MIGHT AS WELL DATA DUMP

An odd post here about a new and— to some people, probably exciting— way to send clandestine signals using publicly broadcast pop music. Hooray.

The music of Queen and Van Halen are listed as prime candidates for such data delivery.

Evidently, this technique could also "support covert information gathering or to coordinate a multi-point terrorist attack". Yikes..

The blog post also includes a link to a quiz to see how well you can identify audio watermarks, in case that's of interest.

O brave new world, that has such unease in it.

DULZIPAN: SOUND EDIT AND MIX FOR PROMO VIDEO

Given how often I sound edit and mix the sort of corporate/ industrial material parodied by this video, I thought I knew exactly how to approach this project for Dan Schneidkraut-- a mock promo for "Proxcorp’s groundbreaking despair management solution, Dulzipan." Nope! Turns out Dan wanted something of an unorthodox sensibility-- VO buried somewhat, no real audio accents-- because the piece clearly just plain wasn’t weird enough as it was. This video is one facet of, shall we say, a larger project that threatens to reveal itself eventually. For now, poke around the web site, and be disturbed! Also features the talents of Amanda Day, Ryan Schadalee, and others.
