So I could slip into half-time; I could slip into a third of a time. Anything could go anywhere. At any moment I could drop into a different level of time.”</span></p> </blockquote> <p><span>via <a href="http://www.slashfilm.com/2010/07/28/hans-zimmer-explains-the-intersection-between-edith-piaf-and-the-inception-score/" target="_blank">/film</a></span></p> </blockquote> <p>   This makes me speechless. This just makes me want uninstall all audio software and smash all my hardware. This is genius. I really hope I get to shake Mr.Zimmers hand one day.</p>http://blog.thesoundcrate.com/post/874721333http://blog.thesoundcrate.com/post/874721333Thu, 29 Jul 2010 03:30:56 -0700<object width="400" height="336"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/X_Tf3Tw5bk0&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/X_Tf3Tw5bk0&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="336" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"></embed></object><br/><br/><p><em>Nardwuar vs Drake</em><em><br/></em></p> <p>Nardwuar always has the best interviews, I want to go meet him one day.<br/>Yay for living near Vancouver… :D</p>http://blog.thesoundcrate.com/post/874409118http://blog.thesoundcrate.com/post/874409118Thu, 29 Jul 2010 01:20:00 -0700<object width="400" height="336"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/4bIkPdcqr5k&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/4bIkPdcqr5k&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="336" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"></embed></object><br/><br/><p><em>Hans Zimmer - Musical Theory </em></p> <blockquote> <p><em>“I dont know…. it’s a G6.. over the wrong bass note”</em></p> </blockquote> <p>:D</p>http://blog.thesoundcrate.com/post/869897162http://blog.thesoundcrate.com/post/869897162Wed, 28 Jul 2010 01:04:00 -0700<a href="http://www.indabamusic.com/featured_programs/show/scott-pilgrim-remix-contest">Must find time to do this...</a>http://blog.thesoundcrate.com/post/867405408http://blog.thesoundcrate.com/post/867405408Tue, 27 Jul 2010 13:35:05 -0700UnderCover - Collab w/ Vinay: When Vinay was in Vancouver we linked up, and got to work.

I never decided what direction I wanted to take it in, so it was unfortunately left behind. I ended up making it very experimental and based around glitch editing. All the ideas I had about stutter and glitch editing I wanted to try and implement them as much as possible. Most of the time, editing like this is always very rhythmic and beat based, so that is why I wanted to test out pitch editing as well.</p> <p>“Dismantle”</p> <p>Download it <a target="_blank" href="http://www.reverbnation.com/thesoundcrate">here</a>.</p>http://blog.thesoundcrate.com/post/841736765http://blog.thesoundcrate.com/post/841736765Wed, 21 Jul 2010 12:36:00 -0700I am going to be making/uploading content everyday untill the end of the month, which means...http://blog.thesoundcrate.com/post/838100211http://blog.thesoundcrate.com/post/838100211Tue, 20 Jul 2010 15:43:39 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l5s3tqCrWz1qbhdndo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://icedcaramelle.tumblr.com/post/829708795/via-crus23" target="_blank">icedcaramelle</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>(via <a href="http://crus23.deviantart.com/" target="_blank">CRuS23</a>)</p> </blockquote>http://blog.thesoundcrate.com/post/831232393http://blog.thesoundcrate.com/post/831232393Mon, 19 Jul 2010 01:11:39 -0700<img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l5ky1fmb8O1qboad3o1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>(via <a href="http://andykuan.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">andykuan</a>)</p>http://blog.thesoundcrate.com/post/814120780http://blog.thesoundcrate.com/post/814120780Wed, 14 Jul 2010 23:21:46 -0700Updating the download page soon. :Dhttp://blog.thesoundcrate.com/post/775604409http://blog.thesoundcrate.com/post/775604409Mon, 05 Jul 2010 22:19:05 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l4ibs0RnqF1qzhv6ro1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://robotaki.tumblr.com/post/733983018/the-goodstuff-pedobear-kicks-i-actually-like" target="_blank">robotaki</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="http://the-goodstuff.tumblr.com/post/730558183" target="_blank">the-goodstuff</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Pedobear kicks…</p> <p>I actually like the colors hah… and it’ll probably keep all the kids away from me XD</p> </blockquote> <p>oh my god…life just got more complete</p> </blockquote>http://blog.thesoundcrate.com/post/736996338http://blog.thesoundcrate.com/post/736996338Fri, 25 Jun 2010 21:15:51 -0700<object width="400" height="336"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/dxgnz9W0Lf0&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/dxgnz9W0Lf0&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="336" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"></embed></object><br/><br/><p>Thanks to P.Chao for shouting out my <a href="http://www.youtube.com/kthxmusic" target="_blank">youtube channel</a> and the end of his video.</p>http://blog.thesoundcrate.com/post/730703360http://blog.thesoundcrate.com/post/730703360Thu, 24 Jun 2010 01:13:53 -0700<object width="400" height="336"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/rg-Mk3Vyjcw&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/rg-Mk3Vyjcw&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="336" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"></embed></object><br/><br/><p>Drake Feat.
