd you find all this shit?
189
00:11:54,208 --> 00:11:58,167
Uh, these are actually old uh,
camping like bear bells.
190
00:11:59,333 --> 00:12:00,792
From when you go camping,
you don't want bears to eat you,
191
00:12:00,792 --> 00:12:03,708
so apparently bears
are terrified of bells.
192
00:12:03,708 --> 00:12:05,958
I don't--
so some of my dad's old stuff.
193
00:12:05,958 --> 00:12:08,667
A lot of this sh--
shit is just--
194
00:12:08,667 --> 00:12:09,708
Just lying around my basement.
195
00:12:09,708 --> 00:12:12,333
I mean you know, it's junk.
196
00:12:12,333 --> 00:12:13,542
It's just junk percussion.
197
00:12:16,208 --> 00:12:19,292
And let's go start takin' the piano apart and--
198
00:12:19,292 --> 00:12:20,417
Sure.
199
00:12:20,417 --> 00:12:22,417
Makin' some cool sounds with the piano.
200
00:12:38,625 --> 00:12:40,583
Hmm.
201
00:12:44,583 --> 00:12:46,167
What's the problem?
202
00:12:46,167 --> 00:12:48,833
Well, the drill makes more noise than the piano does.
203
00:12:52,292 --> 00:12:54,458
That's no good.
204
00:12:54,458 --> 00:12:58,000
I don't want the piano to make
the most amount of noise.
205
00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:59,458
You know what I'm sayin'?
206
00:13:11,958 --> 00:13:15,125
I'm not gonna bother takin' the action out,
207
00:13:15,125 --> 00:13:19,333
so let's just put the damper
on here.
208
00:13:19,333 --> 00:13:21,292
So it's got the uh,
209
00:13:21,292 --> 00:13:23,292
the sustain pedal down sort
of permanently
210
00:13:23,292 --> 00:13:28,875
so then we can play these
nice strings all on their own.
211
00:13:47,125 --> 00:13:51,375
Alright, so we got our monofilament all rosined up,
212
00:13:51,375 --> 00:13:53,125
which means it's nice
and tacky now,
213
00:13:53,125 --> 00:13:56,000
and should really stick
to the strings.
214
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,292
So now, I can sort
of thread it through.
215
00:13:58,292 --> 00:14:00,208
Oh, here's a problem
I didn't anticipate.
216
00:14:03,583 --> 00:14:04,833
Oops.
217
00:14:42,500 --> 00:14:44,542
Um, uh, I think I'm gonna open up the bottom of the piano,
218
00:14:44,542 --> 00:14:48,208
'cause I don't want that--
that noise of the uh, filament.
219
00:14:48,208 --> 00:14:51,167
I should take this out, too
and then mic it from the bottom.
220
00:14:55,208 --> 00:14:59,417
Like so-- alright, I think
we're recording here, yep.
221
00:15:15,500 --> 00:15:17,083
There-- there were a couple of great moments there
222
00:15:17,083 --> 00:15:19,333
where the sounds were
really cool,
223
00:15:19,333 --> 00:15:22,083
'cause it just did things
I wasn't-- I was surprised by.
224
00:15:22,083 --> 00:15:24,417
I thought the filament,
when I was bowing the piano,
225
00:15:24,417 --> 00:15:26,250
it would be very smooth
and would just make it big--
226
00:15:27,625 --> 00:15:28,792
But instead it made
227
00:15:28,792 --> 00:15:31,042
the cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-
ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga kinda sound.
228
00:15:31,042 --> 00:15:33,000
So just you know,
you kinda roll with it.
229
00:15:50,875 --> 00:15:53,333
So I started playing in bands uh, originally.
230
00:15:53,333 --> 00:15:57,333
So uh, in the mid-90s I was in
uh, started playing rock bands
231
00:15:57,333 --> 00:15:59,125
while I was
in art school actually,
232
00:15:59,125 --> 00:16:01,417
because I intended to be
an illustrator at a school.
233
00:16:01,417 --> 00:16:03,958
So that lasted
until the early 2000s.
234
00:16:03,958 --> 00:16:05,292
We were sort of moving
around Canada,
235
00:16:05,292 --> 00:16:06,792
playing in different places
236
00:16:06,792 --> 00:16:10,208
and eventually uh, it broke up
like all good bands do,
237
00:16:10,208 --> 00:16:13,125
and I was sort of left thinking,
"What am I doing with myself?"
238
00:16:13,125 --> 00:16:15,125
And it took a while, but uh,
239
00:16:15,125 --> 00:16:16,625
after some sort
of self-reflection,
240
00:16:16,625 --> 00:16:19,250
and some reading, and looking
into different things uh,
241
00:16:19,250 --> 00:16:21,458
I came upon
the amazing realization
242
00:16:21,458 --> 00:16:25,167
that like the two big things
visual media and music
243
00:16:25,167 --> 00:16:27,458
that I really loved were
actually combined
244
00:16:27,458 --> 00:16:29,917
in this uh, vocation
called "screen scoring".
245
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:39,125
So I c-- I compose music
246
00:16:39,125 --> 00:16:41,083
for film and television
primarily
247
00:16:41,083 --> 00:16:44,875
uh, which covers everything
from uh, factual series,
248
00:16:44,875 --> 00:16:49,083
to sports stuff,
to um, feature films.
