Tried it this afternoon and could not get it to play the movie, it has given me some problems recently. Maybe if I say nice things to it it will work :lol:

Thanks Mark. I will be updating this tomorrow so a new version will be posted. :D

i had to switch off at 2mins 30 sec after still not hearing any theramin. you simply cannot dare to give something a name like this and not feature a theramin. the original featured one of the best ever examples of a theramin sound.

this is misleading advertising. :x :wink:

Bluedad's "vurx" and this song sound v-e-r-y similar.... hmmm. I like yours better tho. Good effort

Post

hell, I like it better too!
:lol:

Yep - this is right there with Dad's stuff. Very very very nice indeed. :)

I can certainly hear the juxtaposition of a theramin within it, but maybe it doesn't need any of the voice overs you mention? I bet you could probably just add the theramin similar to the movie and people would grok the vibe.

Still a great film and part of my collection for many years - just like 'Forbidden Planet' and 'This Island Earth'. :)

Did I just say "grok the vibe" ?? oh me.... :drunk: :hihi:

Hopefully that will be rectified soon. It is blasphemy to not include it here, I am repentent. :wink:

I listened to Bluedads piece also and it is very good. No pissing contest here. We are equals. :wink: Thanks for the thumbs up.

Thanks Gary, but I like your piece better. Nice guitar like tones and without guitar. Samples, yes, but still. One note sequences can be cool. I used one at the end here. :)

Thanks Xander, The voice samples were what inspired it in the first place so i feel they need to be there but they won't be in the way just a few select spots. You named three of my favorites, I should try a Forbidden Planet inspired tune next. Great Idea. Thamks :idea: 8)

New Mix (added some eq and one sample) Never realized how dificult it would be to try and add voice samples to music. I had a hard time finding the right place for the 4 samples i chose. I ended up using only one. it fits real nice in the mix.

If you are able to do it that would be great, if not, I still love you John. but you will owe me a korg as a penalty. :)

Seriously tho, if it don't work out I still have a great tune. You will have to do a theramin for my next project, a Forbidden Planet tribute 8)

ill use reaktors theramin i think its the best ive found so far 8)


ill do the forbidden planet stuff too
i was telling whyterabbyt last week,i just got absynth came home caught forbidden planet on tv then spent the evening messing with various theramins and didnt even load absynth up :-o
:ud:

Excellent. :)

You know, 'Day' was great because it didn't follow the 'same old' when it came to the plot, and the science and premise was reasonable.

Forbidden followed the increasingly popular formula - where you had to have the 'whacky crew member in hilarious conflict with mechanical man' (Robot vs. cook) but for the time, the matting and FX were awesome for the time - especially the 'Krellian Laboratories' scenes and the 'monster' melting through the blast doors, slowly, steadily - with mindlessly evil intent making it's way toward our heroes - scared me shitless when I was a kid - and again, the science was cool. Inspired hundreds of similar, less absorbing movies, for sure.

I digress :hihi:

The new mix sounds great! 8)

I have been slowly getting my classic scifi dvd collection together, Forbidden Planet was the first one I got. I would love to find the soundtrack cd for that (as well as The day the Earth Stood Still). I also got Things to come and Third Encounters, and Earth Versus the Flying Saucers.

I will let you know when I am ready with forbidden Planet. Hopfully this weekend. 8)
