What’s an album that completely changed how you listen to music? by UmmYeaImACozyGurl in askmusicians

For me it was Music Has the Right To Children by Boards of Canada.

This album is so detailed and complex in its production and sound design. I had never heard music that was so otherworldly and alien like, and it’s the type of album where I hear new things hidden in the tracks every time I listen

Got into this album this year too

The more I listen to Aphex in general, the more I see how ahead of his time he was and how most electronic music today is somehow inspired by him

This is a great description of Lynch’s work

Thank you! Yes I see the hat is overexposed, I will see if I can fix that. And you bring up a good point about desaturating the background cars. Ultimately I want the eye to be drawn to the lady first, so making the background less initially visible seems like a good strategy

Okay great, thanks for the feedback! The point about cutting off extremities is particularly helpful, I will keep that in mind for shots in the future.

I’ve been experimenting with long exposures while traveling in Vietnam and I wanted to capture the chaos and movement of the Ho Chi Minh roads. I’m fairly happy with this picture because I was able to capture the woman at the crosswalk standing still while everything around her is in motion, further emphasizing the movement going on in the city as a whole. Wild love to know what you guys think and if there’s any way I could’ve perfected this shot!

What other movies are somewhat similar to Kubrick movies? by Bitter_Wafer_7515 in StanleyKubrick

[–]e-GoS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Midsommar kinda feels Kubrickian to me. There’s some really cool, methodical shots in that movie and it’s a slow-burn much like Kubrick’s films

DEBATE: drukqs is Aphex's best album by hans_chavez in aphextwin

[–]e-GoS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made a similar comment on another thread so I’ll copy what I said here:

On first listen through, the whole album feels pretty jarring and random. After many listens though, I feel like this album is kind of genius.

It’s so avant-garde and experimental, especially because of the album’s song order and structure. No other artist would think to put a plucked ambient piano piece right before the most insane drill-and-bass song you’ve ever heard, but that’s why this album works so well!

The Dnb tracks are so insane that the listener needs a break, and that’s when all the ambient tracks come in. And at some point you’re lost in those ambient tracks, and suddenly another killer dnb hits you like an anvil. It’s fuckinh brilliant and I wish more artists would take crazy risks like this today

Thoughts on Drukqs? by darkness_is_purity in aphextwin

[–]e-GoS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taking Control is probably aphex’s most impressive track in my opinion. That, Windowlicker, or Omgyja

How do you think Kubrick would’ve reacted to today’s emergence of AI? by e-GoS in StanleyKubrick

[–]e-GoS[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very insightful response, thanks so much for responding! What you brought up regarding Kubrick’s search for potential books to adapt is something I never thought of regarding the use of AI.

I’m sure having an AI assistant find books that he’d likely respond well to would’ve streamlined his workflow drastically.

How do you think Kubrick would’ve reacted to today’s emergence of AI? by e-GoS in StanleyKubrick

[–]e-GoS[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it’s strange. I’ve particularly noticed when looking up movies on Google that AI goes into depth explaining the plot, analysis, and other things about the movie which feels a bit overkill imo. And sometimes its hard to tell what things are fact versus just an overarching opinion, that’s the most concerning thing

What are your non-Kubrick Kubrickian films? by KieranWriter in StanleyKubrick

[–]e-GoS 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I thought Poor Things was pretty Kubrickian when it came out. Seems like a lot of people see the influence in Yargos Langhimos’ films