249
00:16:49,083 --> 00:16:51,667
Uh, I really like working
on dramas uh, thrillers,
250
00:16:51,667 --> 00:16:55,875
mysteries um, sci-fi fantasy,
those are sort of the big ones.
251
00:17:00,458 --> 00:17:02,708
A good story well told is sort of a pleasure to work on
252
00:17:02,708 --> 00:17:03,750
no matter what it is.
253
00:17:14,708 --> 00:17:17,167
I think of myself as a filmmaker first
254
00:17:17,167 --> 00:17:20,208
since scoring a film
is really uh, particular
255
00:17:20,208 --> 00:17:21,250
and-- and that's really
what I'm--
256
00:17:21,250 --> 00:17:22,917
I think I'm built to do.
257
00:17:29,417 --> 00:17:30,917
I don't consider it pure art.
258
00:17:30,917 --> 00:17:32,917
It's-- it's more of an art uh,
259
00:17:32,917 --> 00:17:35,167
it's more of
a craftsman kind of thing,
260
00:17:35,167 --> 00:17:36,958
but there are
artistic aspects to it,
261
00:17:36,958 --> 00:17:39,375
because I will go
within the sandbox
262
00:17:39,375 --> 00:17:41,292
that's created by somebody else.
263
00:17:41,292 --> 00:17:44,292
There are lots of moments to
play pretty freely within that
264
00:17:44,292 --> 00:17:47,375
and to do things
that are surprising,
265
00:17:47,375 --> 00:17:50,958
that are really part of your own
um, your own vision,
266
00:17:50,958 --> 00:17:52,500
and your own signature,
your own sound
267
00:17:52,500 --> 00:17:54,167
or something
that really just comes
268
00:17:54,167 --> 00:17:55,708
from some place deep within you.
269
00:18:04,333 --> 00:18:09,083
So the EBow's a little electronic device
270
00:18:09,083 --> 00:18:12,125
usually used on electric guitars
and it--
271
00:18:12,125 --> 00:18:14,500
You just put it over top
of the strings
272
00:18:14,500 --> 00:18:16,917
and it creates
a magnetic frequency
273
00:18:16,917 --> 00:18:19,083
that vibrates the string
274
00:18:19,083 --> 00:18:22,167
and you get these
long sustained tones.
275
00:18:22,167 --> 00:18:24,917
And I have seen this used
on pianos.
276
00:18:24,917 --> 00:18:29,208
I don't know how well
it's gonna work,
277
00:18:29,208 --> 00:18:30,750
but we're gonna give it a try.
278
00:18:34,792 --> 00:18:36,208
Suspense is killing me.
279
00:18:38,167 --> 00:18:43,417
We'll call that
"failed experiment number 128".
280
00:18:43,417 --> 00:18:44,292
Didn't work at all?
281
00:18:44,292 --> 00:18:45,667
Nope.
282
00:18:45,667 --> 00:18:47,125
I mean there's got to be a way
to do it,
283
00:18:47,125 --> 00:18:50,458
I've seen people do it,
but I've never--
284
00:18:50,458 --> 00:18:54,292
I've never uh,
I don't know the secret.
285
00:18:54,292 --> 00:18:55,458
You know, it's kinda funny
about all the stuff
286
00:18:55,458 --> 00:18:57,583
that we've been doing today.
287
00:18:57,583 --> 00:19:00,792
I'm not-- I've never
actually tried this stuff.
288
00:19:00,792 --> 00:19:02,583
Actually, it's all theory.
289
00:19:02,583 --> 00:19:05,750
It's supposed to work in theory,
so I'm always just--
290
00:19:05,750 --> 00:19:08,375
I'm always thinking, "Uh, it's
not gonna sound like anything."
291
00:19:08,375 --> 00:19:09,708
It'll be a big embarrassment.
292
00:19:09,708 --> 00:19:11,958
I told Tate I could do all
these cool-sounding things and--
293
00:19:30,792 --> 00:19:34,875
So uh, what I would normally do is watch the film,
294
00:19:34,875 --> 00:19:36,500
get a sense of the characters,
and the themes,
295
00:19:36,500 --> 00:19:38,417
and everything else,
and then uh,
296
00:19:38,417 --> 00:19:41,208
I would sit down at the keyboard
or with a guitar or whatever,
297
00:19:41,208 --> 00:19:44,250
and sort of try to generate,
play around
298
00:19:44,250 --> 00:19:47,292
until I get a sense
of what material works.
299
00:19:47,292 --> 00:19:50,083
Harmonic, progressions,
melodies,
300
00:19:50,083 --> 00:19:51,250
traditional stuff like that
301
00:19:51,250 --> 00:19:53,167
until something resonates
with the characters.
302
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,042
What we're doing with Timebox
is a little different,
303
00:19:58,042 --> 00:20:00,958
so instead of worrying
about the structure so much
304
00:20:00,958 --> 00:20:03,667
and worrying about uh, any kind
of harmonic progressions
305
00:20:03,667 --> 00:20:05,542
or melody, 'cause
that's really out the window--
306
00:20:07,042 --> 00:20:09,292
We're-- we're doing more of an experiment,
307
00:20:09,292 --> 00:20:11,250
a-- a big extended experiment
308
00:20:11,250 --> 00:20:13,542
where I'm getting a sense
of the tone of the film,
309
00:20:13,542 --> 00:20:15,625
and then I'm thinking about
all the different weird sounds
310
00:20:15,625 --> 00:20:18,542
we could make with things
that aren't instruments,
311
00:20:18,542 --> 00:20:22,000
and collecting those sounds
into a big catalogue of stuff.
312
00:20:27,875 --> 00:20:29,292
And hopefully, out of that you get something
313
00:20:29,292 --> 00:20:30,708
that sounds a certain way,
314
00:20:30,708 --> 00:20:33,208
and is that spark of inspiration
you then take,
315
00:20:33,208 --> 00:20:35,708
to start sculpting
something slowly
316
00:20:35,708 --> 00:20:37,583
and then placing that up
against the picture,
317
00:20:37,583 --> 00:20:38,708
and seeing how it works.
318
00:20:38,708 --> 00:20:40,958
So it's a little bit
of a different uh, process
319
00:20:40,958 --> 00:20:42,208
to get to the same point.
320
00:21:01,333 --> 00:21:03,583
Once all the-- the sounds are collected,
321
00:21:03,583 --> 00:21:05,542
the real challenge becomes,
322
00:21:05,542 --> 00:21:08,583
"How does this become
a cohesive score," right?
323
00:21:08,583 --> 00:21:10,583
You've got a lot of elements uh,
324
00:21:10,583 --> 00:21:12,083
you've got a lot
of building blocks,
325
00:21:12,083 --> 00:21:14,250
but you haven't really done--
326
00:21:14,250 --> 00:21:15,333
You've just sort of had
a lot of fun
327
00:21:15,333 --> 00:21:16,792
playing in the playground,
328
00:21:16,792 --> 00:21:18,792
but you haven't really worried
too much about the structure.
329
00:21:32,958 --> 00:21:34,208
Ouch.
330
00:21:55,500 --> 00:21:56,875
What I have to do now is just sort of filter
331
00:21:56,875 --> 00:21:59,000
through all the stuff
that we've collected
332
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:03,000
and I'm looking
for that little bit of magic
333
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,333
where I kinda just go-- I go,
"Oh, that's it."
334
00:22:06,333 --> 00:22:07,958
and then I think what's gonna
happen is
335
00:22:07,958 --> 00:22:10,500
I'm gonna go, "Okay,
let's try this over this part."
336
00:22:10,500 --> 00:22:11,875
and then
I'm gonna get some other kind--
337
00:22:11,875 --> 00:22:14,500
It's just really
about making these um,
338
00:22:14,500 --> 00:22:15,833
a very freeform kinda thing.
339
00:22:15,833 --> 00:22:16,833
You have to be--
340
00:22:16,833 --> 00:22:18,250
you have to just sort of make
these associations
341
00:22:18,250 --> 00:22:20,333
and go, "Oh, this--
this sound here."
342
00:22:30,333 --> 00:22:32,083
I remember doing that.
343
00:22:34,333 --> 00:22:35,750
Oh!
344
00:22:37,458 --> 00:22:38,375
Check this out.
345
00:22:38,375 --> 00:22:39,958
This would be sick.
346
00:22:46,125 --> 00:22:47,750
That's an evil sound, right?
347
00:22:47,750 --> 00:22:50,000
Yeah, fuckin' terrifying.
348
00:22:54,417 --> 00:22:55,833
That's not even--
that was unintentional.
349
00:22:55,833 --> 00:22:57,292
That's just me
adjusting the microphone
350
00:22:57,292 --> 00:22:58,500
on the stand.
351
00:23:12,875 --> 00:23:15,375
Imagine that over the landscape in the beginning of the film.
352
00:23:24,917 --> 00:23:26,875
Something like that
would be cool, eh?
353
00:23:45,750 --> 00:23:47,042
Like that.
354
00:23:50,625 --> 00:23:53,833
There's kinda something eerie
and evil about it.
355
00:23:55,083 --> 00:23:56,458
It's got a neat tone.
356
00:24:02,083 --> 00:24:04,000
That's better, it's--
357
00:24:06,292 --> 00:24:07,458
What are you doing now?
358
00:24:07,458 --> 00:24:09,542
You know,
sort of scrubbing through
359
00:24:09,542 --> 00:24:12,958
just to see what we got.
360
00:24:33,542 --> 00:24:34,875
It's the piano bow.
361
00:24:34,875 --> 00:24:36,375
I don't know something
kinda cool happened there
362
00:24:36,375 --> 00:24:37,625
with the dual tone.
363
00:24:45,417 --> 00:24:46,583
It's one of those moments
of magic
364
00:24:46,583 --> 00:24:48,208
you're always looking for.
365
00:24:50,292 --> 00:24:53,792
Hmm, creepy.
366
00:24:53,792 --> 00:24:55,167
And when you put that
against picture.
367
00:24:55,167 --> 00:24:56,833
Phew.
368
00:25:14,208 --> 00:25:16,500
Let's do an experiment.
369
00:25:16,500 --> 00:25:18,500
I'll try
and make a synth out of that
370
00:25:18,500 --> 00:25:21,500
like a--
something playable out of that.
371
00:25:53,625 --> 00:25:55,708
That's something cool.
372
00:26:38,750 --> 00:26:40,417
That seems to be a sweet spot right there
373
00:26:40,417 --> 00:26:42,125
to serve in this area.
374
00:26:57,875 --> 00:26:58,917
I like it.
375
00:26:58,917 --> 00:26:59,958
What sounds are those?
376
00:26:59,958 --> 00:27:01,208
That--
377
00:27:01,208 --> 00:27:05,958
That is uh, one of the box,
the metal boxes bein' bowed
378
00:27:05,958 --> 00:27:09,417
uh, plus, believe it or not,
the hammer saw
379
00:27:09,417 --> 00:27:10,667
or the hammer drill.
380
00:27:45,542 --> 00:27:47,833
That's starting to sound like something, too.
381
00:27:47,833 --> 00:27:49,917
You know, I might actually
put that just on its own.
382
00:27:54,667 --> 00:27:55,958
It's usually a bit of a slog
at the beginning,
383
00:27:55,958 --> 00:27:57,917
you're sitting
with an empty slate,
384
00:27:57,917 --> 00:27:58,958
you don't know
what you're doing,
385
00:27:58,958 --> 00:28:01,042
you're struggling
to come up with ideas,
386
00:28:01,042 --> 00:28:03,000
and to just find anything
that works.
387
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:04,708
But man, when that clicks,
when it--
388
00:28:04,708 --> 00:28:07,958
When you get something
that musically is--
389
00:28:07,958 --> 00:28:10,833
It has some sort of a-- a--
like a l-- a relationship
390
00:28:10,833 --> 00:28:12,000
to that what's on screen,
391
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,875
it feels like you found
you know, a partner
392
00:28:14,875 --> 00:28:16,542
for someone who's been single.
393
00:28:16,542 --> 00:28:18,375
You're going, "You guys work
really great together",
394
00:28:18,375 --> 00:28:20,583
and you have this beautiful
new thing that happens,
395
00:28:20,583 --> 00:28:22,167
and those moments
are really exciting,
396
00:28:22,167 --> 00:28:24,042
especially when you have a scene
you're struggling,
397
00:28:24,042 --> 00:28:27,167
and all of a sudden
you discover that way in,
398
00:28:27,167 --> 00:28:29,000
and the way that the music
is supposed to work,
399
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:30,875
and it just
creates something new,
400
00:28:30,875 --> 00:28:33,542
and that feeling
is really exciting.
401
00:28:33,542 --> 00:28:35,667
It could be something.
402
00:29:15,167 --> 00:29:17,458
There's some pretty cool stuff
in there already, eh?
403
00:29:21,292 --> 00:29:23,375
I think we should break.
404
00:29:37,083 --> 00:29:39,167
Alright, let's see
how some of this stuff sounds
405
00:29:39,167 --> 00:29:40,333
to picture.
406
00:29:47,083 --> 00:29:49,792
Uh, so now, I'm gonna--
I'm exporting all the uh,
407
00:29:49,792 --> 00:29:51,125
individual sounds
408
00:29:51,125 --> 00:29:52,667
or picking and choosing
the ones that I like the best
409
00:29:52,667 --> 00:29:56,958
and just sort of keeping in mind
what their use might be
410
00:29:56,958 --> 00:29:58,958
in any given scene.
411
00:30:10,458 --> 00:30:11,958
Yeah, I think that's a winner.
412
00:30:14,500 --> 00:30:16,000
That's also very useful.
413
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,792
And I'm trying--
I'm doing some experiments here
414
00:30:18,792 --> 00:30:21,458
where I'm pitch-shifting
some of the stuff, so...
415
00:30:28,125 --> 00:30:31,375
So to give you a sense of
what that sounded like before.
416
00:30:36,125 --> 00:30:37,250
What we're gonna do now is
417
00:30:37,250 --> 00:30:39,083
we're gonna load up
the actual film Timebox
418
00:30:39,083 --> 00:30:42,583
into my timeline, and import it
into the project file.
419
00:30:42,583 --> 00:30:47,167
Now, I'm gonna try importing
some of these sounds
420
00:30:47,167 --> 00:30:49,792
and seeing how they play
against the picture.
421
00:30:49,792 --> 00:30:51,000
And that's how we start?
422
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,500
That's how we know
if we have anything.
423
00:31:11,125 --> 00:31:13,000
That's surprising.
424
00:31:14,792 --> 00:31:16,625
I like that.
425
00:31:16,625 --> 00:31:19,417
It doesn't sound as uh, cute
as what we had before,
426
00:31:19,417 --> 00:31:20,750
'cause that's this.
427
00:31:23,542 --> 00:31:25,125
It just doesn't have any
of the attack, right?
428
00:31:25,125 --> 00:31:27,417
It doesn't have that uh,
percussive attack on it.
429
00:31:27,417 --> 00:31:28,125
Yeah.
430
00:31:28,125 --> 00:31:30,792
Just has
all of the uh, sustained
431
00:31:30,792 --> 00:31:32,208
comes after the attack.
432
00:31:32,208 --> 00:31:34,625
That falling thing
is what makes it so weird.
433
00:31:36,083 --> 00:31:38,083
It's like oscillating downwards.
434
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:41,208
Descended.
435
00:31:41,208 --> 00:31:43,375
Yeah, it's like...
436
00:31:49,250 --> 00:31:51,458
That doesn't make you feel like something's coming.
437
00:31:53,917 --> 00:31:56,917
That's the reciprocating saw
winding up.
438
00:31:56,917 --> 00:32:00,167
I would call that
potentially very useful.
439
00:32:00,167 --> 00:32:02,333
You want me to turn
that into a synth?
440
00:32:06,583 --> 00:32:10,625
Alright, it's been 13 days.
441
00:32:10,625 --> 00:32:14,917
I think I've been in the box
four times now.
442
00:32:14,917 --> 00:32:18,458
I haven't seen either of us for
443
00:32:18,458 --> 00:32:21,042
at least two days.
444
00:32:21,042 --> 00:32:23,292
I haven't seen me for five
445
00:32:23,292 --> 00:32:25,917
and the last time
I've seen Tommy.
446
00:32:25,917 --> 00:32:28,125
There's fuckin' three of them
447
00:32:28,125 --> 00:32:30,292
and they might be
workin' together, so...
448
00:32:47,042 --> 00:32:50,083
Alright, it's been 13 day.
449
00:32:52,292 --> 00:32:54,542
There's a little start there,
right?
450
00:32:54,542 --> 00:32:57,833
Hugely imperfect in every way,
but gives you an idea.
451
00:32:57,833 --> 00:32:58,917
Yeah.
452
00:32:58,917 --> 00:32:59,792
Like so what's next?
453
00:32:59,792 --> 00:33:00,792
Like what do you do after this?
454
00:33:00,792 --> 00:33:02,542
Do you just kind of do this
the whole way through
455
00:33:02,542 --> 00:33:05,042
or like what's
sort of the next step?
456
00:33:05,042 --> 00:33:07,042
Yeah, I mean I think I'll do--
457
00:33:07,042 --> 00:33:08,375
I'll do a bunch of passes
with this
458
00:33:08,375 --> 00:33:09,583
and sort of see what it feels
459
00:33:09,583 --> 00:33:13,875
like just working through
each scene and the sounds,
460
00:33:13,875 --> 00:33:15,083
and seeing what
sort of really works,
461
00:33:15,083 --> 00:33:16,125
and then it's just a matter
462
00:33:16,125 --> 00:33:18,333
of really pulling things
way out,
463
00:33:18,333 --> 00:33:21,375
and putting you know,
really sculpting the sounds
464
00:33:21,375 --> 00:33:23,333
and making sure something's--
something's in the foreground,
465
00:33:23,333 --> 00:33:25,042
mid-ground, background,
466
00:33:25,042 --> 00:33:26,167
seeing how it works
against the picture,
467
00:33:26,167 --> 00:33:27,708
what it's sort of saying
about the scene
468
00:33:27,708 --> 00:33:29,042
and the characters.
469
00:33:29,042 --> 00:33:31,333
Um, yeah.
470
00:33:31,333 --> 00:33:34,167
And then you just sort of go
step by step, sculpting away.
471
00:33:59,917 --> 00:34:02,292
Screen composing is a-- it's an interesting one,
472
00:34:02,292 --> 00:34:04,542
because it is-- it is--
473
00:34:04,542 --> 00:34:06,708
I mean the-- when you're doing
the actual work,
474
00:34:06,708 --> 00:34:08,167
when you're just
sitting down there and writing,
475
00:34:08,167 --> 00:34:09,917
yeah, it is absolutely solitary.
476
00:34:09,917 --> 00:34:11,833
So that's one of the--
that's one of the weird parts
477
00:34:11,833 --> 00:34:12,625
about doing what I do is
478
00:34:12,625 --> 00:34:14,417
that I'm actually
pretty social person,
479
00:34:14,417 --> 00:34:16,708
I like talkin' to people
about ideas.
480
00:34:16,708 --> 00:34:18,208
a lot of times you're
just sort of sitting there
481
00:34:18,208 --> 00:34:21,250
wrestling with your own
self-doubt and your own uh,
482
00:34:21,250 --> 00:34:23,000
uh, questions about how to
move forward on this--
483
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:24,458
On a project.
484
00:34:28,500 --> 00:34:30,083
How to make a living
as a screen composer?
485
00:34:30,083 --> 00:34:31,667
It-- it's a tough question
I think.
486
00:34:31,667 --> 00:34:33,750
The veterans that I talk to say
now it's either you're
487
00:34:33,750 --> 00:34:36,167
at a very
like wide strip near the bottom
488
00:34:36,167 --> 00:34:37,250
making almost no money,
489
00:34:37,250 --> 00:34:39,083
and then there's nothing
in between almost,
490
00:34:39,083 --> 00:34:42,917
and then there's a very tiny
microscopic layer at the top.
491
00:34:42,917 --> 00:34:44,583
Why do-- why do what I do?
492
00:34:44,583 --> 00:34:49,083
I mean I've-- I honestly have
tried to walk away
493
00:34:49,083 --> 00:34:50,417
from doing music
a couple of times
494
00:34:50,417 --> 00:34:51,292
and it just doesn't work.
495
00:34:51,292 --> 00:34:52,833
I keep coming back to it.
496
00:34:52,833 --> 00:34:55,417
Um, yeah, and I mean it's just
any opportunity I get
497
00:34:55,417 --> 00:34:57,333
to kinda do this stuff
and really experiment you know,
498
00:34:57,333 --> 00:34:59,083
you just kinda jump at that.
499
00:35:06,417 --> 00:35:08,083
So where we're at right now
with the score is
500
00:35:08,083 --> 00:35:10,167
I've uh,
all the materials are in,
501
00:35:10,167 --> 00:35:11,667
I've sort of
sorted everything out,
502
00:35:11,667 --> 00:35:14,125
and really have scored
pretty much the whole picture
503
00:35:14,125 --> 00:35:16,250
um, after I developed my sounds
504
00:35:16,250 --> 00:35:17,917
uh, using the stuff
that we collected,
505
00:35:17,917 --> 00:35:20,708
and yeah, we're-- we're getting
close to the finish line.
506
00:35:23,625 --> 00:35:25,458
It was-- it was harder
than I thought it would be.
507
00:35:25,458 --> 00:35:26,333
For sure.
508
00:35:26,333 --> 00:35:27,375
Mostly, the scoring part of it.
509
00:35:27,375 --> 00:35:29,583
The actual--
the actual getting down
510
00:35:29,583 --> 00:35:30,792
to the nitty gritty
of telling the story
511
00:35:30,792 --> 00:35:33,125
and actually making the--
the sounds fit.
512
00:35:33,125 --> 00:35:36,625
Um, and--
and yeah, it was harder.
513
00:35:44,583 --> 00:35:47,167
So the things that ended up being really useful
514
00:35:47,167 --> 00:35:49,208
uh, first of all the metal,
the bowed metal,
515
00:35:49,208 --> 00:35:50,292
like some of the boxes
516
00:35:50,292 --> 00:35:52,125
and the bowed metal
sounded really great
517
00:35:52,125 --> 00:35:53,583
um, just because
they had that nice resonance,
518
00:35:53,583 --> 00:35:55,458
they gave nice
clean sort of tones
519
00:35:55,458 --> 00:35:57,625
that I knew I could
put into a s-- a sampler
520
00:35:57,625 --> 00:36:00,833
and get sort of a--
a playable instrument out of.
521
00:36:13,833 --> 00:36:17,167
So a lot of those really dark textures
522
00:36:17,167 --> 00:36:18,917
that come up on the score again
and again
523
00:36:18,917 --> 00:36:22,042
are actually created with
a layer of different things.
524
00:36:22,042 --> 00:36:23,292
One of them
is the dark ambiences
525
00:36:23,292 --> 00:36:25,500
we got from the piano,
so from bowing,
526
00:36:25,500 --> 00:36:27,333
and I just took those sound
and I really stretched--
527
00:36:27,333 --> 00:36:30,250
I stretched them out, so you get
this really deep sort of--
528
00:36:32,792 --> 00:36:39,375
Low, dark, echoey kind of sound and then that's layered in
529
00:36:39,375 --> 00:36:41,667
uh, with what I call
"hissing glass",
530
00:36:41,667 --> 00:36:44,250
which is
I think a bowed metal box.
531
00:36:45,417 --> 00:36:46,875
Uh, the hammer drill.
532
00:36:51,042 --> 00:36:53,333
Layered up.
533
00:36:53,333 --> 00:36:55,000
And then for that final thing--
534
00:36:57,708 --> 00:37:02,250
So that's the box sound that
didn't quite make a note, but...
535
00:37:05,833 --> 00:37:08,792
It does create a really neat kind of like resonant sound.
536
00:37:08,792 --> 00:37:11,167
So I'll just
play this one section here.
537
00:37:31,292 --> 00:37:32,583
So that's a layer of three things,
538
00:37:32,583 --> 00:37:34,667
one of them is called
"box long dry",
539
00:37:34,667 --> 00:37:37,417
which is basically
that long dry scraping box.
540
00:37:41,583 --> 00:37:44,417
Plus the hissing glass,
which I just described,
541
00:37:44,417 --> 00:37:45,583
and then finally, this stuff
542
00:37:45,583 --> 00:37:46,917
sounded
really beautiful actually,
543
00:37:46,917 --> 00:37:49,042
'cause it's--
and it's another bowed box,
544
00:37:49,042 --> 00:37:50,750
but it's a very pure tone
545
00:37:50,750 --> 00:37:54,250
that could actually be played
in chords and uh, melody.
546
00:38:12,458 --> 00:38:14,125
So if this is a traditional score,
547
00:38:14,125 --> 00:38:15,583
I would call that
my string section
548
00:38:15,583 --> 00:38:17,750
that would be sort of
the string section sound.
549
00:38:23,667 --> 00:38:25,167
The percussive stuff
always works,
550
00:38:25,167 --> 00:38:26,333
so we had some metals and stuff
551
00:38:26,333 --> 00:38:27,375
that I was doing,
percussive stuff.
552
00:38:27,375 --> 00:38:28,958
I knew that would be great
for rhythmic beds
553
00:38:28,958 --> 00:38:30,083
and things like that.
554
00:38:53,125 --> 00:38:54,750
So again, it uses a lot of the same material
555
00:38:54,750 --> 00:38:58,500
that we heard before,
so the dark bowed uh, metals.
556
00:39:00,500 --> 00:39:03,875
Then of course, yeah,
there's all the percussion,
557
00:39:03,875 --> 00:39:06,875
which is layers and layers of me
playing different things.
558
00:39:13,792 --> 00:39:17,500
So that's two boxes played
with brushes, mallets,
559
00:39:17,500 --> 00:39:19,167
and then the crowbar um,
560
00:39:19,167 --> 00:39:21,667
and there's also the single
crowbar hits ended up being re--
561
00:39:21,667 --> 00:39:24,375
Really useful
in reverse sort of--
562
00:39:26,333 --> 00:39:27,875
Lead us into sections.
563
00:39:27,875 --> 00:39:29,542
And then the rest of it's just
individual percussion parts
564
00:39:29,542 --> 00:39:31,042
that I played in.
565
00:39:31,042 --> 00:39:32,333
That's the loot brush.
566
00:39:36,500 --> 00:39:37,708
The crowbar.
567
00:39:40,042 --> 00:39:42,375
And then the box with mallets.
568
00:39:54,875 --> 00:39:59,542
So the box-- this box mallet,
I use in a different section
569
00:39:59,542 --> 00:40:02,458
where I took that material,
and re-tuned it,
570
00:40:02,458 --> 00:40:04,792
and turned it into
a really weird sounding loop.
571
00:40:15,708 --> 00:40:16,958
Every time I hear a percussive thing,
572
00:40:16,958 --> 00:40:19,000
I think, "Well,
what if we did something weird
573
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,250
with the-- with the notes,
the sort of in--
574
00:40:21,250 --> 00:40:23,458
Inherent overtones
that are in that.
575
00:40:24,625 --> 00:40:26,042
Let's roll again.
576
00:40:28,625 --> 00:40:29,917
I think scoring took a little longer,
577
00:40:29,917 --> 00:40:32,708
because I'm sort of inventing
a new language
578
00:40:32,708 --> 00:40:34,083
for this film in a way, right?
579
00:40:34,083 --> 00:40:35,042
And it's-- in the past,
580
00:40:35,042 --> 00:40:38,583
I've combined these sounds
as a textual layer
581
00:40:38,583 --> 00:40:40,625
and this time,
I really pushed myself
582
00:40:40,625 --> 00:40:42,917
to use only these sounds.
583
00:40:45,083 --> 00:40:46,000
Interestingly enough,
584
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:48,000
although I didn't think of it
in the beginning
585
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:49,292
or I didn't think
it might be useful,
586
00:40:49,292 --> 00:40:51,958
the weirdest textures that
I knew we could stretch out
587
00:40:51,958 --> 00:40:54,125
and kind of
make ambient beds out of,
588
00:40:54,125 --> 00:40:55,250
some of those sounds were great.
589
00:41:01,167 --> 00:41:04,292
Ooh, that was a sound I called "piano monster".
590
00:41:04,292 --> 00:41:06,458
That's worth revisiting, right?
591
00:41:06,458 --> 00:41:08,458
Yeah, tell me about piano monster.
592
00:41:12,083 --> 00:41:15,292
Oh, actually,
it's piano monster mating call.
593
00:41:15,292 --> 00:41:16,833
'Cause it sounds like that.
594
00:41:21,417 --> 00:41:24,292
That was one of the uh,
bowed piano notes,
595
00:41:24,292 --> 00:41:25,458
but I just did it
really quickly,
596
00:41:25,458 --> 00:41:29,292
and it sort of scraped along,
and--
597
00:41:29,292 --> 00:41:30,333
Oh, it's just ugly,
598
00:41:30,333 --> 00:41:33,667
but put a bunch of uh,
reverb on that
599
00:41:33,667 --> 00:41:36,417
and throw it over a creepy
scene.
600
00:41:36,417 --> 00:41:37,250
Mmhmm.
601
00:41:51,500 --> 00:41:56,083
There's a really nice low sound for the box and bow section.
602
00:41:56,083 --> 00:41:58,625
There's some really
weird sound design elements,
603
00:41:58,625 --> 00:41:59,833
they're kind of creepy
and horrible.
604
00:41:59,833 --> 00:42:01,500
There's uh, something that--
605
00:42:01,500 --> 00:42:03,667
This is what I call
"scream verb".
606
00:42:03,667 --> 00:42:06,167
So that is--
we were talking earlier
607
00:42:06,167 --> 00:42:07,458
about the microphone stand,
608
00:42:07,458 --> 00:42:09,708
and how I was
moving the microphone stand,
609
00:42:09,708 --> 00:42:11,792
and didn't think I was actually
capturing any good sound,
610
00:42:11,792 --> 00:42:14,000
but that rubber against metal
611
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:15,750
uh, resonating
into the microphone
612
00:42:15,750 --> 00:42:18,042
through the stand ended up
sounding like this.
613
00:42:25,417 --> 00:42:29,125
And that reverb tail ends up
614
00:42:29,125 --> 00:42:30,583
being something I use
for something else
615
00:42:30,583 --> 00:42:32,833
and I turn it
into a rhythmic uh, element.
616
00:42:40,542 --> 00:42:42,042
Some of the power tool sounds
were great.
617
00:42:42,042 --> 00:42:44,208
and then that
wonderful reciprocating saw,
618
00:42:44,208 --> 00:42:46,542
which just ended up
being a fantastic device
619
00:42:46,542 --> 00:42:48,375
for building tension over time.
620
00:43:03,917 --> 00:43:04,583
Mm.
621
00:43:07,875 --> 00:43:11,042
My aim for this was really to take to-- to--
622
00:43:11,042 --> 00:43:13,875
To do it in a pure way, to--
to say, "What is the--
623
00:43:13,875 --> 00:43:16,792
What to me
is the essence of this story
624
00:43:16,792 --> 00:43:20,750
and how do I most purely tell
that story in musical terms
625
00:43:20,750 --> 00:43:25,542
using uh, using you know,
elements
626
00:43:25,542 --> 00:43:26,750
that I've made myself.
627
00:43:26,750 --> 00:43:28,750
It's handmade,
it's a handcrafted thing, right?
628
00:43:28,750 --> 00:43:30,708
That was-- that was really
the big thing for me.
629
00:43:30,708 --> 00:43:32,750
Just to have it say,
"This is all me."
630
00:43:35,583 --> 00:43:36,500
We're rollin'.
631
00:43:36,500 --> 00:43:38,125
- You guys ready?
- Yeah.
632
00:43:38,125 --> 00:43:39,250
Action.
633
00:43:42,333 --> 00:43:44,167
We're all talking in our voice,
634
00:43:44,167 --> 00:43:46,042
like we're all saying something
that we wanted to say
635
00:43:46,042 --> 00:43:48,000
and we're doing it
the way we wanted to do it,
636
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:51,958
there's n-- we're not tryin'
to make something in a way
637
00:43:51,958 --> 00:43:53,958
that we think other people want
to see it, right?
638
00:43:53,958 --> 00:43:56,750
We're doing--
this is just our crazy outing
639
00:43:56,750 --> 00:43:58,583
and we're just gonna go for it.
640
00:44:03,292 --> 00:44:03,958
You gotta go faster.
641
00:44:03,958 --> 00:44:05,708
Hey, you son of a bitch!
642
00:44:13,125 --> 00:44:16,500
And to me, I think any time you're doing that as an artist
643
00:44:16,500 --> 00:44:18,000
uh, that's the best way to work,
644
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:20,375
because if you're
gonna succeed on any terms
645
00:44:20,375 --> 00:44:21,583
it may as well be on your own,
646
00:44:21,583 --> 00:44:24,000
'cause I think we really just
threw everything at the wall,
647
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:26,208
and just went crazy, and--
and you know, come what may,
648
00:44:26,208 --> 00:44:28,375
I'll be-- I'll be very happy
and proud of this.
649
00:44:33,292 --> 00:44:34,167
Nasty.
650
00:44:52,708 --> 00:44:56,875
Alright, it's been 13 days.
651
00:44:56,875 --> 00:45:01,417
I think I've been
in the box four times now.
652
00:45:01,417 --> 00:45:04,542
I haven't seen either of us for
653
00:45:04,542 --> 00:45:07,458
at least two days.
654
00:45:07,458 --> 00:45:09,708
I haven't seen me for five
655
00:45:09,708 --> 00:45:12,042
and the last time I seen Tommy.
656
00:45:12,042 --> 00:45:14,625
There's fuckin' three of them
657
00:45:14,625 --> 00:45:16,500
and they might be
workin' together, so...
658
00:46:51,875 --> 00:46:53,833
Well, that's fucking terrifying.
659
00:47:44,250 --> 00:47:46,833
Uh, why the fuck are you back?
660
00:47:48,083 --> 00:47:50,542
So imagine I got a pretty
fuckin' disturbin' video message
661
00:47:50,542 --> 00:47:53,708
last week from myself.
662
00:47:53,708 --> 00:47:55,458
That's why I'm back.
663
00:47:55,458 --> 00:47:57,625
Now, what you been doin'
with that fuckin' timebox?
664
00:48:01,958 --> 00:48:03,625
Nothin', eh?
665
00:48:03,625 --> 00:48:04,750
Look, when we found that thing
666
00:48:04,750 --> 00:48:06,250
and accidentally
copied ourselves,
667
00:48:06,250 --> 00:48:08,708
the hunt was supposed
to be a one-time thing
668
00:48:08,708 --> 00:48:10,208
to try and fix it, right?
669
00:48:12,208 --> 00:48:15,125
One copy dies, one goes free
into the world.
670
00:48:17,917 --> 00:48:21,792
But let me guess,
you kept goin', didn't you?
671
00:48:34,542 --> 00:48:35,708
Son of a bitch!
672
00:48:45,250 --> 00:48:46,667
Somethin' like that.
673
00:48:49,292 --> 00:48:51,333
Goddammit, most people discovered time machine,
674
00:48:51,333 --> 00:48:53,292
they Back to the Future
that shit,
675
00:48:53,292 --> 00:48:55,250
bet on the fuckin' Super Bowl.
676
00:48:55,250 --> 00:48:57,667
But you guys use it
to fuckin' hunt each other?
677
00:49:03,500 --> 00:49:06,208
Let's roll again.
678
00:49:06,208 --> 00:49:07,583
Somethin' happened
when you went through it,
679
00:49:07,583 --> 00:49:09,750
didn't it?
680
00:49:09,750 --> 00:49:10,958
You got made wrong.
681
00:49:19,958 --> 00:49:22,333
We made a fuckin' game, man.
682
00:50:11,208 --> 00:50:13,167
Time travel's not a game, man.
683
00:50:13,167 --> 00:50:16,000
Didn't you see
fuckin' Terminator ?
684
00:50:17,583 --> 00:50:18,500
Goddamn that timebox.
685
00:50:18,500 --> 00:50:20,917
Now, I gotta come back here,
fix this shit,
686
00:50:20,917 --> 00:50:22,292
and finish the game.
687
00:50:22,292 --> 00:50:24,083
Now, where's the original Tommy
688
00:50:24,083 --> 00:50:25,750
and how many fucking copies
are out there?
689
00:50:35,042 --> 00:50:37,167
You started this game,
